GIVEAWAY: Quadcopter, TS80 soldering iron, iCharger X6
🕑 Added 2018-10-23 18:27:01 +0000 UTC It's time for a giveaway! This time I'm keeping it simple `by offering up three items at once.The quad is a Rooster frame with CLRAcing F4 FC, JB Micro Eagle, Armattan ESCs, and Lumenier POPO 2407/2500kv motors (they say 2700 kv but they're lying). These are POPO Pro motors so you'll only be able to use them with POPO props. AKK Ultimate vTX. RXSR receiver.
Here's my review of the TS80 soldering iron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl4yi-ziI-E
Here's my review of the iCharger X6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LRYSufvBKw
Three winners will be drawn; each winner will receive one of the above three items.
THIS GIVEAWAY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. Please read this part!
In the U.S. there are laws that regulate giveaways, sweepstakes, raffles, and so forth. Basically, any time somebody pays money for a random chance at winning a prize, that is regulated under the same laws as gambling. This means that almost all small-time giveaways you see people doing on the Internet are probably illegal. But nobody cares and it doesn't matter.
Except Patreon recently realized that a whole bunch of their Creators are probably breaking this law by doing giveaways tied to Patron reward levels. And Patreon cracked down and told Creators they had to stop.
HERE IS WHAT HAS CHANGED ABOUT MY GIVEAWAYS
The only way I can continue to do giveaways is if they are open to anybody, without requiring people to pay me money. This means that my giveaways are open to all Patrons, not just $5 patrons and higher like they used to be. This also means that my giveaways are open even to non-Patrons.
The law does not require that I publicize the giveaway in any particular way. So I'm posting here and all Patrons will receive notification of the giveaway. Anybody else who comes along to enter the giveaway will be able to enter too. But I'm not going to announce the giveaway anywhere except here on my Patreon page.
I have always said that I hope you contribute at the $$ level that is equal to the value you get out of my content. I have always said that I hope the giveaways are a nice bonus, and not the main reason you subscribe. That's still true, and I'm happy to open up the giveaways to all my Patrons starting today.
HOW TO ENTER
To enter the giveaway, leave one comment and one comment only below. Deadline for entries is Friday, October 26. I will announce the winner here on Patreon after performing the drawing. Announcement will probably be after Monday the 29th.

Thank you Josh for your valuable insight into this hobby. We need some quad building videos from you to keep us busy during the cold cold winter months.
Jeff Koper
Woo hoo! Thanks dude!
Soldering on the go - now that would be awesome! :) Thanks Joshua for your valuable tips.
Thanks for a chance to win - love armattan frames.
Joshua you did again a nice explain for a very good Produkt!🌞 All of this a good to have! nice! I hope to be a Winner this Time!
Yes please.
I'm in. Thx Joshua.
In my view it's a long stretch for the US laws to imply that I am gambling by being your supporter. There is no element of luck in being one of your patrons.
Gr8 work Josh
Great channel keep up the good work
Thanks Josh! Appreciate you going above and beyond to help your followers.
Great give away!
It's my turn!
Nice giveaways ;)
Timing is great
Finally my group will stop mocking me for only having a 2.5!
I would like to win one of these give aways.
JB edition motors?
Thanks Josh for trying to do special things for your patreons :) *cross fingers* :)
Really nice package here, does it come with or without jello?
Gotta love regulation huh 😏. Nice build JB, count me in 👍🏼👍🏼
this is a single comment :-) - sorry, it's been one of those days.....
I’m not a supporter because you give stuff away I’m a supporter because your awesome and you give so much to the fpv Community and you always take the time to help people so you will continue to get my money as long as I’m in the hobby thank you

I would love it and fly it and call it George.
Ulrich Petri
Nice giveaway is nice
I can haz?
Rock on with your bad self!
Thanks buddy. I personally know some asshole that reported to Patreon about giveaways. Just some butthurt neighbor of mine that can't handle not winning stuff and thought $1 Patronage gave him the right to complain about how giveaways were done. Cut him out of my life after taking me for a ride getting gear fronted to him from me. He is an entitled 52 year old kid that lives in his sisters garage. Anyway, thanks for all the work!
Love you Josh!
I would love free stuff from JB
Nice . Thanks for the giveaway.
I’d probably crash it being a newbie but I’d still give it a good home and keep it flying as much as possible.
Amazing, thanks for all the give away’s
Thanks JB I'm dirt poor from this hobby!
:)
Thanks for your content and inspiration
Count me in. 😎
Rooster! Been looking heavily at that frame. GL to everyone.
