You should do a series where you slowly add upgrades until its flyable. Edit: You could put polls in your community section of youtube for the first upgrade
I was very disappointed you did not fly it last time, and I'm even more entertained watching the result of the flights. This is so funny. Keep trying. I am really enjoying this series.
This is my all time favorite style of video. Anything weird or experimental is just a blast to watch. Most of us know why certain things won't work but it's still very fun watching someone show you why it won't work!
When the experimental thing at least has some advantages then it can be pretty interesting to consider - the 3 inch octocopter that Rotor Riot did a video about springs to mind - but when it's just all round using-the-worst-option-you-can-find, then it's not that entertaining because it's just "we knew the esc would blow up quickly... and it did. We knew the frame wouldn't handle a crash... and it didn't" etc...
there's a Spanish channel, DeDrones, that on its golden days used to be specialized in flying the most stupid frames designs you could think about. From a frame made of coke cans to an iPad. If you're interested in that, check the channel
@@ferocious_r would the printlines integrate the fibres or just be put hot onto lukewarm abs though. You are still making the same triplex like laminated mess untill you find a way to divert onto the Z axis with fibres. By melting it, in finely powdered salt for instance.
Having already been... quad-blocked?... U-A-Teased?... NOTAM-ed Flight For You'd?... in the last video, I watch this one with literal trepidation. Aaaaaand I see my patience did _Not_ pay off, LMAO
This was hilarious! You should do similar stuff every once in a while. I really want to get into drones, but I want to learn how to build and repair them, so more build/repair content would be amazing!
I actually think this would have flown on the older versions of Betaflight. These kind of builds were pretty common for new people entering the hobby about 7-8 years ago but with the fundamentals of Betaflight working completely differently now, especially the PID loop and filtering (unrecognisable from how it used to be for the people who don't know) it's no surprise that it just caused a windup.
I can understand some of the reason why this was built. Years ago, HobbyKing used to sell plastic frames for a 5 inch (albeit much sturdier than the one in this video). I'm pretty sure the ones from HobbyKing would have been just as easily destroyed in a crash. Either way, I still learned a lot from this video and I hope you do more of these.
My first quad was 3D printed. I went through several materials until arriving at carbon-fiber nylon. It can tank a tree full speed and fly away now. ;D
Like 10 years ago I had a laser and a lot of basically free acrylic. I made a handful of multi’s with Naze32’s out of acrylic, only took 1 or two crashes to realize acrylic sucks for a frame, looks cool though. Also built a few out of delrin and ABS. It wasn’t perfect but for someone new to the hobby and a handful of Banggood parts it was a cheap gateway drug into the hobby.
A new person at our racing club was gonna use an FC like the first one but a stack for his first race quad build. He took the advice we gave him and didn't end up buying it but should probably forward this too him
The person who built this had enough interest & passion to design and cut his own frame and start experimenting with components, and would have eventually succeeded. I say well done.
I should note that not all plastic frames are terrible like this one. In fact I have a geprc darkstar 20 frame which is injection molded polymer and although it isn't perfect it works really well for what it was made to do. A frame that is designed well to reduce the vibrations feeding through the fc should be able to perform well (maybe).
Looks like the stuff that I got in recently for liquidation. (For Parts and scrap) poly carbonate sheet drones but where built in 2010 by someone in the navy.
Current pids nowadays are not tuned for softer frames. Back then 3d printed folding quad became one of my drones. Yes it would fly, but ofcourse not durable. I believe it was the hovership mhq2. Carbon fiber tmounted prop from tmotor was also a thing, but thankfully i was too broke and opt for plastics, it was the right decision.
It's like FARGO series - each next more and more exciting. Now I catch your idea - JB you start first season of your CRAKEN FRANKENSHTAIN QUAD)))) Waiting so much for next episode))))
Great... well... Crashing, I guess, Joshua! 😂 Either way, I still want to make a frame out of wood. But I'm going to apply some varnish and hang it on the wall. 😬 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Not sure why but I would like to see the rebuild video on this. You have 7 pcs thats a good enough restart. With some tape and filter adjustments, we could really see that thing soar.😉
I actually don't think the motor and a reasonable AIO combination like you used to replace the 16mm FC are a bad option for an ultra-light 5" setup. Those motors weren't powerful, but they were surprisingly efficient, and with the right combination on a very light weight setup, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad combination. I'd be curious to see this rebuilt on a 5" ultralight frame. I've done a similar thing with 1608 motors and it works surprisingly well. You could probably even run like 800mAh 4S packs due to the low current draw if you used really low pitch props and kept the weight under like 400g flying weight. I think there is actually something sound in there, but the initial frame and FC were definitely no good.
Get him to cut the same thing out of polycarbonate instead of acrylic AND 90 degree brace it with some hook and slot joined elements to keep it rigid - polycarb will still be flexible but bracing it should solve that and polycarb is basically indestructible - worth a play IMO :-) but probably been done by someone at some point
I still find this very cool!! I think you should work with this developer and get a good flying one of these just to be a cruiser no hard ripping. It would be a good deed and who knows maybe something for awesome and affordable! And p.s. you should change your title to the most fragile quad ever built 💯🤜
Very entertaining! I've popped a SpeedyBee F405 V4 in an old MJX Bugs 3 frame and moved sliders to the left after the first twitchy test flight. Not quite as fragile, so still flying it. 😁
Eek, what a heap... Master multiplier slider should have been left of center. Default dynamic notch would probably need 2 count, in addition to rpm filtering.
Since you have the electronics left - Make a series of: "Does it fly?" I have some ideas here: 2 sticks, toilet seat, trash bin, running tv, bathtub .... There so many options here 😂😂😂
awe.. I was having trouble with a frame I built similarly, also fragile and not meant to crash, I staked it to the ground with thin rope so it wouldnt do this until I could get the filters and pid tunes right. There are ways to deal with stuff like this. You're just inexperienced in jank building. Unfortunate you gave up too. If you had zero money and wanted to fly you would figure it out like a lot of us have. You're just too successful. lol A pid tuning video on how to tune floppy noisy frames would be a great video and challenge for you I think.
So I just made a state of the art frame entirely from cardboard and threw some castoff electronics from 2015 into it. I'd be perfectly willing to trade you a brand new top of the line 5" quad so that you can make fun of my build and destroy it almost immediately. Hit me up if you're interested.
Could you add a "Part 2" to the title or description? I saw the thumbnail for the original video a few days ago and just watched an embarrassing amount of this video before realizing that all the context I was looking for isn't going to be in this video.
I’ve seen a video about African built drones and some of the things they built with was hilarious but they flew maybe not the best but hey they used what they had and it in my opinion it was brilliant
sir is it okay to buy a used fpv controller. if it is okay then which thing i should consider before buying it. love you great content sir. love from Bangladesh
IT Looks Like the 13A jhemcu AIO FC. I never would use this for a 5inch Quad. But i have good experience with the 40- 50A AIO FC. I fly this FC in my five33 Tiny Trainer and there its OK.
New to your channel!! I have no drone as of now. My last 50 buck 10 inch took a dump lol...batteries just stopped charging for the drone and built in controller battery. Looking for a 3.5 frame for indoor use for real estate work. Too many to choose from lol. Looking to mount a Naked GoPro hero11 on it also. Any advice would be great. Sub to your channels also :) Keep up the great work.
Come on, Botgrinder has already done this. You should have made it fly with more filtering, and then it would be fun to try to break it without crashing, just by overloading the frame with fast direction changes
