Eric helps us face our fears and fly a quad upside-down! Check it out here: www.towerhobbies.com/products/... Check out the article here: flitetest.com/articles/heli-ma...
Awesome video guys. Flying 3D quadcopters is the perfect heli trainer for learning your inverted orientations. I have been flying my Invertix 400 3D quad for the last 6 months, and it is an absolute blast to fly. To bad it has been discontinued I might have to think about picking one of these up to fly. Really impressed that you guys didn't crash it on your first flights.
Looking good in 60fps boys! Another great episode. Well done Eric John and Alex and not crashing haha. I watched this on periscope so it's really cool to see it finally edited. Have a good one 👍
Really like this channel! Fun to watch and lots info. Being a beginner this my go to channel. The on air team are really good. Th two Josh's format is very good. I need lots of detail. Thanks for the time you spent putting this together
Very awesome to see how rapid the techniques and technologies in quad rotors seems to go so fast the last few years. Next season my little own built 250 Cheap racer will be completely "Obsolote" to the new standards.
Nice video people :) And a very interesting quad fro sure! I actually looks nice as well :) Hmm I'm tempted to get this one.. Would you people consider trying the XK X350 (allso a 3D quad) as well?
Hi Guys, Fully agree with Marks comments. I am also from the UK, seen all your videos and look forward to the new ones, We are not gifted in the UK with a bunch of guys like you, full of fun, enthusiasm and the technical now how, not to mention the vast spaces you get to fly, in the UK the only time I get to fly my Q500 is just after day break or just before dusk, I live in Southampton so for safety reasons these are the best times to fly for me, Please keep the videos coming, and if Peter wants a challenge see what he can do with Thunderbird 2,
you guys are so cool you have the best flight channel in the world on youtube you guys get right down to it thanks for the cool video I'm going to look this up and see how much it is it's a bad boy I got me a wltoys V 686 G and it is great for a beginner you guys have a good one man thanks for all the cool videos
If you don't like the delay, there are variable collective pitch props out there. HKing has those, BL motors with a hole through the shaft and the props on them. Just needs a servo attached to the rod going through the motor shaft and you're good to go.
Hay u guys are awesome. I have just finished building the FT tiny trainer, with a few modifications and it flys brilliantly. Thanks for getting me into the hobby. Your vids are awesome and please do something crazy with planes or quad copters. PS. Make them blow up. Thanks oh and by the way I'm from ENGLAND !!!
Well you guys finally put out a video that I keep playing over and over and over, great job on the part of your instructor everybody needs a friend like him. Have you done the FPV yet?
I heard Eric say that when mini quads have this technology? I think the 200QX has had it for over a year now, if I still had a decent paying job i'd have smashed mine quite a few times as soon as I updated the firmware! Awesome to see it on a 500 quad though, can't wait for the FPV video!!
This is the second 3D quad i've seen on YT in last few days,seems like it could soon catch on but like you boys said it's going to be mad on the 250 size racing quads,i can't wait to see all the mental FPV videos inverted going through gates and so on. :-)
+startazz 3D quads are more than 2 years old, you don't see these too often because the 3D-specific propellers are not performing well, because of the symetrical shape of the blades.
+Olivier C Hi Oliver,yeah i know that mate and they were about before the collective pitch quads too like what C Y brought out,but i've got a feeling now that the RC manufacturers are taking note we will see more of them,but thanks for the comment i appreciate it still. ;-)
+startazz ah ok sorry, I had the feeling, according to several other comments in this video, that eveyrbody thought it was a brand new tech :) To be honest, flying inverted is funny the first 10 minutes, then... it's just the same, there's no real up or down on a quad afterall, a pilot could just reverse the canopy and pretend it's flying inverted all the time ;)
You can buy the 3D version of the KISS ESCs (I love them despite being quite flammable) and HQ 3D props if you want to build your own 3D quad. So it's not a heli-max exclusive thing.
I love this episode guys my uncle is working on 3d t-copter using special flashed esc with that same firmware to help fly inverted I have helicopter stick time doing inverts and such I'm going to use as a trainer to help to better 3d moves.
+flitetest you like this, look at the NanoQX 3d. It does the same thing, but has stabilized inverted, has propgaurds, and is smaller so it bounces pretty decent.
i have a few questions not about this model though 1. how thick is the foam you use for your flite test models 2. will the slinger hover 3 can i get that foam in switzerlang
this is pretty cool, but have you tried the Nano QX 3D by blade. It s the same as the Nano QX you guys have shown in the past but they used core less motors also to allow it to be a 3D quad.
Not to related to the episode, but I would love it if you guys made a float plane with water-proofed floats, and maybe be a swappable? Random idea! Great videos! Thanks.
Thanks Tom :) He hasn't seen this video yet but will when he gets home :D Another Race Meet this weekend, so it should be interesting to see how he goes.
Hi, FliteTest! I was wondering which flight simulator I should buy and if you could talk with the guys at RealFlight, Aeroflight, and Phoenix to make a 3d model of the FT designs so that we can practice flying your planes during winter!
Have you guys heard of SUMD? It's like S.BUS but from Graupner. The advantage is that the Naze32 works with SUMD and you sell and use Graupner transmitters. Why didn't you inlulde this in the versacopter video?
HAha! I did my first drone flip today!, I went full throttle when it was on the ground and since the center of mass was a little weird, It did a ground parkour flip, I was pretty lucky though. No props damaged and 10 secs later I was back in the air! :D
+FliteTest I was surprised that David was intimidated to fly this bad boy in 3d as he seems to be a excellent pilot every time he follows you guys around FPV-style with a pretty small quadcopter!
It will be cool if yal do a drone like a f35 or the Harriet abab as a chanlege under 200 were it can hove and fly up to 50 mph or set the speed goal higher
Hey guys I really need your help I bought this quad from a dealer and dint know they had discontinued this brand completely so im not finding the app that I can connect quad to PC to update and calibrate the flight controller
I have a question about this. I love doing stunts with my quadcopters. I have tried 3D before but found it very hard to do. Reason being, I had the Blade Nano QX 3D, but if you go into inverted flight by doing a roll the left and right roll controls would be reversed, but forwards and backwards would remain normal, and if you went into inverted flight doing a flip, the forwards, backward controls would be reversed, and roll would be normal. Is this a common thing you need to overcome with 3D quad flying , or is there something in these nicer quads then when they go inverted they maintain regular control? Or am i simply just doing something wrong? Cause i practiced for long time with the Nano 3D but couldn't get over those weird control reverses. luckily its super durable and could withstand many hard crashes. haha. Thanks for they help guys -Brian
+Brian Hill Your first statements were correct. Regardless of what orientation it is in, you need to reverse the controls in your brain. Think about what direction the nose and top of the aircraft are pointing, and adjust your control inputs based on that orientation. There is no automatic compensation for reversing the controls, but there doesn't need to be. It is certainly very intimidating at first, but it is definitely possible to learn. It just takes a bunch of practice.
