AtomRC Dolphin 6S FASTEST ON YOUTUBE (VERSION 2) 

Thanks Jeff, I recon this title will go back and forth like a tennis ball over the next few months. My original setup shouldn’t be hard to beat but my new build could be interesting. Anyway good luck buddy and looking forward to the video👍

I'm more worried about the amps reaching 137. Mine pulls 80a at 125.

Use some 18650's and do a 8s or 12s build @JeffDoesThis

Haha, some competition, love it. I did notice that "Jeff Does This" is going horizontally while you Torquedude, are gaining speed while going down.

Browsing, saw this comment and instantly subscribed. Love the friendly competition!

Aspir3, awesome design and great work! Thanks for uploading them and keep up the great work. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned buddy….Rotor Flex

Just looking at it, you can feel the drag.

DINSTARR-FPV, thanks for the sub, much appreciated. Yes enjoy the videos and hopefully you'll get the taste for a fixed wing fpv setup 👍🏼

@@torquedude you are welcome! 🍻🤙🏾

Fp-AvERY, you’re more than welcome to jump in. The dolphin is a great little airframe to play around with, lots of modifications to be had👍👍

😂😂😂

I read this 5 minutes ago and I’m still laughing, very good englishturbines 😂

@alcmann, I clean the surface I want to paint 2/3 times using isopropyl alcohol to remove the mold release agent. Make sure to change the cloth each time as the release agent sticks to the cloth. I also paint with Rustoleum aerosol as it takes well to the foam. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment….Rotor Flex

Thanks irvine40, shame about the colder conditions on the day 🥶, when it finally warms up here it will perform better, roll on summer 👍

Hopefully I can kinda match it or beat it 😬 probably not. To be honest im not looking for the dolphin to be a speed demon. I have a goblin for that and a alpha stike that I’ve had 211mph in. There my 2 speedys

@@ttucker2073 with the correct motor/ prop combo you could beat my dolphin record no problem. Just remember to upgrade the servos and elevons to handle the extra air speed as I learned that the hard way😂

@@torquedude 😂🙈👍🏻

Moneyluis7809, stay tuned, More to come!

Hey henry3618, yes still using the FIVE33 2207 2070kv champ edition, great little motor so far and seems well built. I’m using different batteries such as custom build Molicel P45B 21700 (6s config) and I have an old 1500mah 6s lipo. I should really invest in a new lipo for this but hate paying the postage prices for lipos here in the uk. Molicel perform very well but still not as good as a high C rating lipo.

Oh and prop is 5x5

@@torquedude Thanks 👍🙂

Hey squirrelynutz1, TMotor’s are a fantastic motor and there F series are great. I run a set on my quad with zero issues. You will need to think about what size of prop/props you are going to use, especially if you are using different voltage battery packs. There is a great calculator online to match a suitable prop with motor kv and battery voltage www.mrd-rc.com/tutorials-tools-and-testing/useful-tools/propeller-speed-calculator/

Hey ttucker2073, it depends on a number of factors such as airframe weight, motor and propeller combo and battery size. If you are building a custom dolphin it’s best to configure the launch settings to suit your own airframe by holding it vertical and finding the sweet spot on the throttle where it just about wants to climb. Mr D - falling with style does a great video on the above technique. The auto launch for my build is 1750 but bare in mind my airframe is much lighter than standard with a high kv motor. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment 👍

@@torquedude great thank you. I will be possibly using a cobra motor, think 2350kv or a t-motor 2600kv. So will be high kv and want to go 6s. But will normally fly 5s. Possibly 4s2p (p42) also for long slow flight.

FpvBerget, thanks for your comment. The area that we fly has a constant decline towards the sea. The approach to the field requires the crossing of a roadway, trees and power lines, keep an eye on the artificial horizon and you’ll see that there is little negative pitch with a last second pull out before I meet the ground running uphill. I could do these runs up higher but doesn’t make for a good video in my eyes as I like to capture the speed run from the ground.

Hey davidwanj, they are BetaFPV Pavo Series COB LED Strip lights. Super flexible and stick on. Easy to use but you need to select what fixed colour you want as they are not RGB type.

CptPotti, skinning the Elevons made a massive difference to the top speed stability but another thing to consider is any external attachments creating turbulence and will definitely cause instability at high speeds. My inav settings are the same as what comes on the original atomrc 405 wing board and been copied across onto the speedybee 405 wing fc. I cant remember of the top of my head but I think atomrc add there own profiles to all their boards depending on what airframe you buy from them. The only thing I have done regarding the inav tuning is an auto tune but no PID’s adjusted from what came on the board. I can still give you a copy of the PID’s from my board if you want? Hope you get it flying nice at high speeds soon 👍

​@@torquedude I bought the kit version of the Dolphin, so I don't have any AtomRC stock settings. So far I fly with the standard Inav settings + the PIDs after the autotune. I would be delighted if you would share the AtomRC settings with me. Maybe that will improve the flight characteristics a bit. The Dolphin is my first RC airplane, so I still have a lot to learn. The only external attachment I have is my complete O3 air unit. However, I would like to keep the air unit outside, as cooling is otherwise very difficult. The bouncing only occurs in Acro / Horizon mode, in manual mode my Dolphin flies well even at high speeds. Since I mainly use my Dolphin for cruising, I want to get a good tune for the stabilized flight modes.

Rcplaytime, cheers buddy. Much appreciated 👍👍

Wlknier, yes go for it buddy, the more challengers the better. Rotor Flex 👍

Thanks kowalenzo 👍

Stock af 😂😂😂, totally stock 🤥. Thanks for the comment 👍

Love me some Daft Punk 👍✌️🤟

@@jordancoleman2402 I'd bet you aren't epileptic either. So of us have to be very careful because flashing lights or some loud beats can trigger an episode. Interesting enough, if it's lower volume it's less likely BUT if you turn the volume down, there goes hearing the narrator too

Bobjoatmon1993, thanks for your comment and I really appreciate the honest feedback. Moving forward as a creator I will definitely bare this in mind as I’d like the videos to be suitable for all my viewers. How did you find the video content minus the audio? I have just realised a new video on my channel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UYusSp1CB6M.htmlsi=iejrBQYbut5CVnHf please check it out as I took into consideration the audio this time. The video is some of my other Rc flying adventures and not the AtomRc dolphin challenge as I’m waiting on another AtomRC airframe arriving to build a faster V3 version. Stay tuned for more. Thanks again for the feedback. Rotor Flex👍

Hey TheKeirsunishi, don’t worry I’ve got a few good speed modifications up my selves. Stay tuned for the next round of top speed runs! 🚀

@@torquedude Buzzing; I can't wait to see the first drone on RU-vid hit mach 1

Jeff, congratulations on your top speed video and draw with myself. I think things are about to get interesting. Great video by the way👍

Thanks for the honest feedback, it’s much appreciated. Music is something we all have personal taste in and is good to get some constructive criticism. I will try to make the sound tracks more universal in the future👍
