I knew it was worth hanging around this forum. Last month I saw that others were getting their gear by emailing Kieran so I did the same. After several back and forths, I did not hear from him for a while. Last week got an email with tracking number. Yesterday, way out here in the middle of the Pacific, I got my two pairs of Stormtrooper Phantom Airs.
My thanks to @Karendar for his informational posts. Since I’m getting the dropouts, I will try the copper strip replacement. Curious about battery life though. What can I expect? Also, how do you replace the batteries if you epoxy the shell shut after inserting the copper strip?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hey... Battery life for most seems to even out around 90 minutes. Maybe less, maybe more. I personally have not tested this, so I can't say. I've left them in a drawer for now, as I've had too many other projects to deal with to pick this one up again.
I chose epoxy just so it would stick properly, but I get there might be better solutions available. I tried cell phone sticky tape, but it just wasn't strong enough to hold down the faceplate... If you find a better solution, keep me posted. The faceplate needs to be held down to properly touch the pogo pins and give a proper antenna contact.
