The usual suspects will be back this week... Jae (chipko) www.youtube.com/chipko Tony (Tonstar) www.youtube.com/thetonstar1 Clinton (Ectraz) www.youtube.com/ectraz [0.05] Clint: Hello, welcome to Let's Drone Out with me, Clinton, AKA Ektras, Mr. Jay Chipko over there [8.41] Clint: and Tony, who is our FPV vegan man. [11.09] Jae: What's up? [12.69] Jae: Let's start this again, you know, like, welcome, welcome, welcome to Thursday night, it is [17.03] Jae: Let's Drone Out. [18.03] Tony: I thought we got a good job, well done, Tony. [20.93] Tony: Thank you. [21.93] Clint: Come on, Tony. [22.93] Clint: Everyone's so appreciative. [23.93] Clint: You see that? [24.93] Clint: You know, you had three years of work, undo everything I just did, all that hard effort. [27.73] Clint: No, no, no, actually, we really wanted to do is get... [31.65] Jae: Tony, Tony, Tony's turn for you, Tony. [35.29] Tony: I'm not very good at introductions. [38.37] Tony: So just try. [39.37] Tony: Oh, here we go. [40.37] Tony: Well, sure, welcome, Tony. [41.37] Tony: They're all milled. [42.37] Tony: See? [43.37] Jae: As you could probably tell everybody, we're a little bit tired, we're a little bit sun [51.52] Jae: stroked up and a little bit dishmared. [54.68] Jae: However, we are here every Thursday to give you hopefully some entertainment, if nothing [60.56] Jae: else, maybe some news and some opinion, blah, blah, blah. [66.04] Jae: Yeah, you know, we haven't got a guest on this week. [68.36] Jae: It feels a little bit like we have to just chat now and talk stuff. [75.4] Jae: And there are some people in the chat room. [80.24] Jae: We have Stryker FPV, zero FPV, Blood.TV. [85.64] Jae: We're going to find all the people with the FPV is there, right? [88.2] Jae: Mitch, we got... [89.2] Jae: Mitch, Mitch, you don't get a mention because you haven't got FPV at the end of your name. [95.8] Jae: Mr. Frost. [96.8] Jae: Matt, you haven't... [97.8] Jae: Oh, Scotty FPV. [98.8] Jae: There we go. [99.8] Jae: So I would pre-requisite now to join the chat is you have to have FPV at the end of your [105.48] Tony: name. [106.48] Tony: Why is everybody... [107.48] Tony: Then you ain't coming in. [108.48] Jae: That was a very good track, actually, in that rave place. [114.32] Tony: It was. [115.32] Tony: It was. [116.32] Tony: Cold. [117.32] Jae: We're showing our age, Jay. [118.32] Tony: I know. [119.32] Jae: Which track was that? [120.32] Tony: It was... [121.32] Jae: Oh, shut up, please. [122.32] Jae: Yeah. [123.32] Jae: You wouldn't tell it. [124.32] Jae: In fact, anyone that knows your name is not Dan, you're not coming in. [126.32] Jae: Kicks like a mule, I think it was called. [128.16] Jae: It was Kicks Like a Mule. [130.16] Jae: You just had to go out and take lots of drugs and stuff. [134.76] Jae: White Spy underscore FPV. [136.96] Jae: White Spy's in, it's up. [138.96] Jae: Bringing in the international thing from over in the across the pond. [143.0] Jae: It's in the Florida. [145.12] Jae: Yeah. [146.12] Jae: Well, we've had some awesome weather here in the United Kingdom. [150.0] Jae: We've been lucky, actually. [152.76] Jae: But what I've done, everyone's too hot to fly. [156.16] Jae: Or the goggles get sweaty and everything like that. [158.96] Jae: It seems like the British way is to always complain. [161.8] Clint: That's what we do best. [164.88] Clint: We complain about politics, we complain about flying, we complain when we can fly, [168.16] Clint: we complain when we can't fly, we complain when it's raining, [170.08] Clint: we complain when it's cloudy, we complain when it's sunny. [172.96] Jae: Think to yourselves. [173.96] Jae: Think to yourselves. [174.96] Jae: G'day, Chris. [175.96] Jae: Welcome to this week's [183.12] Jae: No FPV in the name. [184.12] Jae: Dan, Danny, do you want to come on and give us a little rundown on Western Park? [187.48] Jae: Because obviously one of the biggest events of the UK, and some would say even the best [191.28] Jae: event of the UK, has been the Western Park, heady-fest style, fly-fest-esque show in the [200.84] Jae: UK. [201.84] Tony: And JTek's on the biggest car park in the world, listening in. [208.0] Tony: Sup, fella? [210.0] Jae: Yeah, Jokavision said it was too hot to fly at Western Park. [216.16] Jae: I mean, last weekend was truly spectacular. [219.4] Jae: And actually my fan on my goggles was working overtime. [223.72] Clint: I was actually gutted because I was supposed to be at Western Park and I just had so much [228.4] Clint: stuff come up. [229.4] Clint: I never made it. [230.4] Clint: Did you not go? [231.4] Clint: I thought you were doing the... [232.72] Clint: Yeah, I was helping Gary with the OBS stuff, but to be fair, he sit down at Nail by problems [240.56] Clint: with kids and problems with this and problems with that, so I never made it in the end. [244.44] Clint: But I'm gutted about it because I saw some of the videos and it did look pretty awesome. [248.32] Tony: I haven't been there yet. [249.32] Tony: It actually looked like a track that I wouldn't have minded after seeing people fly because [254.4] Tony: it actually looked quite doable for me. [258.2] Tony: I like fast, big tracks and small and technical, just do my heady-like again fast. [266.48] Clint: But that looked quite doable. [268.48] Clint: I saw a video of the wing or a quad or something with pyrotechnics all over it flying around. [273.08] Clint: That looked pretty spectacular. [275.08] Clint: I've heard they've done some pretty insane and massive stuff out there, but yeah, I was [280.76] Clint: actually proper gutted, but by the time I was done and ready to go up there, it was [285.64] Clint: like 10 o'clock in the morning on Sunday and it would have taken me a good four or five [289.52] Clint: hours to get up there. [292.28] Clint: I would have been there in Mexico when. [294.28] Jae: I haven't actually been, but maybe next week we'll get a little let's drone out, plus the [297.76] Jae: up that way. [300.76] Jae: Joker says, yeah, apparently Gavin had a lot of problems with the computers overheating, [304.08] Jae: so they needed some fun with your wine leaf to fan the computers to make sure the I literally [311.0] Clint: would have been sitting there with a bit of card and you've failed. [316.24] Clint: I feel well, I don't know. [317.24] Clint: I feel bad. [318.24] Clint: They're relieved. [319.24] Clint: Can you imagine the stress that would have been watching these computers tie every five [321.72] Clint: minutes? [322.72] Clint: There's nothing worse. [323.72] Jae: So yeah, I think you're actually talking to us. [329.08] Jae: Mitch, are you in a different time zone? [331.08] Jae: Maybe. [332.08] Jae: Are you on Clinton's time zone where you could guess an hour later than an hour earlier? [337.08] Clint: Are we still on this? [339.08] Jae: I mean, it was only a couple of weeks ago, I think. [344.08] Jae: It's just say five hours from now, that way you don't have to worry about this hard times. [352.08] Clint: Well, if it's a couple days ahead, you've got to estimate, you've got like, you know, [356.08] Clint: 76 and a half hours from now. [361.08] Jae: Yeah. [362.08] Jae: T minus 75 hours. [363.08] Jae: How's that? [364.08] Jae: Yeah. [365.08] Jae: I mean, no, but Western Park is always one of those things I was supposed to be away [369.72] Jae: and things didn't quite happen out there supposed to, but I ended up not being able to make [374.76] Jae: it. [375.76] Jae: But yeah, it did look, I mean, I've seen some of the footage as well and it appears nine [379.76] Jae: year old kids are now giving us all a run for the money. [382.6] Tony: Well, it's a reaction of like cats, haven't they? [387.08] Tony: Yeah. [389.08] Clint: My old boys. [390.08] Clint: Tell them what to do. [391.08] Clint: I know just. [392.08] Clint: What? [393.08] Jae: Speak for yourself. [396.08] Tony: I'm moving over to wings now because you don't have to be so fast. [403.08] Jae: Well, actually, I noticed there's quite a few winged videos of yours coming up online [407.2] Jae: on YouTube. [408.72] Tony: It's just been so nice. [411.44] Tony: It's been winged flying weather, isn't it really, no wind, lovely long nights. [417.88] Tony: So I've just been going out every pretty much every night this week. [421.4] Tony: I've gone out to Hidden Valley and all places near and yeah, flying the wing and really [427.04] Tony: enjoyed it. [428.84] Tony: I love it when there's just no wind to fly a wing and you get that really nice footage. [434.08] Tony: It's just 20 minutes FPV and going exploring and having fun. [439.32] Tony: I really, really enjoy it. [442.76] Jae: I've had a wing for, I don't know how long, but I swapped four little BESCs for a wing. [449.84] Jae: No VTX or anything. [450.84] Jae: I'll add that later to it. [452.72] Jae: I'm actually going to get it this weekend. [454.72] Jae: So all I need to do is put a receiver on it and fly. [458.76] Tony: You'll really love it. [460.76] Tony: If you get the right setup, I mean, I've got a TBS, I can't even say it, Capriani, Cappuccino. [468.76] Jae: Cappuccino. [469.76] Tony: Cappuccino. [470.76] Tony: I've got a TBS, Cappuccino and it carries a GoPro and a 5000mAh 2S I run it on. [476.76] Jae: And it doesn't go for weeks. [478.76] Jae: Makes Tony go frothy at the mouth. [481.44] Tony: It does. [482.44] Tony: And it's nice. [483.44] Tony: I mean, it's 20 minutes of just cruising around it. [487.32] Tony: I mean, it's not fast. [488.32] Tony: I didn't want it to be fast. [489.32] Tony: I wanted it to stay in the air for 20 minutes and it does. [492.52] Clint: Sounds really boring. [495.08] Clint: It's not boring. [497.24] Jae: It's not. [500.16] Jae: When you start, it's about just gliding along, isn't it? [502.48] Jae: And you can do with rolls and inverted flights. [504.08] Jae: You can do all that if you want to, but... [507.32] Clint: I think even with the mini quads and stuff, a few times I've just gone out and thought, [512.2] Clint: you know, I can't be bothered to do rolls and loops and stuff and you just end up sort [515.64] Clint: of cruising around a big field or hitting valleys. [518.64] Clint: Hit valleys are a prime example, like sort of heading up the hill and having a look around [522.76] Clint: and finding bushes and going and seeing if you can see anything and then coming back. [526.16] Tony: That's exactly what I did last night on some longest night of the year. [529.88] Tony: I went up there, met Bradder's up there and flew my wing out. [533.64] Tony: Went out right... [534.64] Tony: We went from a different point on top of the hill and flew right out to a different barn. [539.84] Tony: You know, a broken down barn and we were looking around and it's just something different, [545.0] Tony: you know, 20 minutes, beautiful sunsets and stuff. [548.84] Tony: It's fun. [549.84] Tony: And you can go out and just chill. [553.04] Tony: It's all about chill flying for that 20 minutes and not that two and a half minutes of pure [559.16] Tony: upside down, flipping around, you know, all that schmellarkly. [562.44] Jae: So just filming in on one part of the video, one of the videos I saw where you were... [568.64] Jae: And he came along and picked up a wing and said, sorry, Tony, what actually happened? [573.52] Tony: Oh, that was Dan. [574.92] Tony: That was my last battery actually, so it wasn't too bad. [579.92] Tony: We were flying out to the barn at Hidden Valley, you know, the famous barn we all fly out to. [587.0] Tony: We were flying out to the barn and then along and then down a crop field and then back over [591.08] Tony: to ourselves and we were just doing a circle and trying to film each other. [595.72] Tony: He had a 4S really small bonsai, I think it was called a really small wing, so he had [604.04] Tony: to go pretty fast all the time or have five ribs. [607.24] Tony: And at this point he was tailing me and he just throttled up, forgot he was on 4S and [614.48] Tony: just went straight into the back of my prop. [617.52] Tony: It didn't break the prop, but it broke the motor mount, which is all wood, so it snapped [622.96] Tony: that and as soon as it snapped I disarmed, but I could still glide it down, which I did [631.72] Tony: without smashing it to bits. [633.76] Tony: It had his GoPro in it as well, which he was lending me because both my GoPros are not [638.56] Tony: working very well. [639.84] Tony: Really? [640.84] Tony: Yes, the GoPro 3 and 4 are now not, I need to decommission them. [648.4] Tony: I need to actually smash them up with a hammer so I don't keep taking them out and getting [652.44] Tony: disappointed that they work for five minutes and then stop working. [657.6] Tony: But yeah, he went into the back of me and cross landed, but we found it and stuff and [663.28] Tony: just had a really good time. [664.28] Tony: It's actually really quite hard to follow each other with a wing because you're just [668.88] Tony: constantly like that, but it was fun and it's really fun going down across the cornfields [676.16] Tony: about two, one, two, or one foot off the cornfield. [681.24] Jae: Yeah, I think that's the difference, isn't it? [683.0] Jae: And you get the 20 minutes so you don't have to run into all your different renewals and [686.2] Jae: hope to get by. [687.2] Tony: Yeah, it's just such nice, it's just really nice chilled out flying. [692.24] Tony: I didn't think I'd like it, but I got Gabe Robinson to build me a wing, got that wing [700.52] Tony: and then I bought the cappie because I knew it could carry a GoPro and the footage is [705.52] Tony: great. [706.52] Tony: And last night it was lovely. [709.12] Jae: Stryker says that he's actually using 3S now on his quads and stuff and I can't remember [714.32] Jae: the last time I tried a 3-tail on a quad, but actually it does change your flying style. [720.72] Jae: You're not there just to punch up and have the fast moves, sometimes it's about just [724.12] Jae: that gentle exploring or Sunday flying mode. [728.72] Tony: Yeah, hangover mode, 3S. [732.48] Jae: I tell you what, hangover batteries. [734.92] Jae: I was lucky enough to see a 3S quad last night, that is absolutely insane and in fact I will [741.68] Jae: paste the link. [742.68] Tony: Yeah man, that was the lizard, I take it. [745.4] Jae: The lizard, yeah, the 95mm brushless, each in lizards. [749.08] Tony: That does look good. [750.08] Tony: I've looked at a few different videos and then I saw, I watched my subs in the morning [756.88] Tony: while I'm eating my toast and drinking my tea before I go to work and N.J.'s come up, [762.28] Tony: but I was looking at his guns most of the time and weren't really paying much attention [766.2] Tony: to the quad. [767.2] Tony: His guns. [768.2] Tony: Guns. [769.2] Jae: Yeah. [770.2] Jae: You mean his arms? [772.2] Clint: Yeah. [773.2] Jae: What N.J.? [774.2] Jae: You've got a little admirer there. [775.32] Jae: I think Tony's like Tony and N.J., eh? [778.32] Tony: Nothing like that. [780.04] Tony: You know I'm so homophobic. [781.52] Jae: Hey, you're dribbling, Tony, are you looking at him again now? [784.76] Jae: Put your tongue in. [786.44] Jae: I do. [787.44] Jae: No, but I was very impressed by it. [790.28] Tony: It looks really, really cool, doesn't it? [793.72] Jae: You know like on the old QX90s and that, they're not loud, but I kind of expected before I [799.4] Jae: saw this thing take off that it was going to scream and make a lot of noise, but actually [803.24] Jae: it's surprisingly quiet. [805.24] Jae: So agile and so, so much fun. [807.76] Jae: And fast. [808.76] Jae: Oh, they're very fast, actually. [810.76] Jae: And on 3S as well. [812.16] Jae: Looking on the DVR, it looks just like a big quad, and I know that's being said about [816.32] Jae: the QX90 and stuff, they act the same way, but this did, just the manoeuvres and everything, [821.04] Jae: it looked amazing, so. [823.28] Jae: Once again, N.J., causing us to spend money that we don't really have all the time. [826.88] Tony: Yeah, 110 quid in it without receivers and all that. [830.44] Jae: It really does, I think, I can't believe the receiver thing, so. [835.76] Jae: Is it a 3-inch? [837.92] Jae: 2-inch prop. [838.92] Jae: 2. [839.92] Jae: 95 mil. [840.92] Tony: It's a 2-inch, and it's that fast, wow. [845.0] Jae: But it's brushed, there's a 6000 kV motors, running 5-blade props, so I think I've even [853.64] Jae: seen someone put a 4-cell on it, but changed the Gemplan, put the Gemplan props on, so. [859.76] Jae: I think we'll see probably more tinkering from the N.J. Tech world to see what these things [864.12] Jae: are truly capable of. [865.88] Clint: I need to catch up on his videos, I'm a little bit behind. [870.8] Jae: Well, actually, he hasn't been posting many lately. [873.32] Tony: He's not been playing the off-the-top, is he? [875.88] Jae: I think he's been taking ice-core samples in Antarctica, he has been saving Chernobyl [880.68] Jae: from nuclear meltdown, he has been saving wildlife in Africa against poachers. [886.8] Clint: Oh, well, I like that bit. [888.36] Clint: Wow, I didn't realise he was doing so much stuff, that's crazy. [891.12] Clint: Well, I'm sorry. [892.12] Jae: I've been looking for things, you never know where he is or what he's doing, but I think [896.28] Jae: that's the reason he hasn't been able to get to it. [899.28] Clint: He flies to space next week, isn't he? [901.48] Jae: He's just sending up a rocket to space next week to resupply the International Space Station. [908.44] Clint: To find out if a quad will fly in zero gravity. [913.44] Clint: I would love to see a quad trying to take off on the International Space Station. [920.04] Clint: I know it wouldn't work, but can you imagine? [923.04] Jae: It's not going to work and it just spins, why? [926.04] Jae: Inside the International Space Station, it would work, because we've got air, haven't [932.76] Jae: it? [933.76] Jae: They need to breathe something. [934.76] Clint: That's interesting. [935.76] Clint: But another thing is, if you held it there and throttled up, like full throttle and just [940.0] Clint: let go, in theory, it should just stay there. [943.04] Jae: No, not inside the space station. [945.04] Clint: Not inside the space station, no, not in the space station. [949.04] Tony: Okay, so how does a rocket work then? [955.04] Clint: Ion drive, isn't it? [957.04] Clint: I mean, I don't know, I haven't seen what I heard. [959.04] Clint: A rocket, if a quad doesn't, can't push against anything in space, how does a rocket? [964.04] Jae: Because a rocket is ejecting gases out of the end, which then, you know, the law of... [969.04] Tony: So what's the difference between ejecting gases and moving air? [975.04] Tony: Okay. [977.04] Tony: Come on, Jay, tell me. [979.04] Jae: Okay, in a vacuum, you've got nothing acting against the props as they spin, therefore [984.04] Jae: it doesn't push the thrust down, it doesn't draw air at the top and push it down. [989.04] Jae: So, actually, there's even a point that if you took a quad off the top of a mountain, [993.04] Jae: if it's too heavy, it will not take off, because it can't push down to overcome, you know, [1000.04] Tony: the effect of gravity. [1003.04] Tony: Would you like to join our Patreon? [1005.04] Tony: We are going to send Jay to space. [1008.04] Tony: Yes! [1010.04] Jae: Thanks so much. [1011.04] Jae: Yeah. [1012.04] Jae: Thanks. [1014.04] Jae: Too bad. [1015.04] Jae: I'm going there first. [1016.04] Jae: And maybe N.J. will take us up on his next space mission. [1021.04] Jae: I'm friends with Branson, we could do that. [1024.04] Jae: That's indeed, we are doing rocket science now. [1026.04] Jae: Well, Tony's learning about rocket science. [1029.04] Clint: Learning something new every day, like BST and GMT are completely different things. [1034.04] Jae: Yeah. [1035.04] Jae: Sorry, you brought that one up now. [1037.04] Tony: I can't believe we're heading towards winter already, that sucks. [1042.04] Jae: Tony, Tony, Tony, it's a bit depressing, it's only the day after the summer solstice, [1046.04] Jae: we're still in summer, we've still got autumn. [1048.04] Jae: But it's going that way, isn't it? [1050.04] Jae: I'll let you say that when the trees start turning red and the other ones brown. [1055.04] Jae: Right, okay. [1056.04] Jae: Who's heard of beyond visual line of sight as it relates to drones and other flying stuff? [1063.04] Clint: Is that when you drill a hole in the end, where you've got your fat sharks and you put [1067.04] Clint: a hole in the end so you can see your quad while you're flying? [1070.04] Jae: No, technically beyond visual line of sight is once you fly your quad on goggles outside [1074.04] Jae: of where you can't see it from a maintained thing. [1077.04] Jae: News this week is a French mob have successfully tested flying a drone, or at least an autonomous [1087.04] Jae: vehicle 30 miles beyond visual line of sight using a mobile phone network. [1094.04] Clint: I wonder what the delay was like on that. [1097.04] Jae: But if you think you probably don't need that much, you just feed it, go to that coordinate [1101.04] Jae: and then as long as it gets there and it feeds back, it doesn't have to be real time. [1105.04] Clint: It's had GPS and stuff. [1106.04] Clint: It wasn't like FPV, all through. [1108.04] Jae: Oh yeah, I don't think it would have been like fly away. [1112.04] Clint: I mean technically if you put a big enough battery on a DJI, you can fly that 30 miles. [1116.04] Tony: Well, I've seen a quad fly across the channel to France. [1120.04] Tony: They weren't allowed to fly it from one coast to the other. [1125.04] Tony: They had to fly underneath a dinghy. [1128.04] Tony: But they flew... [1130.04] Tony: Why not? [1131.04] Tony: Wasn't that Richard James May that did that one? [1134.04] Tony: I think, I can't remember. [1137.04] Tony: It was a couple of years ago, but I remember watching it. [1140.04] Tony: I just know they weren't allowed to do it from one side to the other. [1143.04] Tony: They had to be in a boat and they were above it. [1146.04] Tony: Sorry, they were under it in a boat and they were flying it across. [1150.04] Jae: Yeah, I mean, under the CAA regulations in the UK, there isn't really anything beyond [1156.04] Jae: visual line of sight, the BVL, because it's usually line of sight or visual line of sight, [1163.04] Jae: the LOS, which is the determining factor, because there hasn't been many tests on it. [1168.04] Jae: The technology is relatively new in the whole aviation space. [1172.04] Jae: And so I think this is the start of further testing. [1175.04] Jae: The French mob were just trying to map out the electricity line. [1178.04] Jae: So they were following along electricity pilots to try and map out the power distribution grid in Europe. [1184.04] Jae: So the actual technology, I mean, it's what Amazon need to get into legislation [1191.04] Jae: and regulation to do their deliveries, because they're going to have to be on visual line of sight. [1199.04] Tony: Can you really see that happening? [1202.04] Tony: I really can't see that happening. [1204.04] Tony: Yeah, I can. [1206.04] Tony: You can. [1208.04] Tony: I know what people are like. [1209.04] Tony: People would be shooting them down to rake parts from them. [1215.04] Jae: Well, this is the whole problem, isn't it? [1217.04] Jae: And the GSM network is not that secure. [1220.04] Jae: They would have had nobody knowing about the flight until they've done it, so they don't have anyone trying to attack it. [1225.04] Jae: But GSM network isn't that secure. [1227.04] Jae: You can jam things, you can knock out signals. [1230.04] Jae: That is one of the problems that Amazon will face. [1233.04] Jae: I mean, let's face it, people have already started to hack ATMs around the world to spit out cash. [1239.04] Jae: So wherever there's something that people find desirable, people will try and break it. [1244.04] Jae: Yeah, definitely. [1246.04] Jae: Yeah. [1247.04] Jae: It's exciting, though, because that is the step forward to where you have your drone. [1253.04] Tony: I don't know, man. [1254.04] Tony: I don't know if they're going to do that, deliver stuff by drone. [1257.04] Clint: When you run out of props and you're in the middle of the field and being able to sort of put an order through to Amazon [1262.04] Clint: and then having a drone fly sort of 40 miles to come and drop your set of props on. [1266.04] Clint: If I'll just nick the drone. [1269.04] Jae: I'll tell you one thing, it's not going to happen with a quadcopter for a while. [1274.04] Jae: It's more fixed wing or at least like a vertical takeoff sort of aircraft that then uses a fixed wing to go further. [1283.04] Jae: But get your groceries delivered by Amazon. [1287.04] Clint: It's getting one step closer to it. [1289.04] Clint: They're going further and further and further as well, aren't they? [1291.04] Clint: You know, they've got the Alexia and then you can now order. [1295.04] Clint: They've got like a new department for groceries and everyday essentials like toilet paper. [1301.04] Jae: That's grown out with bloody grocery talk. [1304.04] Clint: It is very related. [1305.04] Clint: I mean, it's just saying, you know, Amazon. [1307.04] Clint: Eventually. [1309.04] Clint: So, you know, they will be delivering bread and milk. [1313.04] Clint: To be honest, I think it'll be called the milkman 2.0. [1317.04] Jae: Well, the other thing is it's kind of related. [1321.04] Jae: It is the Chinese quantum communication stuff. [1325.04] Jae: I think once you actually get it where you've got an encrypted channel that can't be broken, [1330.04] Jae: then beyond visual line of sight, we'll take it to the next level. [1334.04] Jae: But to be honest, that's still a while off yet. [1337.04] Jae: The Chinese are making a quote there. [1339.04] Jae: Maybe we'll get quantum communication on DJI drones in the future. [1344.04] Tony: More than the curry being delivered by drones. [1348.04] Jae: That'd be quite honest. [1351.04] Jae: Speaking of DJI drones, has anyone heard about the jailbreaking of DJI drones? [1355.04] Jae: No, tell me, tell me more. [1358.04] Tony: I do actually own a Phantom 3 professional. [1363.04] Jae: Well, OK, so we all know that DJI are imposing more and more safety restrictions. [1368.04] Jae: You can't fly here, can't fly there, which is actually I'm a fan of, [1371.04] Jae: just like Tony flying in the airports. [1374.04] Jae: Like I do. [1375.04] Jae: Merch operators, and perhaps you've just spent lots of money on your DJI drone. [1380.04] Jae: You're not allowed to fly exactly where you want or pay everyone. [1383.04] Jae: There is a Russian company that will buy software to unlock it, [1387.04] Jae: to make it through whatever you ask it to do. [1389.04] Jae: Fly up as high as it would go, fly over wherever you want to go. [1393.04] Jae: I mean, it's safety implications, but essentially jailbreak your DJI drone. [1397.04] Jae: I am. [1398.04] Tony: That's not good for safety, though, is it? [1403.04] Tony: You know, is is, as it were. [1408.04] Tony: If is is, you want to do anything with it. [1412.04] Clint: It's only going to be a small amount of people that will use that, though. [1415.04] Clint: I mean, it's like anything, isn't it? [1418.04] Clint: There are safe drivers and there are unsafe drivers. [1421.04] Clint: There are people that are going to operate their drones and fly in places that shouldn't. [1424.04] Clint: And there are people that are going to respect it. [1427.04] Jae: But this is the ethical application of the technology. [1429.04] Jae: It's not the technology. [1430.04] Jae: All the software is to unlock it, but it's at fault. [1432.04] Jae: It's the person's advantage. [1434.04] Jae: But I think it's interesting that, you know, like we were saying, [1438.04] Jae: if there's something in place, people will try and break it. [1440.04] Jae: And that's just one other aspect of it where people are saying, [1444.04] Jae: look, I spent 1,000, 2,000, whatever on this DJI drone. [1448.04] Jae: And now you're telling me I can't even fly above. [1450.04] Jae: Even though I have permission. [1452.04] Jae: I mean, there are ways of getting around that with DJI anyway. [1454.04] Jae: You can fly in areas that they're going through their authentication and unlock it. [1458.04] Jae: So it's not like you really need to. [1460.04] Tony: That's where you have to give you credit card details, isn't it? [1463.04] Tony: Or your phone number or something? [1465.04] Clint: It won't be long. [1466.04] Clint: By the way, I'm charging you for a flight. [1468.04] Clint: You just swap your card across the back of the DJI. [1470.04] Clint: Oh, yeah. [1471.04] Jae: Keeping with our shout-outs for people with FPV at the end of the day. [1474.04] Jae: And we've got Metacala and Lost FPV. [1478.04] Jae: Welcome to the chat, guys. [1481.04] Jae: Yeah. [1482.04] Jae: I mean, going back from the DJI, [1485.04] Jae: my Phantom does actually go beyond visual eyesight, [1488.04] Jae: because I can see it sometimes still on the screen when I can't see it in the air. [1493.04] Jae: It's not too long to take? [1495.04] Jae: No. [1496.04] Jae: I mean, I'm just saying that that is possible. [1497.04] Clint: I have never done it. [1498.04] Tony: No. [1499.04] Clint: Nor have I ever. [1501.04] Clint: What about you can see it through a telescope? [1504.04] Clint: Is that still on site? [1505.04] Clint: Is that still technically illegal? [1508.04] Clint: Don't know. [1509.04] Jae: It's unaided. [1510.04] Jae: Actually, as the UK law goes, it's unaided. [1513.04] Jae: In other words, not true binoculars. [1514.04] Clint: So it actually very specifically says unaided. [1518.04] Clint: What about if you're wearing really thick glasses? [1522.35] Clint: But what if you're wearing glasses in general? [1525.35] Jae: OK. [1526.35] Jae: The only way I think you'd get around it is if you said you had an augmented eye [1529.35] Jae: that was your own eye. [1530.35] Jae: So it's unaided because of your own. [1532.35] Jae: That allows you to see for competition. [1535.35] Jae: Then I guess that's your only way around it. [1538.35] Clint: What about if you're blind and you fly using your ears? [1545.35] Jae: How many blind people do you know that fly by ears? [1549.35] Clint: I'm surprised we haven't seen any yet, but yeah. [1551.35] Clint: I mean, a little tea actually. [1553.35] Clint: I think it was Roto-Riot. [1556.35] Clint: It was absolutely amazing. [1557.35] Clint: The guy that had been, I think he was in the war and he had lost an arm [1560.35] Clint: and he was still flying FPV. [1562.35] Clint: He was like, wow, that's a good one. [1564.35] Tony: Yeah. [1565.35] Tony: Yeah. [1566.35] Clint: No, I went to meet him, didn't you? [1568.35] Clint: Yeah, it was crazy. [1569.35] Clint: I think they gave him a quad, but it's crazy. [1573.35] Clint: It's crazy. [1574.35] Clint: And that's why I said about blind people. [1577.35] Clint: Well, look at that. [1578.35] Clint: That girl has just been the social hit recently, [1581.35] Clint: the viral thing where she's singing and playing the guitar, [1584.35] Clint: but then she's legally deaf. [1586.35] Jae: Wow. [1588.73] Jae: Was she deaf from the start of life or was she deaf later on? [1592.73] Clint: I think it was 18, but I could be wrong. [1594.73] Clint: I'm sure as of around about 18 she went deaf. [1598.73] Clint: But still, it just goes to show that someone they can't hear [1602.73] Clint: can still play music. [1603.73] Clint: Yeah. [1604.73] Jae: I think there was an old video where I saw this guy [1608.73] Jae: and he does echo location. [1610.73] Jae: So he clicks his mouth and he listens for the vibration back. [1615.73] Jae: Yeah, bat boy. [1616.73] Jae: Watch out if it's a stone wall, if it's a soft wall. [1619.73] Jae: There's no reason why he couldn't fit a drone with some sort of echo location [1623.73] Jae: and feed that back. [1624.73] Jae: So there's no reason why someone who was blind couldn't fly a drone [1628.73] Jae: in that sense, using audio to get around the vision [1631.73] Jae: or lost their lack of hope. [1633.73] Clint: It wasn't what I was getting at, though. [1635.73] Clint: I was just... [1636.73] Clint: Well, you brought it up. [1638.73] Clint: I'll take it to the end. [1639.73] Clint: I think it was about the aided line of sight thing [1641.73] Clint: because I know the rules and the regulations and stuff, [1645.73] Clint: but I don't think I've probably read them in as much detail [1649.73] Clint: as I probably should because obviously there are different sources [1653.73] Clint: and some of them just break it down into what we need to know [1657.73] Clint: and stuff. [1658.73] Clint: That's that. [1659.73] Clint: Yeah, I didn't know about the binoculars, [1662.73] Clint: which is why I was just curious. [1664.73] Tony: I made it. [1665.73] Tony: Jay, back to the lizard. [1668.73] Tony: Do you think that little two-inch could give five inches [1672.73] Tony: a run for their money on a racetrack? [1675.73] Tony: Because getting through a gate with a two-inch... [1681.86] Jae: We lost Tony. [1682.86] Jae: He looks like he's storing food in his cheeks at the moment. [1686.86] Jae: How do you... [1687.86] Jae: Tony, okay, and I actually mentioned this to MJ last night. [1691.86] Jae: I said, well, this is where you're going to have to start [1693.86] Jae: having class structures only, like class-sized races, [1696.86] Jae: because I did see a YouTube video, or I saw the link to it, [1701.86] Jae: saying that they can even get up to 100 miles an hour. [1703.86] Jae: I don't know if that's true or not, but at that point, [1706.86] Jae: you don't have to be as accurate to get through the gate, do you? [1709.86] Jae: So at the moment, I think they could give them a run for the money, [1714.86] Jae: especially around a tight technical track. [1716.86] Jae: And also, when I saw the lizard in flight, [1720.86] Jae: and it seemed to change direction in a flash, [1725.86] Jae: because it doesn't have the momentum to try and build up [1728.86] Jae: because the weight's a lot less, [1729.86] Jae: I think it would be an unfair advantage to have a lizard [1732.86] Jae: against a five-inch or even a, let's say, a 200-size quad race. [1737.86] Clint: Because there was a lot of people running three inches this year as well, [1741.86] Clint: weren't there? [1742.86] Clint: So I know I've heard quite a few stories [1744.86] Clint: where people have been running three-inch quads [1746.86] Clint: around the racetracks and stuff, [1747.86] Clint: and they're just absolutely smashing it, [1750.86] Clint: because the power to weight is just crazy, [1753.86] Clint: and the acceleration is really, really high. [1755.86] Clint: And when it comes to tight-knit tracks, [1756.86] Clint: they're getting around a lot quicker. [1758.86] Jae: Exactly. [1759.86] Jae: So it does have to come down to under 100 mil, [1763.86] Jae: 100 to maybe 150, 150 to 20, I don't know. [1768.86] Jae: But there are no sort of leaks even for the class size. [1772.86] Jae: Like in motorsport, you get the Formula 4, [1774.86] Jae: you get all the different classes of engine size. [1777.86] Jae: I think the same is going to have to start being introduced in... [1781.86] Clint: Yeah, and I think the size is probably a good class to work on as well, [1784.86] Clint: isn't it? Like two-inch, three-inch, four-inch? [1786.86] Clint: I totally missed all of that. [1788.86] Clint: We answered your question. [1790.86] Tony: Well, I know, but I didn't near it because I got kicked out. [1793.86] Jae: It's an unfair advantage, yes, maybe not flat-out speed. [1796.86] Tony: But you could get prop washed, [1798.86] Tony: because I've blown my mates overtaking them both five-inch, [1801.86] Tony: and I've blown my mates out of the way, [1803.86] Tony: and they've had a five-inch quad. [1806.86] Tony: So it's a risk. [1810.86] Clint: Talking about micro-quads and blowing out of the way, [1813.86] Clint: have you seen the video of the guy using the Dyson... [1817.86] Clint: How fucking awesome is this? [1819.86] Clint: ...bandless fans flying the tiny ones to get the boost for it? [1823.86] Jae: What, no? Finally. Post it, post it. [1826.86] Clint: He's got the Dyson fans, the bladeless fans. [1828.86] Clint: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [1830.86] Clint: They've set up a racetrack for the tiny whoops, [1833.86] Clint: and as you fly through the fans, [1835.86] Clint: it's actually going to throw you at the other end. [1837.86] Clint: It's just... [1839.86] Clint: Brilliant. [1841.86] Jae: Okay, answer in the chat if you've got any Dyson bladeless fans. [1846.86] Jae: Maybe we should actually get Dyson to sponsor a... [1852.86] Clint: It's going to be the new PJI fan. [1856.86] Jae: In all the racing games and stuff, [1858.86] Jae: you always had that power boost, didn't you, in the Looper games? [1861.86] Clint: I think it's a cool idea as well, [1863.86] Clint: especially in micros setting up a few fans just to throw people's orientation. [1866.86] Jae: Come on, then. We're going to have to try and find this. [1868.86] Jae: Let me just talk as much as I can. [1870.86] Tony: Why don't we make an LDO three-inch or two-inch quad [1875.86] Tony: and call it the housefly? [1878.86] Tony: Who said in here it changes direction like a housefly? [1881.86] Tony: N.J. [1883.86] Jae: Tiny whoopcrawls of terror. Is that what it's called, Joker? [1888.86] Jae: I'm trying to find it now. [1891.86] Jae: Tiny whoopcrawls of terror. Is that it? [1895.86] Jae: I got one of the cheap 10-inch bladeless fans. [1898.86] Jae: It looks like if you don't even have to get the Dyson one, [1900.86] Jae: you can just knock off one. [1902.86] Jae: This might be the right one, and we recommend... [1908.8] Jae: Don't go away from the chat at the moment. [1910.8] Jae: But there you go. [1912.8] Jae: Blah, it's like... [1914.8] Jae: Is it the right one? [1915.8] Jae: Actually, Sloth's asking what motors, guys, do you recommend for a five-inch? [1918.8] Jae: There's only one that I would recommend, Cobra motors. [1920.8] Tony: I know what you're going to say, Cobra. [1922.8] Tony: I'm going to say, brother Hobbie. [1924.8] Tony: And... [1925.8] Clint: And do you know what? I am flying F-C, please. [1928.8] Clint: But... [1929.8] Jae: All right, so that's it. We're going to leave them in there. [1931.8] Clint: Go on, then. Carry on. This is good. Go. [1934.8] Clint: I recommend the RS2205S E-Maxes because the price against the power... [1939.8] Clint: ...against the reliability is just really good. [1942.8] Clint: In my personal opinion. [1946.8] Jae: I had a different idea. [1948.8] Jae: I don't think he's in the church today, [1950.8] Jae: but he actually messaged me before I came on the show. [1952.8] Jae: He's saying, I've got a Gravity 280. [1954.8] Jae: And he's only just started flying Acro and stuff, [1956.8] Jae: and he's saying, what frame should I get for around 50 pounds? [1958.8] Jae: And I said, do you crash a lot? [1960.8] Jae: And he says, no, but yes. [1962.8] Jae: And he's looking at the obsession, [1964.8] Jae: and I'm thinking, [1966.8] Jae: well, that's just as tricky run as to what you should buy for the 5-inch. [1970.8] Jae: There's so many different things out there. [1974.56] Jae: We all went from Mike to Sloth, by the way. [1977.56] Jae: The only thing I don't like is the... [1980.56] Jae: I've known lots of people to lose their prop nuts. [1984.56] Jae: I love the idea that it's an Allen Key X-key style lightning thing, [1989.56] Jae: but I have heard positives and negatives on that. [1994.56] Tony: I think they all have positive negatives. [1998.56] Tony: I was flying my brother hobby 26,000 kV [2002.56] Tony: on a quad watt weighs 320 grams [2006.56] Tony: and using a 1600 Overlander 4S battery [2010.56] Tony: and getting three and a half minutes round a track. [2013.56] Tony: And that is really good. [2015.56] Tony: Really good for 2600 kV. [2018.56] Tony: You'd normally expect that on a 2300 kV. [2023.56] Tony: So I've yet to test my brother hobby 2300 kVs. [2026.56] Tony: I'd probably get four and a half, nearly five minutes on them. [2029.56] Tony: That's crazy. [2030.56] Tony: They're amazing. [2032.56] Clint: I've just got the new 95C, whatever they are, AC batteries. [2038.56] Clint: Okay, what are the gold ones? [2040.56] Clint: Yeah, and you know what? [2042.56] Clint: Personally, I can't tell any difference against the original ACs, [2045.56] Clint: but the one thing I will say is that they're a lot better form factor. [2051.56] Jae: Yeah, because I found the original ACs too long. [2055.56] Clint: The original ACs are too bulky. [2058.56] Clint: So for like the FSGX210, the fossil FSGX210, they don't fit in. [2063.56] Clint: You have to modify the trays and everything because they're too big. [2067.56] Clint: They're just really, really sort of quite big and wide, [2071.56] Clint: whereas the new ones are a bit slimmer and slightly longer. [2075.56] Clint: So yeah, from that point of view, I'm kind of sold on them. [2080.56] Jae: For those who have Cobra 2207, either the 2450s or the 2600, [2085.56] Jae: which win races and championships, I'd say go Cobra 2207. [2091.56] Tony: Brother hobby. [2092.56] Tony: Brother. [2093.56] Jae: Brother. [2094.56] Jae: Or a 2205S. [2095.56] Tony: I must admit, I have still... [2098.56] Jae: There's an advantage that you buy cheap by twice. [2101.56] Tony: I've still got EMAX on some of my quads, the original 2300s and 26,000 kV, [2108.56] Tony: they're still good. [2110.56] Tony: Oldies gold. [2111.56] Clint: Yeah, but I mean, I've had the RS2025s [2113.56] Clint: and I don't think I've ever busted one of them. [2115.56] Clint: They're bulletproof. [2116.56] Tony: They're good motors. [2117.56] Tony: They really are the EMAX. [2118.56] Tony: I've never had Cobra apart from the... [2121.56] Tony: I've got the Cobra 21,000 kV race edition for my 6-inch quad. [2127.56] Tony: And I rate them. [2128.56] Tony: They're pretty good. [2129.56] Tony: But the brother hobby is so powerful and they're just such nice motors. [2134.56] Jae: Okay, look, look, look. [2135.56] Jae: I think it was Chad Nowak who rated the brother hobby. [2138.56] Jae: Tom Smith, NJ, myself and many others of the team Cobra. [2144.56] Jae: Just Cobra if you've never had them try them. [2147.56] Jae: Just for the actual response that they have and the power that they have. [2151.56] Jae: Even on a big... [2152.56] Tony: Have you flown brother hobby? [2154.56] Clint: I've flown RS2205S's. [2157.56] Tony: Yes. [2158.56] Tony: Yes, and I do like them, Clint. [2160.56] Tony: But my argument to Jay is, has he flown brother hobby? [2165.56] Jae: Give me a set and I'll fly them for you. [2168.56] Clint: Sending you some tomorrow. [2170.56] Clint: Oh, yeah. [2171.56] Clint: So how much are the brother hobby motors? [2175.56] Clint: 19 quid a hitch, I think. [2177.56] Clint: And how much are the Cobras? [2180.56] Jae: No, they're about 1850 for a Cobra. [2182.56] Jae: I bought one yesterday or two actually from... [2186.56] Clint: The RS2205S's I think I saw them for £14 each the other day. [2191.56] Jae: By cheap by twice. [2193.56] Clint: Yep. [2194.56] Tony: No, they're not. [2196.56] Tony: They're good. [2197.56] Tony: Jack calls them... [2198.56] Tony: They're like cheese and they fall to bits. [2201.56] Tony: But I've never had any of my EMAX fall to bits to be there. [2204.56] Jae: This is the problem, isn't it? [2206.56] Jae: We've discussed this before. [2208.56] Jae: I think EMAX had that sweet spot. [2210.56] Jae: They had their quality control on the production line. [2214.56] Jae: And everyone wanted the red bottoms. [2216.56] Jae: And everyone sort of then... [2218.56] Jae: I think that their quality as they ramped up production started to lack. [2222.56] Jae: And sometimes good not to necessarily go for the most popular ones out there. [2225.56] Tony: I remember Cobra doing that exact thing a year ago. [2229.56] Jae: But then Cobra went away and really knuckled down to say, here we go. [2232.56] Clint: They had to, didn't they, Jack? [2234.56] Clint: So according to droneinsider.org, the best mini quad motors 2017, [2240.56] Clint: number one is the Brava Hop Hobby Hyperlite V4s 2206-2300KV. [2245.56] Clint: Yep. [2246.56] Clint: Second place is the Armiton of 2206-2300KV. [2249.56] Clint: Bias. [2250.56] Clint: Bias. [2251.56] Clint: Third place is Multicopter Builders 2207-2400KV. [2255.56] Clint: Fourth place is EMAX RS-2205S's. [2258.56] Clint: Fifth place is T-Motor F60 2207-2200KV. [2263.56] Clint: That's droneinsider. [2265.56] Tony: Listen to me Brava Hobby. [2269.56] Jae: Look, you know, okay, he realises the whole point of this whole conversation. [2274.56] Jae: ESCs, motors, they've all come a long way. [2277.56] Jae: And I think whichever of these we've discussed you bought, [2279.56] Jae: you'd probably end up being very happy with them. [2281.56] Tony: You would be happy with all of them because I own T-Motor as well. [2285.56] Tony: They're great motors. [2287.56] Jae: It's an endless sort of discussion that we'll just all say one over the other. [2290.56] Clint: It's a very opinionated hobby, isn't it? [2293.56] Clint: It's like, for example, you'll know the EMAX X5s I love in the pieces. [2298.56] Clint: Whereas you'll say chameleon, chameleon, chameleon all day. [2301.56] Clint: And Tony's going to say, I don't know what Tony will say. [2304.56] Clint: Go on, Tony, what's your favourite frame? [2306.56] Tony: I love the revote. [2309.56] Clint: I wonder why. [2311.56] Tony: I love the revote for me, but it's a pain in the arse to build. [2316.56] Tony: That's all I can say. [2319.56] Tony: But for other people like Smokey, [2322.56] Tony: now he knows it so well. [2324.56] Tony: He can build it, redo it. [2326.56] Tony: He can re-rig it in minutes. [2328.56] Tony: So if he did crash out, he'd be ready for the next round. [2332.56] Tony: And the arms, the way they are, I think give him a lot of stuff on the start. [2342.56] Tony: He's got quite a quicker acceleration and stuff. [2346.56] Tony: But even so, I'm still loving my old fossil stuff, my old 210 plastic. [2354.56] Tony: I flew the quad that I designed around, well, me and my mate designed around some of those ponds. [2363.56] Tony: And then I went back to my fossil stuff and I was carrying a GoPro and it was heavy and stuff. [2370.56] Tony: It was like 550 grams or something, but I loved it. [2375.56] Tony: I loved that bloody fossil stuff. [2378.56] Tony: I really do. [2381.56] Tony: It all depends on you and what you want to do with it. [2386.56] Jae: Best frame for 50 quid. [2388.56] Tony: Is there a frame for 50 quid? I've never bought a frame for 50 quid. [2392.56] Jae: Well, no, there is a frame for 50 quid because like the X5 is a lot less than 50 quid. [2396.56] Clint: X5 with PD being 26 quid on eBay. [2400.56] Clint: The trouble is this can't really happen. [2402.56] Clint: And a Beck as well, so 5 volt and a 12 volt Beck. [2405.56] Clint: It used to be like when there wasn't so many bits and stuff. [2409.56] Clint: It comes with a spare arm, a spare top plate. [2412.56] Tony: What would you all start a quad be? [2415.56] Clint: Now it's the X210 X4205S with a race flight controller. [2422.9] Tony: I'm getting annoyed with race flight. [2424.9] Tony: I actually put, I flew one of my quads the other day on race flight and it flew crap. [2432.9] Tony: And then me and Brad has put the latest Boris on race flight and it flew beautiful. [2443.9] Tony: Absolutely, I was like, this is so good. [2447.9] Tony: This is so much better. [2449.9] Tony: Weirdly now, I find my race flight setup is better for freestyle [2456.9] Tony: and my Boris feels so much better for racing. [2461.9] Clint: The reason I say race flight first for a new flyer is because obviously the simplicity of it. [2468.9] Tony: Oh, the setup is on race flight I love. [2471.9] Clint: Yeah, so that's why the FSGX210 RS2205 or 2205S is and the race flight controller [2478.9] Clint: because I think that's about, I think that's a really good starting point. [2481.9] Clint: I do as well, I really do. [2483.9] Clint: It's actually really fucking strong, easy to set up. [2486.9] Jae: The setting up on the race flight is brilliant. [2491.9] Jae: I've got a joke. [2493.9] Jae: I do it right now. [2494.9] Jae: He said that Cobra is having a better build quality. [2498.9] Jae: He wins. [2500.9] Jae: Big day though, a year ago. [2504.9] Tony: What's that? [2506.9] Tony: Nothing, just talking about Cobra a year ago. [2510.9] Clint: But there doesn't seem to, if you look at the, I don't know how true the specs are, [2514.9] Clint: but if you look at the specs there's never much in it. [2516.9] Clint: Between the RS2205S, when you look at the power, and you know, there's no numbers. [2524.9] Clint: If you buy any of them, you'll do well with any of them. [2527.9] Clint: It's like the race, not the race flight, but the one of those cheap Chinese motors, [2531.9] Clint: it costs like six quid each. [2534.9] Clint: Race style? [2536.9] Clint: Yeah, people have been running them on D-Shot 600 and they've been smooth as anything. [2539.9] Clint: I mean, I've seen videos of them hover there. [2541.9] Clint: You're like, no, they can't be six quid each. [2544.9] Clint: So, is there a lot in it? [2546.9] Clint: Just the build quality and stuff? [2548.9] Clint: But if you're going to spend six quid, does it matter? [2550.9] Jae: I mean, my Cobras did survive a four mil base plate being smashed [2556.9] Jae: and eventually cracking too. [2558.9] Jae: However, when a plaid went into the ground upside down, [2560.9] Jae: it did actually fly in that one. [2562.9] Jae: So, motors will take a beating and motors do fail. [2565.9] Jae: Still say, don't you? [2566.9] Jae: It all depends on your crashes as well, doesn't it? [2569.9] Jae: I mean, I saw Mr. Thrust flying a race style motor, [2574.9] Jae: and to be honest, you can get fast motors that fly like a dream. [2579.9] Jae: But according to your budget, I actually never tried Cobras motors before [2583.9] Jae: and I've seen lots of great things about them. [2585.9] Jae: That's why I went with Cobras. [2588.9] Jae: Same for the Brother Hobby. [2591.9] Jae: Who was buying them then? [2593.9] Jae: Who actually asked that one? [2595.9] Jae: Striker? [2596.9] Jae: Who was it? [2597.9] Jae: I can't remember. [2598.9] Clint: I think it was Fluff. [2600.9] Tony: And he hasn't been drinking. [2602.9] Tony: Jay's not been drinking and he can't remember. [2606.9] Clint: It's too hot. [2607.9] Clint: You've seen a red in my face. [2608.9] Clint: This is like me. [2610.9] Clint: Brains aren't working. [2611.9] Jae: Tony, we worked out that when you drink you talk, [2614.9] Jae: so we're going to have to play with alcohol every single week. [2617.9] Tony: Send me a bottle every week. [2618.9] Tony: I'll be fine. [2619.9] Clint: You imagine the LDO Christmas special sitting there with bottles of wine [2624.9] Clint: and whiskey. [2627.9] Jae: In fact, we should actually have a big get-together for a Christmas party. [2630.9] Jae: We're talking about all these other things in the summer. [2633.9] Jae: We still have to plan so much. [2635.9] Tony: We've got to do an LDO get-together [2638.9] Tony: and do a 24-hour live stream in the middle of a field. [2641.9] Tony: It's got to be done. [2643.9] Jae: I think with everyone so far around the country, [2645.9] Jae: we maybe should choose somewhere essential as well. [2647.9] Jae: So more on that in another day. [2649.9] Jae: We could do that. [2651.9] Tony: I'm not fast. [2655.44] Clint: Maybe the airport or something. [2658.44] Clint: I think on large big runways, we could set a race track up. [2661.44] Clint: I'm sure I like the style. [2664.44] Clint: I'm sure I go down really well. [2666.44] Clint: I'm like power looping the planes as they come into land. [2669.44] Clint: I am joking, by the way, [2671.44] Clint: as just to clarify before anybody goes and sets a race track up on it. [2676.44] Clint: Yeah. [2678.44] Jae: Was it Alexander? [2680.44] Jae: Did a tiny loop place around some planes in the US last night? [2685.44] Jae: Neil's been flying over some 4-7 years. [2691.86] Jae: We need some interesting language. [2693.86] Jae: What we do is we all get lizards for Christmas. [2696.86] Jae: Yeah, man. [2698.86] Jae: 24-hour FPV flying around. [2700.86] Jae: But by then, who knows? [2702.86] Jae: There might even be a lot more agile in the past one. [2705.86] Jae: I keep on wanting to look at this tiny boot gate. [2709.86] Jae: Thanks, Quentin. [2711.86] Tony: I want to see this. [2713.86] Jae: I've set up a chat earlier. [2715.86] Jae: There might be other versions of it. [2717.86] Jae: Such a good idea. [2719.86] Jae: Such a good idea. [2721.86] Jae: So he's working on that at the moment. [2722.86] Jae: He's building what? [2723.86] Jae: Is anyone doing anything exciting in the drone flying world [2726.86] Jae: or building world? [2728.86] Tony: No. [2729.86] Tony: I'm just switching my race flight to Boris again [2733.86] Tony: on my other quad. [2735.86] Clint: I can't remember the last time I flew. [2737.86] Clint: It's been a while. [2739.86] Clint: We're supposed to be going on Sunday. [2741.86] Clint: I think we're going to do a quarry. [2743.86] Clint: It should be pretty cool. [2746.86] Clint: Yeah, got some catching up to do, that's for sure. [2748.86] Clint: Don't break some quads. [2752.62] Tony: Mr. Fruss says there's a new... [2755.62] Tony: On quadcopter.co.uk is the new track on Rokorush. [2760.62] Tony: So quadcopter's track, if you've seen... [2765.62] Tony: HPIGuy or Tom flying that. [2770.62] Tony: That is now on Rokorush. [2772.62] Tony: You can actually fly that, which is pretty cool. [2776.62] Tony: I think quite a lot of people I've been doing it the wrong way round. [2780.62] Tony: I've been flying it the wrong way round. [2783.62] Tony: So start doing it right way, people, please. [2788.62] Jae: We heard a hit from Tony. [2790.62] Jae: The race star director is saying, [2792.62] Jae: fly the right way round. [2794.62] Jae: People have been flying the wrong way. [2796.62] Jae: I think there needs to be more wing racing as well. [2799.62] Jae: That hasn't really taken off. [2801.62] Tony: It hasn't taken off yet. [2802.62] Tony: I think it will. [2804.62] Tony: I think it will be good. [2810.26] Tony: There are rules in the works. [2813.26] Tony: So it will come, but I don't think it's going to happen this year. [2820.21] Clint: I mean, there has been wing racing though, isn't there, for a while. [2824.21] Clint: It's not a new thing. [2826.21] Clint: They have had gates and stuff, haven't they? [2828.21] Tony: Well, I think it's more in America than here. [2831.21] Clint: We've got a guy locally that used to do wing racing. [2835.21] Clint: Wing walking. [2838.21] Clint: Wing walking. [2839.21] Clint: Yeah, that would be pretty cool. [2841.21] Clint: We would have been enough wing and walk when we lost someone else around. [2844.21] Clint: Standing on a wing with FPV, circling yourself. [2847.21] Clint: There you go, Mr. Smith. [2849.21] Clint: There's your next task. [2854.21] Jae: One guess that we're still trying to get on is Tom Smith. [2858.21] Jae: I think next time I'm up north, I'm going to drop past him and kidnap him. [2864.65] Jae: I'll be helping him. [2866.65] Tony: Talking of guests, we had Le Dribbon. [2869.65] Tony: Is he in Ireland yet and is he coming to the UK? [2873.65] Tony: Does anyone know? Have we got any inside stuff? [2876.65] Jae: As far as I know, there was a map that was put on Motor Riot [2879.65] Jae: where they're actually going out to Cornwall and everything, [2881.65] Jae: but I don't think it was accurate and I'm not sure when they actually arrive. [2885.65] Jae: If anyone finds out, don't forget to mention it. [2888.65] Clint: They leave in two days' time and there is an application form on Google documents [2895.65] Clint: that you can fill in with your name, where you're at, your email address. [2899.65] Clint: Do you trust us with your mobile phone number? [2901.65] Clint: Can we crash at your flat? [2903.65] Clint: Any ideas for cool places to fly? [2905.65] Clint: What about interesting things to do? [2907.65] Clint: I.e. paddle boats and romantic floats down the river and future challenges. [2912.65] Clint: So they put an application up about an hour ago. [2916.65] Tony: So we put in an LDO, meet us here. [2920.65] Tony: We can sleep at J's. [2923.65] Jae: Everyone crash your mind. [2925.65] Jae: So come and sleep on your floor. [2927.65] Jae: As long as you bring quad parks or stuff. [2931.65] UNKNOWN: No. [2933.65] Jae: Yeah, it'd be interesting. [2934.65] Jae: I mean, it'd be good to hopefully catch up with them. [2937.65] Jae: We have to sort of try and touch base with them. [2940.65] Tony: It'd be nice. [2941.65] Tony: It'd be nice for our show and good for theirs, I think. [2945.65] Tony: I think Chad would like it. [2948.65] Tony: Now, Le Drib is definitely a part of the team. [2952.65] Jae: Well, it's official, isn't it? [2953.65] Jae: They didn't manage to announce that. [2954.65] Jae: Because the other day I looked on them and didn't actually have them listed [2957.65] Jae: as the virtual right thing. [2959.65] Jae: And I think a lot of people were just seeing him as a special guest, [2961.65] Jae: but he's officially part of that team. [2963.65] Tony: He is a part of that team now, which is all good. [2966.65] Tony: Yeah. [2967.65] Clint: They've updated their photos and everything on the rote right page. [2970.65] Clint: So if you go to rote right, is it rote right dot com? [2973.65] Jae: Yeah, maybe even down at the top of the Facebook page. [2976.65] Clint: Yeah, so on their rote right page now, [2978.65] Clint: there is actually a picture of Le Drib holding his camera. [2983.65] Clint: It evens the numbers out now, so they actually have an even amount of pilots [2986.65] Clint: that makes a nice little rectangle. [2989.65] Clint: Which is really good. [2991.65] Jae: The map is just a squiggle. [2992.65] Jae: I did realize that was the trust. [2996.65] Jae: They go out on a robo out into the channel again and back across. [3001.65] Jae: You know, we're actually only going to do a short show tonight. [3004.65] Jae: Yeah, Tony's drinking. [3007.65] Jae: He is. [3008.65] Tony: He's getting hungry now. [3009.65] Tony: You know when you're drinking and then you start getting hungry. [3012.65] Clint: When you're hungry and then you get really thirsty. [3017.25] Jae: Yeah. [3018.25] Jae: When you get full and you fall asleep. [3020.25] Clint: Yeah, I need to eat food. [3023.25] Jae: It's still veggie, by the way. [3026.98] Jae: I've heard that he is. [3028.98] Jae: I've heard that another Team V candidate. [3032.98] Jae: Who's that? [3033.98] Jae: Neil. [3034.98] Jae: I don't think he's come back to eating meat any time today. [3036.98] Jae: I hope he's not. [3038.98] Jae: Bye, Chris. [3039.98] Jae: Thanks for tuning in, Chris. [3041.98] Jae: Always a pleasure. [3044.98] Jae: You around? [3045.98] Jae: You know when you start speaking what you're typing. [3049.98] Jae: I was in touch with Metal Danny, [3052.98] Jae: who's off to China to do some racing next week. [3056.98] Jae: And I did say we'd like to get in the show, [3058.98] Jae: so we might have Metal Danny on soon. [3062.98] Jae: Then it might be his last race. [3064.98] Jae: And I did ask, why? [3065.98] Jae: And he said, because there's too many young kids coming into it. [3069.98] Jae: So that'd be interesting to hear how he gets on with it. [3072.98] Tony: All right, Danny. [3073.98] Tony: I met him when he come over to the UK Drone Show, [3078.98] Tony: not this year, but the year before. [3083.98] Tony: Can you believe, like, I'm moaned [3085.98] Tony: because all of the FPV races this year are all up north [3090.98] Tony: and I can't be bothered to go there. [3092.98] Tony: So I haven't gone to any FPV stuff this year, [3095.98] Tony: any proper races, because they're too far away, [3098.98] Tony: four and a half hours or whatever. [3100.98] Tony: And Metal Danny drove from Holland in his transit van [3104.98] Tony: down through France, across the channel, [3107.98] Tony: met me in Crawley, and I set him up a bed and breakfast [3110.98] Tony: so I couldn't let him stay at my house. [3112.98] Tony: I can't remember why. [3113.98] Tony: Dogs or something. [3114.98] Tony: Something was happening. [3117.98] Tony: I met him in Frankie and Benny's [3119.98] Tony: and took him to his bed and breakfast [3121.98] Tony: and then we traveled all the way up to Birmingham [3124.98] Tony: the next day. [3125.98] Tony: So he's a guy who will put miles on the clock to race. [3131.98] Tony: I really quite like Metal Danny. [3133.98] Tony: He's nice. [3134.98] Jae: And one of the people that has had, you know, [3137.98] Jae: like the fame in the lift off [3138.98] Jae: when you've got the Metal Danny edition [3139.98] Jae: is one of the quads in there. [3141.98] Jae: He's always been there in the start as it starts to take off. [3146.98] Tony: He has. [3147.98] Tony: He's always been there. [3148.98] Tony: And what I liked about him is that he always wanted [3151.98] Tony: to run a GoPro on his camera for, on his quad [3155.98] Tony: because he wanted the nice footage all the time. [3159.98] Tony: Yeah. [3160.98] Tony: He knows it slows him down, but he just... [3165.98] Jae: I think there's one thing where they all have, [3167.98] Jae: you know, HD recording on the front. [3169.98] Jae: If everybody does it, and I think even BVFPVRA, [3173.98] Jae: FVVRA, FVFPVRA, FVFPVRA. [3176.98] Jae: I've always said that perhaps everyone should just [3178.98] Jae: flow with HD. [3179.98] Tony: Well, we've got the split now. [3181.98] Tony: So we'll be able to be lighter and HD. [3184.98] Tony: So I think that's going to make an awesome... [3189.98] Tony: It's just going to, it's going to help a lot. [3192.98] Tony: Oh, the drip says hello everybody, by the way. [3195.98] Jae: It's my opportunity. [3197.98] Jae: Hey, what's up? [3198.98] Jae: Yeah. [3199.98] Jae: The split I think is amazing, [3200.98] Jae: seeing Oscar Lang's GoPro mod, [3203.98] Jae: and everyone's doing the GoPro lens mod on it now, [3206.98] Jae: just so it's not quite as wide field of view. [3208.98] Jae: So you don't see the edges of the frame [3210.98] Jae: and as much prop in there. [3212.98] Jae: It's actually looking very, very, very appealing. [3215.98] Jae: But like someone said, [3217.98] Jae: it's only going to be on your micro builds [3219.98] Jae: because otherwise you're going to buy a split [3221.98] Jae: for every quad. [3223.98] Jae: Yeah. [3224.98] Jae: So... [3225.98] Jae: Well, yeah, but everyone will. [3227.98] Jae: But it would be good if they brought out the board [3230.98] Jae: where you can just have the HD recording aspect [3232.98] Jae: and just hook it up to your TV camera. [3235.98] Jae: There's no reason why you can't do that. [3237.98] Clint: Do they have a problem yet? [3239.98] Clint: Do we have an idea of how much they're going to be? [3241.98] Tony: Or is that not being announced yet? [3243.98] Clint: It's 60 quid in it or something. [3244.98] Clint: Hey, the drip! [3245.98] Clint: That's not too bad, is it really? [3247.98] Jae: It's a lens nearby. [3248.98] Jae: I'll tell you what. [3249.98] Jae: Lens liquor. [3250.98] Jae: Hold on, hold on. [3251.98] Jae: Just because you are. [3252.98] Jae: So we'll confirm. [3253.98] Jae: I've got my phone here. [3258.98] Jae: Well, I'm Jay. [3259.98] Jae: Well, I haven't got one on it next to me, so... [3262.98] Jae: Yeah. [3263.98] Jae: Yeah. [3265.98] Tony: Kenny, come on! [3266.98] Tony: Kenny, can we get him on? [3268.98] Tony: Kenny, can he come on and tell us anything? [3271.98] Tony: The drip, can you come on quickly and tell us anything? [3274.98] Tony: We've got three minutes left. [3275.98] Jae: We've got three minutes left of the show, [3276.98] Jae: but he said yes. [3278.98] Jae: We could make it three and a half. [3280.98] Jae: And yes, we're still looking maybe. [3284.98] Jae: Maybe if he's in the UK, [3286.98] Jae: he'll come up and get a live drip and steal show next week. [3290.98] Tony: We could. [3291.98] Tony: That would be good. [3292.98] Tony: I would take a day off for that. [3296.98] Jae: He's driving at the moment. [3297.98] Jae: Obviously, you're not typing on your phone and driving at the same time, [3301.98] Jae: are you? [3302.98] Tony: I think, in America, you can do that on a mobile phone. [3305.98] Tony: It doesn't matter. [3307.98] Clint: Really? [3309.98] Jae: Yeah. [3310.98] Jae: Vincent, Tony, have you got any lenses to lick? [3312.98] Jae: Hashtag? [3313.98] Jae: No, you've got lenses to lick. [3315.98] Jae: I've got one. [3316.98] Tony: A few, about three videos back on my YouTube. [3326.98] Jae: You know, it has started to trend. [3331.41] Jae: When we don't have a guest on, we don't have anyone to lick a lens. [3333.41] Jae: So maybe we have to have an appointed thing I've done this week [3336.41] Jae: if we don't have a guest on to lick a lens. [3339.41] Tony: Crashes. [3340.41] Tony: Little drip, crashes. [3341.41] Clint: No! [3345.41] Tony: Stop texting and driving. [3349.41] Tony: We're looking forward to hooking up with you, Drew, next week, hopefully. [3353.41] Jae: It's so exciting to have people of fame and fortune coming across to the UK. [3358.88] Jae: It'd be great. [3359.88] Jae: More Little Island. [3361.88] Tony: Fame and fortune. [3363.88] Tony: Can we do a hashtag lenslicker and see if we can get, like, Instagram people? [3368.88] Jae: You can give us a hashtag, Tony. [3370.88] Jae: You just put a hash in front of your phrase and post it sometimes. [3372.88] Jae: Let's do it, then. [3373.88] Jae: Hashtag. [3375.88] Tony: Yeah, yeah. [3376.88] Jae: You can do it on Facebook, Twitter, even, obviously. [3379.88] Tony: Let's do it. [3380.88] Tony: Let's get hashtag lenslicker trending. [3384.88] Tony: Come on. [3385.88] Tony: Everyone, do it. [3386.88] Clint: We want to see everybody on the LDO wall, on the LDO Facebook wall, [3390.88] Clint: we want to see pictures of you licking your lenses. [3392.88] Clint: Actually, yeah. [3394.88] Clint: I'm going to do it. [3395.88] Clint: And when it seems I've finished this, I'm going to do lenslicker. [3398.88] Clint: And then, at some point, we should do a prize draw for the person that licks the most dirty lens. [3404.88] Jae: We actually want all the people that listen in to be healthy not plagued by bugs and disease. [3409.88] Jae: So really, don't lick the most dirty lenslicker too. [3414.88] Clint: I just thought the most perfect one was when, was that when Cleger had that accident at Mini Airshow [3420.88] Clint: with the thing in front of his legs. [3423.88] Jae: Was that with a cow pat? [3425.88] Jae: I know. [3426.88] Jae: It's a sheep dropping, wasn't it? [3427.88] Jae: But it looked like a massive moon rock that was in front of it. [3430.88] Clint: It could build up the whole screen and it was just a little drop. [3433.88] Jae: It's like the five second rule, though, isn't it? [3435.88] Jae: If your food lens... [3436.88] Clint: If you call your five seconds, you can still lick the lens. [3442.88] Clint: Yeah. Where is this going? [3444.88] Tony: Let's see if we can get it trending. [3446.88] Tony: I want to go on Instagram and look at lenslicker and there'd just be hundreds of people doing it. [3452.88] Jae: Well, you need the same hashtag for everyone to use. [3455.88] Jae: So you kind of have to choose one, lenslicker or camera. [3458.88] Jae: Yeah, lenslicker. [3459.88] Tony: That's what it's hashtag lenslicker. [3461.88] Tony: Everyone use it, please. [3465.88] Jae: Oh, excellent. [3471.19] Jae: What other news have we got then? [3473.19] Jae: I think we're up to our hour now. [3475.19] Jae: Wow. [3476.19] Clint: Yeah. [3477.19] Clint: I want to go and enjoy the last of the nine o'clock sun. [3480.19] Clint: It's still bright outside. [3482.19] Clint: It is still bright outside. [3483.19] Clint: I could go five quarters right now. [3486.19] Tony: It's actually no wind whatsoever. [3489.19] Tony: So I might get my Dan up to call out and have a little fly. [3495.19] Jae: We have team lenslickers. [3500.19] Jae: Excellent. [3501.19] Jae: All tomorrow in the next few months now, we need to get to the right one. [3505.19] Tony: Are there any confusing things that we do in team lenslicker or lenslicker? [3509.19] Jae: No, just lenslicker. Just lenslicker. [3511.19] Jae: It's kind of like a play on the window licking idea. [3515.19] Jae: It's not because obviously we're not stupid. [3520.19] Jae: I'm coming. [3522.19] Jae: It's not time. [3523.19] Jae: Yeah, Stu, mate. [3525.19] Jae: Jesus. [3526.19] Jae: Jesus, buddy. [3528.19] Jae: And has anyone contacted Stu from UAV Futures yet? [3531.19] Jae: I came so close last night to go, hey, come on, nice show. [3535.19] Tony: I've asked Paul a couple of times and he has texted him, but that was when he was having his baby. [3542.19] Tony: So that's all done now. [3544.19] Tony: So if we can get in hold of Paul again, I might see if I can text message Paul and see if we can ask him again. [3554.19] Jae: Like I said, we've got Dan and Mel Danny hopefully coming up in the start of July. [3559.19] Jae: If anyone else that you'd like to see on the show that we can contact and pass through until they come on, [3563.19] Jae: AKA Tom Smith, we have tried to consummate. [3565.19] Jae: I'm just going to get nothing. [3567.19] Jae: Just drop us a note on the comments below. [3570.19] Jae: If you haven't subscribed, make sure you find out from the show. [3573.19] Jae: If you just do so now, click the bell to always get notified when we get live. [3577.19] Jae: Thank you very much. [3580.54] Jae: Well, I say Tony needs some food, I need a drink, and Clinton needs to fly. [3590.54] Clint: I need to fly, I do. [3593.54] Clint: I was going to fly my little QX95 in the garden before it gets too dark, so... [3598.54] Jae: Yeah, apparently it was needed to happen. [3601.54] Tony: It's only got about 45 minutes, I reckon. [3604.54] Clint: It's crazy, isn't it? 9 o'clock and it's still bright up there. [3607.54] Tony: We were out on the top of Hidden Valley Hill last night, and it didn't get dark till 10.30. [3614.54] Clint: It's crazy, absolutely crazy. [3617.54] Clint: And I just did my shrink wrap on the floor as well, so I've got to fucking organize it now. [3623.54] Jae: Yeah, I need to get some things organized, and bears and stuff organized, [3627.54] Jae: and a little travel pack organized. [3631.54] Tony: Where are you going? [3637.65] Jae: No, I'm hoping to get away and go fly overseas. [3644.65] Jae: I want to just fly around the world. [3647.65] Jae: We all want to do that. [3649.65] Jae: No, the truth is, actually, all my bits, all my quad bits over there since winter, [3654.65] Jae: have been so disheveled and so disorganized. [3657.65] Jae: I need to organize everything, so I've got a pack for when I... [3660.65] Jae: If I ever go north or south or anywhere, so I know I've got everything that I need to do. [3665.65] Jae: And Clegga is one of the experts in it, and he's not in the chat today, [3669.65] Jae: but Clegga is... [3672.65] Jae: And he's got parts. He's always got it. [3676.65] Jae: Well, let's do it, baby. [3679.65] Clint: Well, we've already got people on Facebook, hashtag Lenslicker. [3684.65] Clint: Danny Taylor, hashtag Lenslicker. [3689.65] Tony: Brilliant. Pushed little pictures. [3692.65] Tony: Let's get it going. I'm going to go and do it in a minute. [3696.65] Jae: Yeah, all right, guys. Well, thanks again for tuning in. [3699.65] Jae: We are going to call this a night now. [3703.65] Jae: Anything else you guys want to say before we finish it up? [3706.65] Clint: Enjoy the time, enjoy the weather, and try not to crash too hard. [3710.65] Clint: Don't forget to lick your lenses, hashtag Lenslicker. [3713.65] Jae: Keep them clean. [3716.65] Jae: Well, thanks for setting your opportunity in once again for Let's Drone Out. [3719.65] Jae: Where we'll be, what we'll do next week. [3721.65] Jae: We don't really know, because we don't even know what we'll do from day to day. [3723.65] Jae: We don't even know what we'll do till the start of each of these shows, but it's always fun. [3726.65] Jae: Thanks for tuning in. You guys make it awesome, because we wouldn't do it if there was no one tuning in. [3730.65] Jae: Yeah, thanks, guys, for tuning in. It's great. [3732.65] Jae: Awesome, yeah. [3734.65] Clint: And we'll see you all next week. Peace. [3737.65] Clint: See you next week.
