    Have you guys had UPS steal the contents of your package?

    That's not true ... you are allowed to open your package before signing for it. Drivers like to get their days over as quickly as possible, so they push pretty hard to get the receiver to sign for the product.

    Thermal paste

    When you polish, whether using 40 down to 5 micron grit polish, or simple jeweller's rouge, spread the polish/paste on a piece of flat glass first. This helps ensure the flattest possible finished surface. @RSG953 ... would it be possible for you to calculate for us the few beers/rum & coke...

    My amp/antenna build and distance test (I will update thread as i go)

    You know, if you have an air compressor, you could probably use a hinged system and an air ram to do the heavy lifting. You would just need to run a couple synflex airlines under the eaves to the air cylinders. Looks like you can buy everything you need on Amazon, and fairly cheap too it appears.

    Thermal paste

    In early computers, and in some very low end units still, mineral rich clay actually was/is used as a thermal compound. Could very well be that is what is being used in these aircraft. If you are going to change to a more modern thermal paste, you will want to clean the mating surfaces as best...

    Thermal paste

    I was just rereading through this thread and noticed where someone had mentioned there is a 1+ mm gap between the heatsink and the aircraft frame. HaloweenHamster's picture doesn't really make that claim evident. There definitely appears to be a significant gap around the heatsink contact...

    Thermal paste

    GC-Extreme is pretty thick and pasty ... trying to think of something to compare it to ... it's thicker than toothpaste. More like "Never-Seize" if you know what that stuff looks like. It doesn't run all over the place. It stays where you put it. I've never had a Mavic apart so I don't really...

    Good choice. MX-4 is in the same class GC-Extreme.

    Thermal paste

    I am certainly not a drone expert, but I'm not sure I would agree with letting the internal fan do all the work. The thermal paste is there for a reason. It may very well be that the internal fan does a good job, but like the thermal paste, the heat sink is there for a reason as well. I would...

    Checking in form Southwestern Ontario

    Brand spanking new Mavic Pro pilot from Southwestern Ontario. First drone ever, and it's pretty cool. Just took it off Beginner's Mode a couple days ago :)
