Nothing like having a whole motor in your view.

@drewharrison6433 12 дней назад

30 seconds in and I'm thinking this. The reason we fly X copters is because of the camera.

Yes with old DJI naza v2 FC and KK boards you could setup PLUS config like this. Very cool betaflight allows now, wonder how you tune or if there is option for T config.

Pusher config would help with the motor being in the way at the front.

@johnsmithe4656 3 месяца назад

But razors on the front prop would make it much more useful, and you can use the camera to line up your slices.

@RCRitterFPV 2 месяца назад

9" pusher in the front...

@mr-huggy 3 месяца назад

Having a prop on each axis might help to keep it feeling locked in. Now what would be interesting is doing it so each arm is the same length instead of having the front motor stretched out.

@JinKee 2 месяца назад

If you damage a prop but are still flying an X-copter the flight controller can compensate for the damaged prop by throttling down the opposite prop, and two motors are used to turn on each axis.

@Strelinc 3 месяца назад

As always, thank you guys for the new content! Hope to see more nice locations)

@babyzeefpv9887 3 месяца назад

Brilliant idea Shawn!

@iforce2d 2 месяца назад

Looks like there would be more rotational inertia in pitch than roll, which would either take some getting used to by the pilot, or a lot of PID tuning to cancel out. I flew one of these for a while, albeit with equal length arms and I didn't really notice any difference in flight characteristics. The biggest drawback is that you're always breaking the same direction prop, so you quickly end up with a stack of CW props you don't need, and not many spare CCW props (or whichever you have on the front). You could change the motor directions occasionally to deal with this I suppose.

@wilgarcia1 3 месяца назад

now dress it up like a star wars speeder =P

@JinKee 2 месяца назад

If you increase the camera angle the motor will be at the bottom of your view. If you took it racing the roll authority might give you an edge in cornering, even if the yaw is squirrelly.

@rambozo_fpv176 3 месяца назад

Shawn, fly it more like a plane where you lean to the side and pull back to take corners. It feels very planted when you do it that way. (Directed to Shawn b/c the other 2 are not giving it a chance lol)

@DivergentDronesChrisLemire 3 месяца назад

I have the iFlight + copper and it’s awesome. There camera angles were a little low

@TheGeordietheWitchandtheWench 2 месяца назад

Flying X vs +. The plus is more agile, it will corner better, the throttle can stay open in a corner, more precise control. Forward flight, only one motor changes to correct angle of attack. Rolling, only one motor speeds, both front and rear motor stay constant. (same as pitch) you can push a PLUS much faster than an X. Flying since 2004. Get Captain Vanocer to test it on a track. Keeping the same quad but only moving the YAW to 45 degrees in BETA flight. I'll bet all I have after only a couple of laps the PLUS WILL go faster!!!!! ;-) BUT X IS COOLER and it's a trend!! Thats why people fly X !!!!!!!!

@Quick-Flash 3 месяца назад

That layout will make yaw cause some pitch in one direction, with plus you really want it to be symmetrical.

@Edward-ic2dt 2 месяца назад

How do you guys get that video feed on the phone? is the type of goggles?

@LetsFlyRC 2 месяца назад

Dji o3 system, DJI fly app on iphone (or android) usb c cable from goggles to phone.

@elishahodgson1635 2 месяца назад

Yaw would be really weird because of the two motors spinning up/slowing down, one is a lot shorter than the other so the mechanical advantage from the lever effect would stress one motor more than the other. I doubt there's a betaflight setting for distance from motor to cross center...

@manuelneumann 2 месяца назад

It kinda looks like a tricopter (except for the arm sticking out the front)

@kristo0416 2 месяца назад

@johnsmithe4656 3 месяца назад

@billdor121 2 месяца назад

Been printing and building this style for years. Does have a little different feel, I tend to fly them more like wings where turns end up being more "bank and yank". Can't really say it's better, just feels a bit different

@Kleinage 2 месяца назад

Sounds like it could be fun to race that way…not necessarily efficient, just fun.

@billdor121 2 месяца назад

@Kleinage yeah I like big sweeping lines anyway so it kinda scratched that itch. They do get a little weird trying to do tight stuff though.

@jonah6496 3 месяца назад

This episode was great, it's always fun when Shawn makes crazy stuff for a video! My only idea for the plus-copter is that the of side arms would make it easier to mount wings on, so it could be a good configuration of a Vtol or something like that!

@mariesvilmy5680 2 месяца назад

maybe the camera need to be in front of the front motor

@MRdeLaat 3 месяца назад

make a frame that fits around the lipo. basicly a wider frame body with a hole big enough to slot a lipo in the exact middle so it rests on the bottom plate. that way the weight is not on the top or bottom but in the exact middle of the frame put the FC under the lipo, maybe in a 2nd layer of space like some frames have just curious if it handles better that way or maybe it wil put less stress on the motors

@mtyler2469 3 месяца назад

I think all the arms need to be equal distance from the center so it is a true +.

@Bryanslifebelike 2 месяца назад

Not if you use motor mixer calculator and take measurements of the arm distances in relation to the FC. Old forgotten knowledge but there’s an actual web based calculator out there that outputs the required cli numbers.

@matchewbacca 3 месяца назад

Nothing new in this configuration To get prop out of view could reverse motor under frame Maybe a good choice for long range fliers due to less amp draw for standard maneuvers due to using only 1 motor to spin up for pitch and roll

If any are interested in PLUS ➕️ frames, my company sells a variant of our race proven HeavyMetal Street League Frame🐧🏁🔥🔥🔥... Aerodynamics becomes much more of a premium for High weight/ Low powered Street League quads... The PLUS will arguably hit faster straight line speed on the track at the cost of technical handling...
