The best, well the only UK FPV podcast [6.8] Jack: sponsored by the lovely people from our Patreon. Patreon.com forward slash Let's Drone Out. [12.88] Jack: In particular we'd like to thank these guys. Art Faulkner. Mikey Dredd. Wacky Wes. David Powell. [24.24] Jack: Thank you guys. You're the best. We can edit our podcast. Thank you. [30.56] Frank: Good evening and welcome to Let's Drone Out. Episode 251. This week there are only four of us. [68.29] Frank: There is me. There is Curry. Hello. There is Turdie. Bonjour. And there is Jack. [79.81] Frank: Because NJ has abandoned us because he's got more important things to do. And Andy has been on a [87.89] Frank: editing streak for the past 40 hours and is no longer functioning. But Bill, be sure to see some [96.61] Frank: more videos in his feed I'm sure at some point soon. I think Tony's got some videos queued up [105.01] Tony: to go out as well, right? I'm sponsored by Magic Rock today. Not ready Eddie this time. [111.97] Curry: The best drink. Despite our very best efforts of bigging out ready Eddie [119.17] Curry: towards best battery, we did not receive any ready Eddie batteries in any state before. [125.49] Curry: Nor any emails from ready Eddie. Nothing. Oh well. Yeah, I've been sitting on a video for [135.81] Tony: it's probably near on a year now. So I'm probably going to upload it Sunday evening. [141.41] Tony: When everyone's at home. It's not this stuff I've done before. You can tell. I've uploaded a teaser [150.93] Tony: video this afternoon. But I've been editing all day because it's been waning. So no flying [159.73] Jack: because it's been whining. And that is a pain like that. Sorry wine. Almost safe to talk. [170.24] Jack: Hello, how are you? Oh, he's here. Yes, I am here. The guys talking about my socks and the chat, [179.44] Jack: which is always good. Did any of you guys watch the drone his life stream? I flicks on for a bit [188.64] Tony: and then I had to do stuff. So I didn't watch all the apparently someone special come on off as [195.84] Jack: well as Mr. Seal. Yeah, I've heard rumors of sharpness. Yes, literally had God on the show. [205.92] Curry: I know we get our hosts to show up. [211.36] Jack: Like the last time I heard off him was when we said he was God and I emailed it to him and [217.84] Jack: he messaged he emailed me back. And that was that was a while ago. But I don't know, man, I could [225.52] Jack: never he's not the last the last person, you know, like was there was on my old hit list. [234.56] Jack: We got someone very important. And we're going to talk about some drone stuff. Apparently, [239.76] Jack: I wouldn't say important. Good evening, guys. How you doing? [242.96] Jack: I'd like to point out what he made me do. [248.56] Tony: I don't think he made you do. I thought you were balls and was going insane. [253.04] Jack: He's whipping me. He was like, yeah, shot color. That looks nice, Jack. What is it? [260.88] Jack: Look at all sordery bullies. Is that that do anything for you, Tony? I know those red nuts. [268.4] Jack: It's such your nipples. [275.28] Lee: Which is true. [277.04] Lee: There was no Catholic prods involved. I just Jack was on the chat and he was saying half [282.24] Lee: make building something. So I said, oh, you got a spare five inch frame. And I said, yeah, [289.6] Lee: I have. And I've got so sent in the stuff. And bless him. He's been sending me pictures. [294.88] Lee: I'm built of quadrages. I'm kind of living vicariously through his videos and images. [299.92] Lee: So thank you, Jack, for building that. So it seems to be going all right, don't it? [304.08] Jack: Yeah, I've really missed it. I just wish I had all the parts. [309.2] Jack: I need to have a bit of a dig around. But yeah, it was it was nice to put something together and [315.36] Jack: fiddle around with it and get the multimeter out and try not to blow it up. [320.8] Tony: It was just it was probably just nice you talking to your ex-mate again. [326.16] Jack: I know. Yeah. Now, but I'm trying to prove that I'm useful. [331.36] Jack: John winning back. Yeah, but obviously no one's as useful as Frank. Frank just has to flick his [338.32] Jack: air about the place a bit and it's all I know. Running up a hip mountain, dipping it in a [345.28] Jack: waterfall. So yeah, it was really good fun. I mean, I should have done a little stream. [355.28] Jack: The thing is doing that is it takes it takes so much longer. It takes like three times as [362.48] Jack: long to do anything. And like whenever I seem to do them, I always like run into problems. [368.24] Jack: So I do feel a bit jinxed by them. [370.96] Lee: The problems aren't a bad thing, though, are they, Jack? Because the thing is, if you bump into them [376.8] Lee: and you and you kind of explain how to fix it, you know, there's hundreds of other guys and girls [381.2] Lee: in exactly the same boat are going to hit it. Yeah. But now it's I must admit, it's been it's been [387.28] Lee: a fun one. I'm just looking at everyone's hair on the stream, just seeing how everyone's coping [391.68] Lee: with lockdown. Obviously, Frank, you've just kind of just you've just gone full hair for it. [397.92] Lee: Yeah, you're as a me. I know. I haven't seen you with really long hair like that before. [404.0] Lee: That's impressive. So what's that about three months? Yeah. [412.06] Frank: Looking good. It was I was literally going to get my hair cut as lockdown started. [420.3] Frank: That was when I was going to go. So [422.7] Lee: fantastic. You're looking very, very [432.06] Curry: it's like the reverse come over instead of trying to get a bald person to bring all their hair [435.66] Curry: forward or my hair is sort of pushed back. It's it's really long, actually. My wife keeps offering [440.3] Curry: to cut it. And I say no, because I don't want my hair cut like that. So I just wait out. It is [448.7] Curry: I know your lovely wife's been cutting your hair for you. And it looks the same. So she's obviously [452.38] Lee: doing a good job there. I must admit that the first time she did it, she took like the very [457.1] Lee: smallest amount off. And she was being very careful. And then then about the fourth time [462.86] Lee: she did it, she just was like, I'm going for it. And I did say, well, if it goes really bad, [467.66] Lee: I'll just do a number two for the whole thing and just wear a hat for the videos. It'll be fine. [472.06] Lee: But actually, yes, I could save a fortune when this is all over. [475.98] Lee: How are you doing, Tony? You're looking good, brother. Thank you. [479.1] Tony: Good. Thank you very much. I obviously cut my own hair. [485.66] Tony: It's been this short since I was 21. [489.26] Jack: Do you fancy flying this when I'm done? [492.46] Jack: Me? Yeah, I have a go. [493.58] Jack: Yeah. You know, like when we were friends and we used to like hang out and do stuff. [497.98] Jack: That was a long time ago. [499.98] Jack: Yeah, I know. I'm thinking about it. [502.14] Tony: You've lost quite a lot of friends lately. [504.54] Curry: What's the missing jacket? It looks fairly complete from where I'm sitting, [507.58] Curry: but I can't see the whole back. [509.98] Curry: BTX. [511.26] Jack: Yeah, Tony's on it. [513.9] Jack: What do you mean, lost a lot of friends? [516.22] Frank: Time to get your line of sight skills up, then. [519.82] Frank: Yeah. [526.62] Lee: Your views hasn't washed everyone away. [529.82] Lee: I know. [530.3] Tony: I definitely can't fly it, will you? [531.9] Tony: Right, we can put the new beaterfly at 4.20 on, which I've heard. [535.9] Tony: I'm hearing some good stuff about it at the moment. [538.54] Jack: It looks very, very mad. [540.38] Jack: It had 4.1 on there. [543.34] Jack: So it was pretty up to date. [545.26] Jack: And Type C connector. [549.1] Tony: Zero just donated. [550.7] Tony: Thank you very much, Zero. [551.82] Tony: Someone light something. [554.22] Tony: Please. [554.94] Tony: Jack, can you light something? [557.82] Tony: Sorry to interrupt everyone. [559.26] Tony: We have to do this every time someone donates. [561.34] Tony: It's very kind of you. [562.3] Tony: Thank you, Zero. [563.18] Tony: You get a shout out. [564.14] Tony: Cheers, bro. [568.7] Lee: It is going to go horribly wrong one day. [570.7] Frank: I was going to say, [571.58] Frank: you're literally going to hatch fire, isn't he? [573.58] Lee: Yeah. [573.98] Frank: A haircut with fire. [580.94] Lee: Jack's desperately trying to come up with new things to do. [583.82] Tony: If you're listening to the podcast, Jack is at the moment licking a firework [590.54] Tony: and has burned his tongue. [595.1] Jack: Thank you. [595.66] Jack: That was really hot. [596.7] Jack: I burnt the end of my tongue. [599.34] Lee: Well, you had just licked a live firework, Jack. [602.06] Lee: You can't tell me that was a surprise. [604.54] Jack: No, it was a little bit. [608.86] Jack: Oh, sorry, carry on. [610.22] Lee: Sorry, I was just going to say, [610.94] Lee: speaking of surprises, Andrew slash Frank, [613.82] Lee: I believe, well, it was your birthday at the weekend. [616.38] Lee: So again, happy belated birthday wishes for that brother. [619.74] Tony: I'll do 23, 24. [624.38] Frank: It's the last year of my 20s. [629.9] Lee: Don't worry about that. [630.86] Lee: You know what? [631.42] Lee: The 30s and 40s are actually fab as well, brother. [633.82] Lee: Don't let anyone feel yet. [635.5] Lee: I've got to say that I've been told. [637.74] Lee: But I believe you tried to go out flying [640.14] Lee: and it didn't quite work out for you. [641.9] Lee: You went for a kind of a birthday fly. [643.42] Lee: What was all that about? [645.26] Frank: Yeah, so on Monday, I took a day off. [648.38] Frank: And went to my local flying field, [652.46] Frank: which is only two and a half hours walk away. [657.02] Lee: Okay, so a quick round the corner. [660.62] Frank: Yeah, exactly. [662.62] Frank: So I dusted everything with four hands. [668.94] Frank: And everything was working fine. [671.66] Frank: And then got to the field. [673.1] Frank: And this was the I was trying it last week. [675.9] Frank: The bicopter wing combination thing [679.82] Frank: with thrust spectring on the twin motors on the back wing. [683.82] Lee: Yeah, that was really good. [685.1] Frank: And the plan was to just fly out as a wing [690.14] Frank: using the elevons to get up to a good few mistakes high. [695.98] Frank: Switch over to thrust spectring [698.22] Frank: and see how it kind of reacted [700.62] Frank: and make sure that whole system actually worked [703.58] Frank: before kind of setting up a flight controller [708.14] Frank: or doing anything else with it. [709.66] Frank: Just make sure, does it actually have any control [714.94] Frank: in all the axes? [716.46] Frank: Is it relatively stable? [717.66] Frank: Is there too much slop in the system? [720.94] Frank: Does it just wobble about [722.54] Frank: and give it loads of problems [724.78] Frank: just from the mechanism or that kind of stuff? [729.9] Frank: Can it land without smashing itself to pieces? [732.3] Frank: All those kinds of things. [734.38] Frank: Just kind of minimum level of just the receiver. [738.94] Frank: Send it up as a wing, fly it, done. [742.3] Frank: Got there, plugged in the battery, set it all up. [746.14] Frank: Got it going. [752.86] Lee: The battery police are about to kick some of these doors out. [755.98] Frank: Yeah, got a Fraser to chuck it off [763.66] Frank: so that we're a bit dubious about how much, [769.02] Frank: how well this is going to fly [770.62] Frank: because it is quite heavy. [773.34] Frank: So I'll just keep both hands on the sticks [776.22] Frank: just because we don't know what they're going to do. [778.54] Frank: Got Fraser to give it a chuck, [781.1] Frank: but it just spiraled out. [784.14] Frank: Oh, that's a bit weird. [786.46] Frank: I'll try that again. [788.54] Frank: This spiral is the same way. [789.9] Frank: Oh, it's weird. [790.86] Frank: And then I put it down [795.1] Frank: and just full throttled it [797.1] Frank: and didn't touch anything else. [799.5] Frank: And then the left-hand motor died [801.9] Frank: after fractions of a minute. [806.14] Lee: That was the video you sent me, wasn't it? [807.82] Lee: It was indeed. [809.26] Lee: Yeah, okay. [810.14] Lee: So what's happening with that motor? [811.34] Lee: Is it just de-syncing or is it BSC? [815.98] Frank: I haven't quite got to the bottom of it yet, [818.46] Frank: but I do have another two of those ESEs [821.02] Frank: and another two of those motors [822.62] Frank: because I was ripping it off an old quad. [824.62] Frank: So I got four of each. [827.42] Frank: So I will be able to work it out at some point. [829.74] Frank: But for now, it's still sat on the ground [833.98] Frank: where I dumped it on Monday evening. [838.46] Lee: Can we have a regular weekly update [840.62] Lee: on how that builds going, mate? [842.3] Lee: Because I'm actually really interested in that [844.22] Lee: because you're doing something really wacky, [847.18] Lee: which I love the idea of. [850.22] Frank: I mean, weekly might be pushing it. [851.9] Frank: I mean, considering that I started, [854.38] Frank: I've got this, [855.98] Frank: because I was talking to David Vinstahl about it [859.34] Frank: when I first was thinking about it [860.94] Frank: because I know, you know, he's got the... [863.18] Frank: Another friend he nicked! [865.1] Tony: ...mycopter. [865.98] Frank: Mycopter. [869.74] Frank: He actually gave me the files [872.46] Frank: for his tilt mechanism [876.46] Frank: back before he'd opened up [878.38] Frank: all the files on his website [879.5] Frank: so before he shut his shop down. [880.7] Frank: So that's kind of how long [882.78] Frank: this has been simmering away for. [887.74] Frank: Is when Ask the Explorer was still going. [891.34] Tony: It's full of world-wet mental. [894.3] Frank: Yeah, I'll far be on then. [897.74] Frank: So yeah, I'll probably get around [901.42] Frank: to having another look at it this weekend [903.1] Frank: and pulling all the heat shrink off [905.26] Frank: and actually seeing what's going on. [907.74] Frank: I suspect because it was on the ET160 [911.34] Frank: so the motor wires are really short. [914.38] Frank: So there's these kind of solder joints [918.22] Frank: where I've extended the wires [920.38] Frank: that are where the tilt mechanism [923.1] Frank: is moving the motor. [924.94] Frank: I suspect that probably [927.42] Frank: over the course of either [928.54] Frank: just in the testing [929.66] Frank: and wheeling them back and forth [931.58] Frank: or as I was walking with it [935.1] Frank: and having it on my backpack, [936.7] Frank: I suspect it's probably fatigue cracks. [940.14] Lee: What would one or more... [943.18] Lee: The way it's stopping [943.98] Lee: doesn't look like one [944.94] Lee: because all of the people [946.94] Lee: listening to the podcast [947.82] Lee: will know that if you have one [949.18] Lee: of the three phases of a motor [950.7] Lee: give up, you tend to just get [952.3] Lee: stuttering. [953.58] Lee: The motor's just stopping cold, [955.58] Lee: isn't it? [956.06] Lee: It's definitely worthwhile checking. [958.7] Lee: I'm just fascinated to see you fly this thing [961.58] Lee: because I would love to build one [963.66] Lee: once you've figured it all out. [965.9] Frank: Yeah, oh, absolutely. [970.38] Frank: I also showed you recently [972.7] Frank: some screenshots or pictures of... [975.5] Frank: I was scanning the nose [977.58] Frank: of the mini AR wing [979.5] Frank: because I was twiddling my thumbs [982.94] Frank: in the office [983.66] Frank: and we've got some 3D scanning equipment [985.5] Frank: and I had to go just... [988.94] Frank: There's a thing that I might want [990.78] Frank: at some point. [993.5] Frank: I've stuck up on Thingiverse [995.58] Frank: so you can go Thingiverse, [997.5] Frank: Frank's Roodle [998.62] Frank: or just probably search [999.9] Frank: mini AR wing nose. [1001.82] Frank: I've put up... [1003.74] Frank: I haven't spent time tidying it up [1007.18] Frank: but I just kind of put the scan up [1009.18] Frank: and a couple are very quick. [1011.58] Frank: Clicking a couple of buttons, [1012.86] Frank: what can I do with this [1013.82] Frank: to make this something [1014.62] Frank: that I might want to print? [1016.7] Frank: So if anyone wanted to play around [1021.1] Frank: with a scan of the nose [1024.22] Frank: of the mini AR wing, [1026.14] Frank: then that should be up [1027.42] Frank: on Thingiverse somewhere. [1028.06] Frank: We've got Jack's face still on there. [1031.42] Frank: I haven't put Jack's face [1032.86] Frank: up on Thingiverse, no. [1037.26] Frank: He may have heard of me. [1038.7] Curry: We want a new scan of Jack's head [1040.46] Curry: so it looks more like Jack [1041.58] Curry: so I could abuse it in my game. [1046.14] Lee: Got some good questions [1047.34] Lee: on the comments actually. [1049.5] Lee: One was from MrShady saying [1053.34] Lee: the battle system that was used [1056.46] Lee: in the Channel 4 [1058.3] Lee: Battle of Britain stuff. [1059.26] Lee: Was that ever released? [1060.3] Lee: Did you ever hear anything [1061.42] Lee: more about that, Frank? [1063.1] Frank: So there is a guy... [1066.7] Frank: somewhere who has released [1069.66] Frank: the FPV combat system. [1073.42] Frank: It's been a long while [1074.38] Frank: since I heard anything about it, [1075.58] Frank: but at least there have been [1077.18] Frank: some pre-production ones [1079.26] Frank: made and sold. [1083.18] Lee: So for those of you [1083.98] Lee: that don't know, [1084.62] Lee: is it worthwhile talking [1085.58] Lee: about what it is actually [1087.18] Lee: in case, no, because not [1089.74] Lee: a lot of people saw [1090.54] Lee: the Battle of Britain stuff, I think. [1093.18] Frank: Hmm, so it's a little kind [1096.38] Frank: of OSD board with a signal input, [1103.98] Frank: so a PWM input, [1105.9] Frank: and a couple of infrared LEDs [1111.34] Frank: and infrared receivers. [1115.1] Frank: And so you fly around, [1117.58] Frank: you've got some cross tears [1118.78] Frank: in your FPV feed [1120.3] Frank: and then you find someone else [1123.02] Frank: that's flying with another one [1123.98] Frank: of these systems [1124.94] Frank: and then you hit your trigger [1126.38] Frank: on your radio, [1127.34] Frank: that's the PWM signal [1128.62] Frank: that goes into it. [1129.42] Frank: It starts flashing out [1130.54] Frank: your code over the infrared LEDs [1133.82] Frank: and the person who's in [1135.5] Frank: your cross hairs, [1136.86] Frank: their infrared receivers [1138.78] Frank: pick up that code [1139.9] Frank: and then go, [1140.7] Frank: ah, I've been hit. [1142.14] Frank: And then you lose life [1143.74] Frank: and eventually when you lose [1148.7] Frank: all your health points, [1149.74] Frank: then you end up with some issues [1153.1] Frank: of either it does something [1154.78] Frank: to your throttle [1156.22] Frank: or something else as well [1157.1] Frank: that you can do. [1159.5] Lee: But yeah, so that is... [1161.26] Lee: We had this stuff rigged up [1163.1] Lee: for that thing. [1163.82] Lee: I mean, you were doing it [1164.78] Lee: with smoke bombs underneath. [1166.94] Lee: It's basically an infrared gun system [1169.02] Lee: for air-to-air combat [1170.46] Lee: is what it is, [1171.1] Lee: and it's kind of a little [1171.82] Lee: self-contained thing. [1172.94] Lee: But Frank was lashing up [1175.42] Lee: in the middle of fields, [1177.66] Lee: kind of stripping wire [1178.54] Lee: with his teeth. [1180.22] Lee: I kid you not putting smoke bombs [1182.7] Lee: underneath planes [1183.5] Lee: and when the plane was hit, [1185.18] Lee: the smoke bomb would go off. [1186.46] Lee: And it looked amazing. [1187.66] Lee: It was absolutely fantastic. [1189.18] Lee: But it's just that was two years ago. [1190.86] Lee: And I'm surprised that it hasn't [1192.94] Lee: come out as a thing [1195.58] Lee: because I was actually flying [1198.62] Lee: Monday this week. [1199.58] Lee: I was doing some chase footage [1200.94] Lee: with my friend. [1202.62] Lee: And again, it was one of those situations [1204.46] Lee: where I would love for us to have, [1206.54] Lee: you know, to be able to actually [1207.66] Lee: do virtual dog fighting like this [1209.42] Lee: with real RC, well, wings, as it was. [1212.62] Lee: So I'm just a bit gutted [1213.82] Lee: that you still can't buy it. [1214.86] Lee: So who knows? [1216.94] Frank: I've just posted a link [1219.02] Frank: to another YouTube channel [1222.62] Frank: of the guys who are actually [1223.9] Frank: building this PCB. [1226.86] Tony: Have you flown the new [1230.14] Tony: Beta Flight 420 at 4.20, [1232.7] Tony: whatever it is? [1233.98] Lee: No, not yet. I'm planning to. [1235.58] Lee: It looks really good. [1237.02] Lee: Everything I've heard about it. [1238.14] Lee: It says it's fab. [1239.66] Tony: I know I keep looking and thinking, [1241.58] Tony: do I put one of my quads on it? [1243.74] Tony: It's got the freestyle bit I like on it. [1249.58] Tony: I think it what is it called? [1251.26] Tony: What did they call it? [1252.38] Tony: The mid-frottle idol, is it? [1257.02] Tony: Have you heard about that? [1258.62] Tony: Something like that. [1259.66] Tony: Yeah. [1259.98] Tony: More hang time, I think, [1261.5] Tony: when you're freestyling. [1263.1] Tony: Mid-frottle or it puts you, [1265.34] Tony: obviously puts your motors [1266.62] Tony: down to a really solid speed [1268.06] Tony: at mid-frottle, obviously. [1269.82] Lee: Yeah. [1270.54] Lee: I mean, the challenge is, [1272.06] Lee: Tony, though, isn't it? [1272.86] Lee: Is that you want to put it [1275.26] Lee: on a half-decent frame [1276.38] Lee: in order to assess it properly, [1277.9] Lee: but you don't want to risk [1279.82] Lee: one of your half-decent builds [1281.9] Lee: in case something goes horrible [1283.66] Lee: and you end up with it smashed to pieces. [1285.66] Lee: It's almost like you want to [1287.66] Lee: keep a quad for testing. [1291.26] Lee: But the problem is that [1292.3] Lee: those quads that I always have, [1293.82] Lee: I always end up upgrading them [1295.5] Lee: or I'll get a flight controller [1296.62] Lee: and I'll think, oh, I know, [1298.22] Lee: I'll put it in here [1299.1] Lee: and I end up making a nice one again. [1301.34] Lee: So how do you guys handle that, [1303.58] Lee: Curry? [1303.9] Lee: I mean, are you one of those people [1306.38] Lee: that does a lot of the [1307.1] Lee: beta flight stuff as it comes out? [1308.78] Lee: Or are you like me [1309.58] Lee: that tends to wait until [1310.62] Lee: it's out in the weeds? [1312.78] Curry: No, I'm generally in the sort of [1315.34] Curry: camp of if it's not then [1317.74] Curry: I don't want to upgrade it. [1318.78] Curry: Because when I've got something [1319.74] Curry: flying really nice [1320.86] Curry: and something comes along [1321.9] Curry: and it's new and shiny, [1323.26] Curry: as tempting as it is to sort of [1324.94] Curry: bring a new thing along [1325.98] Curry: and let's try it out. [1327.18] Curry: I'm scared of like losing [1329.02] Curry: what I had there [1329.58] Curry: because if it does fly really nicely, [1331.18] Curry: unless there's a specific feature [1332.62] Curry: I'm after, [1333.74] Curry: I don't usually go for it. [1334.7] Curry: So the only reason I've been flying [1336.46] Curry: some 4.1 stuff lately [1338.7] Curry: is that I've had quads [1339.66] Curry: that have come in before. [1341.58] Curry: It's been like, [1342.78] Curry: oh, what's this VTX table? [1344.62] Curry: I need to fill this in and that. [1346.78] Curry: So I haven't really looked at 4.2 [1348.7] Curry: to be quite honest. [1350.62] Curry: Again, I've got the same thing. [1352.54] Curry: My nice quads on the wall [1353.58] Curry: behind me is like, [1354.54] Curry: well, these are the ones that are flying nicely. [1355.98] Curry: I don't want to mess with those. [1359.02] Curry: A crappy old quad, [1360.38] Curry: then it's like, [1360.94] Curry: well, it's still crap. [1362.38] Curry: I don't know if you're going [1363.1] Curry: to make it better. [1365.66] Curry: Sometimes it's the case of like, [1367.02] Curry: I will just wait [1368.38] Curry: and eventually get one on 4.2 [1369.98] Curry: by some means [1371.42] Curry: and then see what it's like there [1372.62] Curry: and see if there's a massive difference. [1374.7] Curry: Because it'd be interesting [1375.5] Curry: just to take a quad [1377.66] Curry: and sort of set it up from scratch [1379.82] Curry: in need of like whatever, [1381.58] Curry: an earlier version, [1382.3] Curry: then go to 4.2 [1383.5] Curry: and see what you had to do [1384.7] Curry: and see what differences [1386.54] Curry: it was out of the box [1387.26] Curry: and how much fiddling [1388.06] Curry: you actually had to do with it. [1389.34] Curry: There you go. [1389.9] Curry: That's an interesting idea [1390.94] Curry: for a video for you. [1391.9] Curry: You do that, Lee. [1392.54] Curry: I'll watch it. [1393.66] Lee: No, no, no. [1394.14] Lee: You can do that one, mate. [1395.98] Lee: I'm way too busy. [1397.18] Lee: I'm up to my eyeballs [1398.38] Lee: in mini-dracks [1399.26] Lee: and nano-dracks at the moment. [1401.02] Tony: Yeah, I watch your video. [1403.42] Tony: Loving that drag. [1406.06] Lee: I'll tell you, [1407.1] Lee: I was flying it on Monday [1408.62] Lee: and I finally figured out [1409.74] Lee: how to get the miles per hour speed [1411.74] Lee: in the on-screen display [1412.78] Lee: for the DJI stuff [1415.18] Lee: because interestingly, [1416.22] Lee: it wasn't working [1417.74] Lee: and I oddly couldn't find a video [1420.46] Lee: that told you how to fix it. [1422.14] Lee: So it was one of those things [1423.34] Lee: where I just buggered about [1424.54] Lee: until eventually it appeared. [1426.7] Lee: And what I hadn't appreciated [1428.14] Lee: was for the DJI HD goggles, [1431.02] Lee: even though it doesn't use [1433.34] Lee: the on-screen display [1435.58] Lee: from the flight controller, [1439.1] Lee: in terms of the position [1440.22] Lee: of all the elements on the screen, [1441.74] Lee: it still uses that tab [1443.18] Lee: in Betaflight or iNav [1444.62] Lee: to position everything. [1447.02] Lee: And I hadn't turned on the speed. [1451.42] Lee: I just thought it would read it [1452.54] Lee: from the telemetry screen, [1453.66] Lee: but oh no, no, no. [1454.78] Lee: It doesn't do that at all. [1456.14] Lee: So if you're listening to this [1457.18] Lee: and you want to play with this stuff [1458.3] Lee: and you're using DJI HD goggles, [1461.82] Lee: then you've got to still position [1463.58] Lee: everything in your on-screen displays [1464.94] Lee: that you want it to. [1465.66] Lee: Anyway, long story short, [1467.18] Lee: finally had the miles per hour on there. [1469.5] Lee: Had my new E-prop all balanced on it. [1472.22] Lee: My mate chucked it. [1473.66] Lee: We just tested a plane [1475.98] Lee: that isn't out yet. [1477.42] Lee: So I can't talk about it. [1478.78] Lee: But the thrust angle [1481.1] Lee: on the prop was wrong. [1483.02] Lee: So as he threw it, [1484.14] Lee: it just immediately started [1485.5] Lee: to do a massive great big nose up [1489.02] Lee: and came round in a big circle [1490.78] Lee: and tried to hit us in the head. [1493.66] Lee: Which was very exciting. [1495.98] Lee: So when he threw the drag, [1497.9] Lee: I was a bit nervous [1499.34] Lee: about giving it full beans [1500.78] Lee: because we nearly killed us both [1502.62] Lee: on that test. [1504.78] Lee: And it wasn't enough. [1505.66] Lee: So he just threw it [1506.46] Lee: and he just fell into the grass. [1508.94] Lee: And for those of you that fly wings, [1510.38] Lee: you'll know that you'll know [1511.5] Lee: what I'm describing [1512.54] Lee: as it kind of gently [1514.14] Lee: flopped into the grass. [1515.18] Lee: A little piece of plastic went bing! [1517.58] Lee: Off the... [1518.06] Lee: And I went, that's a prop. [1519.9] Lee: I've lost half the prop. [1521.26] Lee: So sure enough, I had. [1522.86] Lee: Luckily, I'd taken [1524.3] Lee: a really old crappy prop. [1527.02] Lee: It was the wrong side. [1528.14] Lee: I'd snipped the end off [1529.18] Lee: to make it a bull nose [1530.38] Lee: and shaved bits off [1532.94] Lee: to try and balance it. [1533.9] Lee: Stuck it on the back of it. [1535.26] Lee: And even with [1535.82] Lee: that really crappy prop, [1537.26] Lee: it did 89 miles an hour. [1540.14] Lee: Wow. [1541.5] Lee: Which when you go over... [1544.38] Lee: I haven't released a video. [1545.34] Lee: I was talking to Jack [1545.98] Lee: about this in the week. [1547.18] Lee: But with the HD goggles in 16.9, [1550.54] Lee: doing 90 miles an hour, [1552.7] Lee: blow over the tree. [1554.06] Lee: Oh man, it is epic. [1557.42] Lee: So epic. [1558.46] Lee: Hang on. [1559.18] Lee: Let me get this. [1562.86] Tony: Enjoy evening. [1565.74] NJ: Hello. [1569.36] Lee: I've got the Nano. [1571.36] Lee: So for those of you [1572.08] Lee: that have been watching, [1573.84] Lee: I've actually built this [1575.04] Lee: over the last four days. [1577.2] Lee: So yeah, the bloody expensive things. [1580.48] Lee: And they're a bugger to build [1583.76] Lee: because it doesn't come like this. [1585.44] Lee: It comes in... [1587.6] Lee: Everything is unconnected. [1589.28] Lee: So you have to put it together. [1590.32] Lee: But Frank, check out [1591.84] Lee: all these little 3D printed bits. [1593.84] Lee: We've got little bits [1594.64] Lee: to hold the front in. [1596.16] Lee: We've got a little catch. [1598.72] Lee: See if you can do it. [1599.84] Lee: A little catch to hold the side bits in. [1605.6] Lee: But I must admit, [1607.04] Lee: I am dead impressed with this. [1609.52] Lee: The only problem is, [1610.56] Lee: I thought I was going to get this one [1612.08] Lee: because this would be easy [1613.12] Lee: to transport than that big. [1615.04] Lee: It's not that big, [1615.76] Lee: but the Mini-Drac is like [1616.8] Lee: a 40-inch wingspan. [1619.36] Lee: Unfortunately, this Nano-Drac, [1621.76] Lee: I got it with the 40-inch wings, [1624.32] Lee: so it's the same size. [1628.88] Tony: You have to fly them fast. [1630.24] Tony: You can't fly them slow, can you? [1632.96] Lee: The thing is, they do fly really slow. [1635.76] Lee: In the video. [1637.52] Tony: Because every time [1638.48] Tony: I see someone flying them, [1639.92] Tony: they're flying them all the time. [1641.52] Tony: They're flying them so fast. [1643.6] Lee: Well, the thing is that [1644.56] Lee: the Drax do fly incredibly quickly. [1646.48] Lee: But if you cut the engine [1648.48] Lee: and you just kind of, [1649.52] Lee: they glide really well. [1651.92] Lee: And the first... [1655.2] Lee: Anyway, this thing on Monday, [1658.16] Lee: flying it, like I said, [1659.52] Lee: with a really crappy prop, [1660.72] Lee: about 89 miles an hour, [1663.04] Lee: over the heads. [1663.92] Lee: And in the video, [1665.6] Lee: I was watching it back [1666.8] Lee: because my mate's got his hat cam on. [1668.32] Lee: He's watching it. [1670.08] Lee: He's doing my spotting [1671.04] Lee: as I'm flying with the FPV stuff. [1673.68] Lee: And he's like, [1674.56] Lee: it's a little bugger [1675.84] Lee: because what he does, [1676.64] Lee: he says, always, [1677.28] Lee: go on, go on, [1678.16] Lee: give it full throttle, [1678.88] Lee: give it full throttle. [1680.72] Lee: You know, we've all got [1681.76] Lee: one of those mates at the field, [1683.04] Lee: right? [1684.88] Lee: Go on, Tony! [1686.72] Lee: Go on, give it the full beat. [1688.24] Lee: So I'm doing passes [1689.92] Lee: at full tilt over overhead. [1691.84] Lee: Hey, MJ! [1693.52] Lee: Hello, mate. [1694.08] Lee: And as it goes over the top, [1699.68] Lee: the noise is incredible. [1701.44] Lee: And all you can hear [1702.56] Lee: is him and I on the video [1703.92] Lee: from the from the hat cam. [1705.84] Lee: Absolutely killing ourselves, [1707.52] Lee: laughing and giggling [1708.48] Lee: like little 13-year-old kids [1710.72] Lee: as this thing just tears off [1712.48] Lee: into this guy. [1713.2] Lee: Hey, never grow up. [1714.96] Lee: You know what it is? [1716.4] Lee: And it is just so nice [1717.84] Lee: because I have so missed flying [1719.92] Lee: under all this lockdown stuff. [1722.96] Lee: And I'm sure I'm not the only one, [1724.4] Lee: but I think lots of us [1725.36] Lee: were kind of forgetting [1726.24] Lee: what the hobby was all about [1727.76] Lee: and how fun it was. [1729.68] Lee: That's a good one. [1730.64] Tony: What outside was. [1733.84] Tony: Yeah, I think a lot of us [1735.04] Tony: did. [1735.36] Tony: I mean, I'm joking. [1736.08] Tony: I like doing it now. [1737.44] Tony: I keep forgetting to arrange [1739.44] Tony: to go out on the weekend. [1741.76] Tony: But I'm trying to do it again now. [1743.44] Tony: I'm starting to go out. [1744.24] Tony: Monday was the first time [1745.84] Tony: I've left the postcode. [1747.12] Tony: So we should ask MJ about 120. [1750.48] Tony: Is that what you're going to say? [1751.28] Tony: Yeah. [1751.76] Tony: I'll get you to it. [1752.32] Curry: Yes, because MJ is an early adopter [1755.12] Curry: and likes to be on the cutting edge [1757.12] Curry: of tech. [1757.6] Curry: The bleeding edge. [1758.16] Curry: The bleeding edge. [1760.48] NJ: It's not about cutting. [1761.52] NJ: It's about bleeding [1762.88] NJ: in a horrible heat. [1763.68] Curry: Well, one comes after the other [1765.44] Curry: generally, doesn't it? [1766.48] NJ: Yeah, yeah, I'm afraid so. [1768.08] NJ: But 4.2. [1769.52] NJ: Is that what we're talking about [1770.96] NJ: in terms of a B to flight? [1773.36] NJ: But I'm very careful to say that [1774.72] NJ: right in front of the carrier [1775.76] NJ: triggering if I say B to flight. [1779.44] Curry: We're not American here. [1782.56] NJ: It's been very, very good. [1784.16] NJ: Very I mean, I always jump on the RCs [1787.04] NJ: just to see what's happening. [1788.48] NJ: And I've got enough sacrificial quads [1790.24] NJ: as I know you mentioned earlier [1793.04] NJ: to throw as a test bed [1795.28] NJ: for these things. [1796.64] NJ: And I'll usually put it on a couple. [1798.08] NJ: So at least I've got some hardware [1799.76] NJ: variation to see how they work out. [1802.96] NJ: And in a long while, [1804.64] NJ: this has probably been the first time [1808.56] NJ: it's been very solid [1809.68] NJ: right through the RCs. [1810.8] NJ: I haven't had any issues [1813.2] NJ: right up to release. [1814.48] NJ: Certainly nothing. [1815.12] NJ: I've felt the need to jump on [1816.88] NJ: and report. [1818.56] NJ: So it's been very, very good. [1820.16] NJ: And the big thing I liked [1822.64] NJ: was them adding in the ability [1824.0] NJ: to add kiss rates or race flight rates [1825.84] NJ: because I've always liked the way [1827.36] Lee: the stick feeler kiss worked. [1829.68] NJ: Yeah. [1830.08] NJ: So that's been a really welcome feature. [1832.96] NJ: So yeah, I've got very little negative things. [1835.68] NJ: Have you found the mid-fro idle thing? [1841.04] NJ: Yeah, I've not missed about [1842.4] NJ: too much with it yet. [1843.28] NJ: I've just sort of put the feelers out [1845.12] NJ: and seen how things are feeling [1847.12] NJ: and checking motor temps [1848.24] NJ: and all that kind of thing. [1849.76] NJ: Something Curry mentioned earlier, [1851.04] NJ: actually, the one thing I always do, [1852.48] NJ: especially if I've got a quad [1853.52] NJ: that I know flies well, [1854.72] NJ: I'll just do a dump, [1855.84] NJ: chuck it in a folder. [1856.48] NJ: Yeah, do a dump. [1858.08] NJ: Then at least I know [1859.28] NJ: if it all goes wrong, [1860.08] NJ: I can flash back [1860.96] NJ: and drop that dump back on [1863.6] NJ: because yeah, [1864.16] NJ: it's always a little bit of a [1865.36] NJ: should I, shouldn't I, [1866.24] NJ: when you've got a good flying quad. [1868.96] Tony: So just put a kiss on your quad [1871.6] NJ: and go and fly and it's fine. [1874.32] NJ: Don't start that whole argument again. [1876.08] Curry: One of my questions [1877.2] Curry: about when you're moving up [1879.2] Curry: a release like that is, [1880.4] Curry: how much do you have to do? [1882.64] Curry: It always would be great [1884.48] Curry: if you could just move your firmware up [1887.84] Curry: and just take it out and fly it. [1889.12] Curry: And it's like, oh, look at that. [1890.16] Curry: It flies great. [1892.48] Curry: Which is I prefer it [1894.0] Curry: because nowadays, [1895.68] Curry: if you look at exactly how much [1897.04] Curry: there is to mess around with in stuff, [1899.44] Curry: there's an awful lot to it. [1901.2] Curry: If you've missed out [1901.84] Curry: a couple of releases, [1902.64] Curry: you're like, what is this stuff? [1904.88] NJ: So I think personally, [1906.4] NJ: the one thing that you should make [1907.92] NJ: a habit with now is to, [1909.68] NJ: with every new release, [1910.88] NJ: go and look at the tuning notes [1912.88] NJ: for that release. [1913.68] NJ: If you just Google [1914.64] NJ: beta flight 4.2 tuning notes, [1917.44] NJ: you'll see a whole page [1918.48] NJ: with a load of CLI [1919.84] NJ: that's tuned specifically for [1922.96] NJ: racing, for fast race, [1925.04] NJ: stroke, freestyle, [1926.4] NJ: one for cinematic. [1927.52] NJ: Like there's so much [1928.8] NJ: that goes into them [1930.64] NJ: now categorizing [1932.16] NJ: how you might like to fly [1933.36] NJ: and then giving you a load of code [1934.64] NJ: to kind of give you that help [1936.64] NJ: rather than you having to search [1937.92] NJ: through and understand [1938.88] NJ: every type of filter setting. [1940.4] NJ: And really, you can just [1942.0] NJ: paste that code in [1942.88] NJ: as a good starting point. [1945.04] NJ: And then always say the same thing [1946.48] NJ: like go out and fly the defaults [1948.32] NJ: are so good in the envelope [1949.44] NJ: so wide on the defaults now [1952.16] NJ: that it covers so much gear [1954.08] NJ: and flies well [1955.12] NJ: just without having to do [1956.08] NJ: anything with the PIDs. [1957.04] NJ: I'll usually do a stop flight first [1959.52] NJ: just with the default PIDs [1960.72] NJ: and this tuning code. [1963.52] NJ: Check things over [1964.4] NJ: and then start to push [1966.16] NJ: sliders around and tighten [1968.88] NJ: the nuts and bolts. [1972.16] NJ: But yeah, I guess [1974.4] NJ: because I do it a lot [1975.68] NJ: I've got a bit of a process to it [1978.32] NJ: and the certain quads [1979.36] NJ: I know off by heart [1980.48] NJ: what the ports are [1982.0] NJ: and all the other stuff [1982.88] NJ: people usually flash [1983.92] NJ: and then go, [1984.88] NJ: oh, I didn't take a screenshot [1986.24] NJ: of my port settings. [1988.24] NJ: And it's when you do things like that [1989.44] NJ: it becomes a ball ache. [1990.64] NJ: But I think it's good. [1993.12] NJ: Make a dump of the quad [1996.0] NJ: and the few screenshots [1997.04] NJ: of your configuration page [1998.72] NJ: so you know your port settings [1999.92] NJ: and whether you were running [2001.36] NJ: bi-directional D shot. [2003.36] NJ: If you're doing that [2004.08] NJ: how many motor poles have you got? [2005.68] NJ: If it's a five inch [2006.32] NJ: it's probably 14. [2007.28] NJ: If it's just a little one [2008.32] NJ: it's probably 12. [2009.44] NJ: All those little things [2010.32] NJ: will just mean [2010.88] NJ: you can fly through it quickly. [2013.84] NJ: But yeah, there's also [2015.12] NJ: as you say [2015.52] NJ: a good argument for [2016.72] NJ: it flies great [2017.68] NJ: leave it [2018.32] NJ: just enjoy flying. [2020.0] NJ: So that's more about you. [2022.88] Curry: The good news about [2023.76] Curry: the tuning notes [2024.64] Curry: because I remember [2025.36] Curry: looking at those in past releases [2027.12] Curry: and it was some really ancient document [2029.68] Curry: that was sort of [2030.88] Curry: the very first time [2032.08] Curry: somebody videoed something [2033.52] Curry: and like here's a pea oscillation. [2035.2] Curry: So if they've updated that [2036.56] Curry: that's a good start I think. [2038.56] NJ: Yeah, it's very good. [2039.6] NJ: And the actual amount of code [2040.88] NJ: you have to write in. [2041.68] NJ: I mean obviously just copy paste [2043.44] NJ: enter save and you're done. [2046.08] NJ: But it's well explained now as well [2049.6] NJ: they're doing such a good job [2050.72] NJ: of kind of putting this [2052.56] NJ: into more layman terms [2054.08] NJ: where things aren't. [2055.2] NJ: Even in terms of the configurator [2058.0] NJ: the little question marks [2059.12] NJ: next to everything [2059.76] NJ: if you hover over them [2060.72] NJ: a lot of them have been rewritten [2061.84] NJ: in a very understandable way [2065.28] NJ: that's not totally understandable. [2068.88] Tony: I think so. [2069.6] Jack: Yes, it could never be. [2076.16] Jack: Do you know what I always do? [2077.28] Jack: I always do a dump [2078.32] Jack: forget some sort of settings [2079.52] Jack: and then have to hover. [2080.16] Jack: We know you always do a dump. [2084.16] Jack: Genius. [2085.44] Jack: There's a question here for you. [2087.36] Jack: Any advice on putting iNav [2088.88] Jack: in a F-16 foamy? [2093.12] Lee: Yeah, I kind of didn't finish [2095.52] Lee: my story before. [2096.48] Lee: The whole reason [2097.76] Lee: and it kind of relates back [2099.04] Lee: to the whole PID tuning thing. [2104.56] Lee: The very first flight [2105.76] Lee: of the track that I did [2107.04] Lee: was horrible on iNav [2109.44] Lee: and what I found [2110.4] Lee: was that in a stabilized mode [2112.4] Lee: the nose was wobbling [2114.8] Lee: and it felt like the P gain [2116.56] Lee: was fighting the fixed wing. [2119.12] Lee: So I kind of came back [2120.72] Lee: and thinking okay [2121.36] Lee: I'm probably going to have [2122.16] Lee: to drop that quite a lot. [2124.16] Lee: It was quite a slow wobble [2125.68] Lee: so I didn't know [2126.24] Lee: whether I needed to increase that. [2127.68] Lee: It was all that kind of [2129.04] Lee: messing about you have to do [2130.8] Lee: and then I happened to watch [2133.28] Lee: a video [2134.72] Lee: because you guys have had [2136.16] Lee: Pavl on here, haven't you? [2137.2] Lee: Pavl Spikowski, [2138.4] Lee: the iNav developer. [2139.52] Lee: Lovely guy, Pavl. [2143.2] Lee: Pavl's got a really weird video [2145.2] Lee: about setting up iNav on a wing [2148.08] Lee: which is kind of answering [2149.2] Lee: Lergie's question I think. [2151.12] Lee: Lergie's. [2152.0] Lee: Because in the video [2154.16] Lee: what he says is [2155.28] Lee: on a fixed wing turn off your P gain, [2159.68] Lee: turn your iGain down [2161.52] Lee: to almost nothing [2162.8] Lee: and use feed forward [2164.72] Lee: the PIF part of the feed forward [2167.68] Lee: use that to actually control your aircraft. [2170.24] Lee: And I kind of I watch the video [2172.72] Lee: and you know from all of the years [2174.8] Lee: and years we've all done [2175.92] Lee: with PID controllers [2177.6] Lee: and setting them up [2178.64] Lee: and tuning them [2179.44] Lee: and fanging about [2180.4] Lee: and midpoint throttle brake [2181.92] Lee: and all that jazz. [2184.16] Lee: The idea of turning the P gain off [2185.92] Lee: just seemed completely wrong [2187.12] Lee: but then you think about it [2188.16] Lee: and you go hang on a minute [2190.08] Lee: a plane is and a flying wing [2192.24] Lee: is a naturally stable thing. [2194.48] Lee: If you don't have a flight controller [2196.0] Lee: you can still fly it, right? [2197.36] Lee: So you don't need a flight controller [2199.6] Lee: to do a thousand different corrections [2202.96] Lee: every second [2204.72] Lee: in order to keep it in the air [2205.84] Lee: like for a multi-rotor [2206.88] Lee: because if you have a flight controller [2208.16] Lee: and a multi-rotor [2209.36] Lee: it would immediately just kill itself [2210.88] Lee: and flip death. [2212.8] Lee: So the idea of turning it off is great [2214.4] Lee: and that's what I did with a mini drive [2215.68] Lee: that's what I did on Monday. [2216.72] Lee: I had a P gain of zero [2219.92] Lee: I had an iGain of four [2222.4] Lee: and then the feed forward [2223.6] Lee: was what had been calculated [2225.28] Lee: from the auto tune [2226.96] Lee: and I flew it in something [2228.48] Lee: called Acro mode. [2229.68] Lee: So this Acro still uses [2232.08] Lee: the PIF controller in iNAV [2234.0] Lee: manual completely ignores [2236.16] Lee: all the PIF settings [2237.44] Lee: and I flew it in Acro [2238.8] Lee: and it was immense [2242.4] Lee: absolutely immense. [2243.92] Lee: So Lurgi what I would do is [2246.4] Lee: if you're going to put iNAV [2247.44] Lee: on something like an F16 foamy [2249.6] Lee: that's already reasonably stable [2252.96] Lee: just be aware of that. [2254.32] Lee: I'm doing another video on it [2256.08] Lee: but Pavel's got one as well. [2258.4] Lee: Set it up as you would normally [2260.32] Lee: tune it as you would normally [2262.64] Lee: like Frank was talking about before [2264.16] Lee: always do your tuning [2265.12] Lee: three mistakes high [2266.16] Lee: that gives you a chance of recovering it [2269.04] Lee: but once you've got that done [2270.64] Lee: is then turn the P gain off [2272.96] Lee: turn the iGain down to about six [2276.16] Lee: and then keep the feed forward [2278.64] Lee: whatever the auto tune set it as [2281.28] Lee: and fly in Acro [2283.12] Lee: and it will be immense. [2286.64] Lee: It still works for things [2287.84] Lee: like return to home [2289.68] Lee: because the iGain [2292.0] Lee: what it does is iGain [2293.2] Lee: is there to take [2295.12] Lee: and correct for sustained deviation [2297.84] Lee: and what that means is [2298.64] Lee: that if you're flying along [2299.68] Lee: rather being straight and level [2300.8] Lee: if the wind kind of tips you over [2302.56] Lee: so one of the wings go down [2304.0] Lee: in a fixed wing [2305.12] Lee: that's perfect for iGain [2306.8] Lee: because iGain will work [2308.16] Lee: to bring that other wing [2310.08] Lee: back up to level [2311.12] Lee: if that's what you're trying to do [2312.56] Lee: so it takes all of that stuff [2315.28] Lee: into account [2316.64] Lee: and things like return to home [2318.4] Lee: and that still work [2319.52] Lee: so that would be my bit [2320.64] Lee: my new advice [2321.44] Lee: and literally that's something [2322.56] Lee: I only been doing for the last week [2325.44] Lee: I watched Paddle's video [2326.72] Lee: first time I watched it [2327.6] Lee: I thought this is just silly [2329.68] Lee: this will no won't work [2331.04] Lee: second time I watched it [2332.4] Lee: it started to make sense [2333.68] Lee: third time I actually made notes in my book [2335.84] Lee: because I was thinking [2336.48] Lee: I'm gonna [2338.24] Lee: because you also do things [2339.12] Lee: like turn your own little black book [2341.36] Lee: oh it's a little black [2342.4] Lee: but well it's bigger [2344.16] Lee: it's bigger than [2345.6] Lee: because you've got one as well [2346.72] Lee: haven't you Jack [2348.4] Lee: you've got a little book [2349.28] Lee: with all your notes in [2351.84] Lee: does everyone not have [2352.64] Lee: a little book like this [2353.52] Lee: where you put all your [2354.16] Lee: really important stuff in [2360.0] Tony: oh my god [2361.28] Tony: mines literally got [2362.64] Tony: birds names in and that's it [2364.08] NJ: mine used to be a lot smaller for that sadly [2370.4] NJ: but do you know what was interesting [2372.16] NJ: about you saying about the f16 [2374.48] NJ: the real one [2375.52] NJ: the real one's actually [2377.92] NJ: a fly-by-wire system [2379.12] NJ: so it's all [2379.84] NJ: obviously nothing connects all [2381.28] NJ: if the computer dies in that [2382.8] NJ: you know [2383.44] NJ: they have to actually eject [2384.72] NJ: because the whole thing [2385.44] NJ: is completely inherently untable [2387.76] NJ: so that that plane's really [2389.36] NJ: quite quite horrible [2390.24] NJ: to fly without a computer [2391.44] Tony: isn't that same as the euro fire [2393.92] Tony: that's got like [2394.48] Tony: euro five [2394.96] Tony: yeah there's quite [2396.16] Tony: there's quite a few of them now [2397.44] Tony: computers [2397.92] NJ: how many f35 and 22 [2400.16] NJ: and a lot of them [2400.96] NJ: the rounds [2401.6] NJ: the whole yeah [2402.24] Tony: what about that [2403.6] Tony: a330 is that the same [2407.52] Tony: is the one that keeps going wrong [2408.88] Lee: that doesn't fly very well [2410.16] Lee: and stuff [2411.04] Lee: yeah that's not got all the computers [2412.64] Lee: because it is so inherently unstable [2414.8] Lee: for dog fighting [2415.68] Lee: that you need [2418.0] Tony: flying into ten reef [2419.36] Tony: you know what i'm saying [2420.48] Lee: to be fair we don't know [2421.6] Lee: it's dog fighting capability [2424.64] Lee: it hasn't yet been tested [2425.84] Lee: you're absolutely right nj [2427.2] Lee: i'll retract that [2431.76] NJ: yeah it is interesting [2434.48] NJ: it's a lot of stuff [2435.28] NJ: so it's funny you should say [2436.64] NJ: that actually painless [2438.88] NJ: when you're talking about the [2440.88] NJ: the fact that everyone's [2442.08] NJ: just so accustomed to flying [2443.76] NJ: or in the mindset of flying [2445.6] NJ: fixed doing with flight controllers [2447.12] NJ: now because obviously [2447.84] NJ: we're from an old school [2449.44] NJ: those were the new things [2450.56] NJ: like for years and years [2452.24] NJ: you didn't [2452.96] NJ: fly control had nothing to do [2454.16] NJ: with the plane [2454.96] NJ: in any form [2456.64] NJ: no even [2457.6] NJ: even helicopters [2458.48] NJ: it was very old mechanical [2460.64] NJ: one mechanical gyro [2462.64] Curry: now i wonder what trim tabs [2464.72] Curry: for our radios now [2465.84] Curry: don't you it's like [2466.56] Curry: enough nothing wants you [2467.6] Curry: to use them anymore [2469.92] Lee: that's it [2471.6] NJ: we've got this [2473.76] Lee: i'm just going to say [2474.4] Lee: i've actually getting [2476.24] Lee: some radio control helicopters [2477.92] Lee: into play with [2478.72] Lee: and hopefully this [2480.24] Lee: so this will work [2481.68] Lee: and all of these you know [2484.0] Lee: talking about the flight controller [2485.2] Lee: thing to pick up on what [2486.16] Lee: because i know you're [2487.2] Lee: you're a heli pilot of old as well [2489.84] Lee: i'm excited to get them in [2491.2] Lee: just to try helis again [2493.6] Lee: but they come these days [2495.12] Lee: with all the fly baller stuff [2496.8] Lee: and flight controllers stuff [2498.08] Lee: already installed [2499.28] Lee: so you literally just like [2500.4] Lee: you put your s bus in [2501.52] Lee: and you set your game channels [2503.12] Lee: and all that jazz [2503.84] Lee: and one of the main reasons [2505.04] Lee: i'm getting it in [2505.6] Lee: is because i have loads of [2506.48] Lee: questions from people [2507.44] Lee: wanting to know [2508.0] Lee: how to do open tx [2509.68] Lee: with fly ballers controllers [2511.52] Lee: because there aren't [2512.56] Lee: many videos about it [2514.08] Lee: but between you and i [2515.28] Lee: i'm actually quite looking forward [2516.72] NJ: to getting the helicopter again [2518.48] NJ: can't wait yeah [2519.2] NJ: well i i got one [2520.64] NJ: at the end of last year [2521.6] NJ: which is still waiting [2522.56] NJ: to have a proper flight [2523.6] NJ: so i sneakily jumped [2525.52] NJ: on board again [2526.96] NJ: as well [2528.16] Lee: quite excited [2530.96] Lee: we need some kind of association [2532.4] Lee: where we go [2532.96] Lee: and admit that you know [2535.04] Lee: i'm a i'm a [2536.4] Lee: hellaholic yeah [2538.64] NJ: secret secret rotary love [2541.36] Lee: yeah a single single [2542.88] Lee: rotor enthusiast [2545.52] Frank: there's a project [2548.08] Frank: tom stanton is working on [2550.16] Frank: there's a helicopter [2551.92] Frank: at the moment [2552.88] Frank: that looks very interesting [2555.68] Frank: but i don't think the proper [2557.36] Frank: video is out yet [2559.44] NJ: it's because he was a good [2560.32] NJ: heli pilot [2560.88] NJ: i remember the one the first [2562.08] NJ: early videos [2562.8] NJ: when tom barely had any subs [2564.48] NJ: he put some videos up [2566.16] NJ: of a t-rex 700 [2567.68] NJ: that he was electric [2568.96] NJ: one of the one of the first ones [2570.48] NJ: first models of it [2571.84] NJ: and he was seeing how many bricks [2573.84] NJ: he could lift with it [2574.8] NJ: so it was a heavy [2576.32] NJ: which turned out to be [2577.2] NJ: a hell of a lot as it goes [2578.96] NJ: with a whopping great [2579.92] NJ: 90 size electric helicopter [2582.0] NJ: but i'm sure if you look [2583.36] NJ: through old enough videos [2584.4] NJ: of his you'll find this [2585.76] NJ: heavy lifting helicopter [2587.28] NJ: vids to him so [2588.32] NJ: he knows what he's doing [2589.12] NJ: with the helis for sure [2591.68] Jack: i posted a [2592.8] Jack: andrew newton link [2595.6] Jack: he talks about acro [2598.08] Jack: for inaf in there [2599.6] Jack: and i thought it was pretty good [2601.04] Jack: i posted that [2602.32] Jack: and i'm also trying to [2604.56] Jack: trying to see whether [2605.36] Jack: we can get [2606.0] Jack: nicolas means on [2608.08] Jack: you know like one of the [2609.28] Jack: lead guys from [2611.68] Jack: from github [2612.64] Jack: and he's a big aviation fan [2614.96] Jack: and he loves talking [2616.16] Jack: about plane crashes [2617.36] Jack: and all kinds of [2618.96] Jack: he's like one of the [2620.08] Jack: most interesting guys [2622.48] Jack: i'd get on with him [2623.52] Jack: i'm a bit of an aircrusher [2626.56] Jack: i i think [2628.56] Jack: i think you [2630.4] Jack: nj sheldon [2631.84] Jack: painless and frank [2633.76] Jack: we're just all [2634.48] Jack: we try to have a sword [2635.6] Jack: fire in his mouth [2639.52] Jack: it was like the show [2640.96] Jack: would go on for about [2642.08] Jack: five hours i think [2643.84] Jack: i just i [2644.72] Jack: and i would just sit there [2645.68] Jack: in the corner just like [2648.4] Lee: well if you get him on [2650.0] Lee: the hook let me know [2652.0] Frank: this episode was recorded [2653.28] Frank: in front of a live [2654.16] Frank: online audience [2655.12] Frank: downloaded and edited [2656.24] Frank: to make sense [2656.96] Frank: when it played audio only [2658.72] Frank:

Lee: taking of crashes and stuff [2678.8] Lee: have there been any [2680.8] Lee: yeah interesting [2682.96] Lee: airprox stuff [2684.24] Lee: frank that you've read recently [2685.76] Lee: are you still keeping [2686.56] Lee: an eye on those [2687.68] Frank: i haven't i haven't actually [2688.72] Frank: looked at the airprox stuff [2689.92] Frank: recently [2693.2] Frank: there was [2696.32] Frank: there was there's something [2697.52] Frank: oh there was the the couple [2700.96] Frank: that got arrested [2702.8] Lee: two hundred grand [2703.84] Lee: yeah two hundred grand [2705.28] Lee: but yeah [2706.72] Tony: arresting [2707.52] Tony: out [2710.88] Jack: i bet you wish that [2711.76] Jack: the police did listen [2712.64] Jack: to let's drone out [2713.6] Jack: so that you could have got [2714.8] Jack: they would have got [2715.68] Jack: a real [2719.12] Jack: yeah it's been [2720.56] Jack: between 200 grand [2721.6] Jack: uptown we would never [2722.64] Jack: have seen you [2723.52] Tony: actually think the lawyers [2724.72] Tony: took about 150 [2726.64] Lee: it was it was it was [2727.76] Lee: a 50 grand award [2729.44] Lee: and 150 in legal fees [2731.12] Lee: so as usual the lawyers [2732.56] Lee: ran away with the majority [2733.6] Lee: of the money [2734.96] Tony: but 50 grand [2736.0] Tony: they sniffed out [2737.12] Tony: for one night in a slammer [2741.04]

Frank: when you fly them [2837.22] Frank: that wasn't actually [2837.94] Frank: part of the july rules [2838.98] Frank: that was part of [2839.94] Frank: some rules last year [2841.38] Frank: and it was just that [2842.26] Frank: there was an exemption [2843.62] Frank: for the members of the associations [2845.86] Frank: so that meant [2846.58] Frank: that we could ignore that [2847.78] Frank: until july [2849.46] Frank: but that hasn't actually [2850.34] Frank: been extended yet [2852.02] Frank: but speaking to the people [2853.62] Frank: that are going to be [2854.58] Frank: sitting in

sorry [2884.58] Lee: i'm just glad i'm [2885.38] Lee: socially distanced [2886.26] Lee: that's all [2887.54] Frank: it's a good thing [2888.1] Frank: this is all remote [2889.78] Frank: but yeah so [2890.82] Frank: on the 29th we [2893.14] Frank: sounds like [2893.78] Frank: we might well hear [2895.38] Frank: that the exemption [2896.66] Frank: has been extended [2898.42] Frank: for members [2899.62] Frank: but it means [2900.5] Frank: there's like three days [2901.54] Frank: between them [2902.82] Frank: confirming that [2903.7] Frank: and us actually having [2906.18] Frank: to have numbers on things [2908.18] Tony: if you haven't got any numbers [2910.82] Tony: on my stuff so [2912.02] Frank: yeah i'm not bothering [2913.54] Frank: just yeah [2914.02] Frank: good information [2915.3] Frank: nice one [2916.82] Lee: yeah [2917.3] Lee: please keep me up to date [2918.34] Lee: with that brother [2920.02] Frank: and i don't know [2920.74] Frank: if anyone's seen [2922.5] Frank: there was [2923.94] Frank: a big furori [2925.46] Frank: on facebook [2929.62] Frank: the drone and sundry guys [2933.14] Frank: were having [2934.1] Frank: big powwow on tuesday [2935.62] Frank: saying that [2936.9] Frank: this is going to be terrible [2938.74] Frank: because there's the new version [2940.42] Frank: of cap 1789 [2941.7] Frank: that was released last week [2944.74] Frank: i think just as we were having [2946.02] Frank: this show last week [2948.5] Frank: and there's some updates in there [2951.14] Frank: there's the remote idea [2952.1] Frank: that we talked about before [2953.06] Frank: when it was updated [2954.18] Frank: a few months ago [2955.7] Frank: but there was some other ones [2957.06] Frank: and they're just kind of [2958.18] Frank: a bit worried about stuff [2959.3] Frank: but from what i can tell [2962.42] Frank: i'm not entirely sure [2963.78] Frank: unless you've got a pfco [2967.3] Frank: and you're worried about [2968.9] Frank: having your pfco [2970.34] Frank: mean anything [2971.54] Frank: i can't see anything [2974.02] Frank: that means anything to us [2975.46] Frank: so it's you know [2978.18] Frank: if you're a pro [2980.02] Frank: then or you care about the pros [2981.78] Frank: then maybe you want to [2983.62] Frank: read a bit more into it [2984.58] Frank: and write some letters [2985.94] Frank: but i don't quite understand [2987.62] Frank: what the fuss is about myself [2989.22] Frank: so we'll see [2991.38] Lee: what was that thing [2992.1] Lee: you popped to me [2992.82] Lee: the other day [2993.46] Lee: about sending a letter to your mp [2995.54] Lee: is that related to it [2996.58] Lee: or is that something else? [2997.38] Frank: yeah that was this [2998.02] Frank: so this was a letter that [3000.42] Frank: one of them [3000.98] Frank: or one of their mates [3002.58] Frank: had written [3004.58] Frank: so it's just kind of saying [3007.78] Frank: if you've got a pfco now [3009.94] Frank: that should kind of be enough [3012.58] Frank: i think was the sort of [3014.26] Frank: general gist of it [3016.02] Frank: but i haven't really [3018.02] Frank: dug deep into it [3019.06] Frank: because i just kind of [3020.5] Frank: looked over the updates [3022.5] Frank: from last week [3023.3] Frank: and nothing sprang out at me [3025.86] Frank: like ah this is going to [3027.54] Frank: really affect [3029.7] Frank: the area that i know about [3031.94] Frank: so i've just kind of [3033.54] Frank: ignored most of it [3036.34] Lee: yeah i think i think yeah [3038.18] Lee: let's let's all ignore it [3039.46] Lee: and hope it just goes away [3040.58] Frank: and there was a time i'm sure [3042.5] Frank: where i would have [3043.78] Frank: gone through every clause [3046.74] Frank: and looked at the consequences [3049.46] Frank: but the yeah it seems so [3053.14] Frank: insignificant now [3054.26] Frank: especially when it's you know [3056.5] Frank: changing every week [3058.1] NJ: exactly chance tomorrow anyway [3060.1] Frank: exactly [3060.98] Frank: so i i'll wait until [3064.74] Frank: bmfa or someone else [3066.26] Frank: starts shouting about something [3067.78] Frank: and then maybe pay attention [3070.1] Lee: yeah no i think that sounds [3071.62] Lee: like a plan [3072.26] Lee: i'm just i'm just pleased [3073.22] Lee: it keeps getting delayed [3074.26] Lee: because it's a it's a ridiculous [3076.26] Lee: waste of money [3076.82] Lee: in my humble opinion [3077.7] Lee: they should give all that money [3079.06] Lee: in pay rises [3079.94] Lee: to all the frontline staff [3081.06] Lee: that have just been putting [3082.02] Lee: their lives at risk [3082.74] Lee: during this virus outbreak [3084.34] Lee: and stop putting it [3085.46] Lee: in the pockets of idiots [3086.5] Lee: stood sat in rooms [3087.62] Lee: drinking lots of coffee and tea [3088.82] Lee: and burning through tax [3090.18] Lee: payers money [3091.06] Lee: but that's just my opinion [3093.3] Jack: any views expressed on this show [3095.22] Jack: are personal [3096.42] Jack: and they not affect the views of [3098.1] Jack: others even though [3099.38] Jack: the majority of us [3100.66] Jack: fully agree with what he says [3103.7] Curry: no one asked me to read it [3106.42] Frank: there was also that [3107.46] Frank: other day [3108.9] Frank: it was recently [3110.66] Frank: being set up [3111.7] Frank: with the contact tracing [3114.9] Frank: which they've they've [3115.78] Frank: just thrown in the bin [3116.82] Frank: because they realized [3117.46] Frank: it was stupid [3118.42] Frank: and they should use the one [3119.7] Frank: that everyone else [3120.34] Frank: in the world is using instead [3122.58] Frank: yeah [3122.9] Tony: and that's called happen [3125.7] Tony: oh no that's dating [3129.62] Tony: sorry [3132.26] Frank: but yeah so [3133.78] Frank: yeah another good [3135.62] Frank: however many million pounds [3137.62] Frank: thrown on something [3138.42] Frank: that anyone with any sense [3139.62] Frank: could have looked at [3140.5] Frank: at the very beginning and gone [3141.62] Tony: how much have they spent [3142.9] Tony: three point something million [3145.14] UNKNOWN: I don't know [3146.02] Tony: too much [3148.18] Lee: way way too much [3150.26] Lee: way too much [3154.26] Jack: they're worried about us [3155.62] Jack: taking planes out the sky [3158.82] Frank: yeah yeah [3162.26] Frank: bigger things to worry about [3163.38] Tony: at the moment [3163.86] Tony: like they're being planes [3165.14] Tony: but you know [3165.62] Tony: wasn't there a video [3167.06] Tony: the other day [3167.62] Tony: I didn't watch it [3168.42] Tony: of a plane flying into [3170.74] Tony: a quad flying into a [3172.98] Tony: light aircraft [3174.98] Tony: and it got munched up [3176.1] Tony: when it carried on [3177.06] Tony: and landed or something [3178.42] Tony: sure [3178.9] Lee: somebody [3179.54] Lee: somebody mentioned something [3180.66] Lee: in the chat about it [3181.7] Lee: was a drone in a helicopter [3184.58] Lee: or something [3185.22] Lee: was it a drone in a helicopter [3186.42] Lee: yeah somebody [3187.06] Lee: I saw somebody mentioning it [3190.42] Frank: but in enlightened news [3191.94] Frank: but still kind of on the [3194.26] Frank: manned side of things [3196.02] Frank: as this weekend [3198.42] Frank: there is the armchair air show [3202.1] Frank: that I mentioned [3203.06] Frank: a couple of weeks ago [3206.26] Frank: on Saturday [3207.14] Frank: from two till six [3208.42] Frank: on YouTube [3209.78] Frank: a charity [3210.82] Frank: called Aerobility [3213.14] Frank: who helped disabled people [3216.1] Frank: get into the air [3220.02] Frank: holding a YouTube stream [3222.66] Frank: yeah from two till six [3224.66] Frank: with loads of [3226.5] Frank: onboard footage [3227.62] Frank: and other kind of unseen [3229.78] Frank: footage [3230.26] Frank: from loads of aircraft [3231.86] Frank: from the past few decades [3233.46] Frank: from you know [3234.66] Frank: SR-71s [3236.34] Frank: to just kind of like [3238.9] Frank: all sorts of mad aircraft [3240.18] Frank: that you would probably [3240.9] Frank: wouldn't see [3242.1] Frank: on the air show circuit [3243.22] Frank: even if there wasn't [3243.86] Frank: an air show circuit [3244.58] Frank: this year [3245.62] Frank: they dug out loads of [3246.66] Frank: competition [3247.06] Frank: had it done it and stuff [3248.26] Frank: so yeah [3249.86] Frank: that's something to look at [3252.58] Frank: on Saturday [3254.18] Frank: they look zero [3255.14] Frank: so just put it in the chat [3256.42] Frank: trying versus [3257.22] Frank: yeah definitely [3259.38] Frank: I would dig out that link [3261.86] Lee: while we're talking about [3263.78] Lee: virtual air shows and things [3265.3] Lee: normally [3267.38] Lee: something I've noticed [3268.18] Lee: on my YouTube channel [3269.3] Lee: because the YouTube channel [3270.58] Lee: the behavior on it [3271.54] Lee: has been really different [3273.14] Lee: in terms of what's been [3274.1] Lee: really catching people's [3275.54] Lee: attention over the last three [3276.66] Lee: months [3277.06] Lee: funnily enough [3278.1] Lee: as the previous however many [3279.54] Lee: years it's been going on [3280.98] Lee: one of the things [3281.46] Lee: that I've been noticing [3282.42] Lee: is that [3283.06] Lee: and I don't know whether [3283.7] Lee: you guys have seen it as well [3284.74] Lee: is that the videos of [3285.7] Lee: the maiden flights [3286.74] Lee: or just being out in the field [3288.42] Lee: with your mates [3289.46] Lee: with flying stuff [3290.58] Lee: or with FPV footage [3292.42] Lee: have got really [3293.94] Lee: really good traction [3294.98] Lee: whereas normally [3296.1] Lee: people go [3296.74] Lee: oh yeah flies next [3299.38] Lee: where people are actually [3300.34] Lee: sitting watching it [3301.14] Lee: I think partially [3302.02] Lee: it's because [3302.98] Lee: we have all been stuck in [3304.18] Lee: and for those of us [3305.06] Lee: that do live [3306.18] Lee: two and a half hour hike [3308.1] Lee: away from the flying field [3310.58] Lee: it just [3311.54] Lee: there is a little part of you [3313.06] Lee: that wants to watch [3314.42] Lee: RC aircraft [3315.38] Lee: or FPV footage [3318.02] Lee: I think we should all [3318.82] Lee: be trying to [3319.86] Lee: anyone with a YouTube channel [3321.06] Lee: should be trying to put [3321.94] Lee: more of that FPV [3323.62] Lee: and line the site footage [3324.9] Lee: on their stuff [3325.62] Lee: for people to watch [3326.74] Lee: so I know particularly [3327.94] Lee: my friend [3329.54] Lee: who is disabled [3330.42] Lee: who can't get out [3331.54] Lee: because he's in that [3332.34] Lee: you know that thing [3332.98] Lee: where the [3333.7] Lee: like is it vulnerable list [3335.38] Lee: or whatever it is [3336.42] Lee: you're not allowed [3337.06] Lee: to go out at all [3340.02] Lee: that's it shielded [3341.22] Lee: because now that [3341.78] Lee: they're indefinitely [3342.5] Lee: shielded aren't they [3343.22] Lee: he got the note to say [3344.18] Lee: it's not just 12 weeks [3345.3] Lee: he's kind of got to stay in [3347.46] Lee: forever [3348.18] Lee: at the moment [3349.78] Lee: and he's really missing [3350.98] Lee: not going out to the field [3352.5] Lee: and just watch it [3353.22] Lee: he doesn't fly [3354.1] Lee: but he loves [3355.06] Lee: that whole thing [3357.22] Lee: and there must be loads [3358.98] Lee: of other pilots [3359.78] Lee: and people in that same situation [3361.38] Lee: not maybe in as extreme [3362.5] Lee: position as that [3363.38] Lee: but who just miss [3365.22] Lee: just hearing [3366.82] Lee: the noises [3367.7] Lee: and the banter [3368.82] Lee: and stuff like that [3369.54] Lee: I must have it [3370.02] Lee: only to have a search [3370.98] Lee: from some of my field footage [3372.42] Lee: and start putting some videos up [3375.62] Jack: Frank how much trouble [3377.3] Jack: would I get [3378.1] Jack: for the ferry video [3383.98] Jack: it looks worse [3384.78] Jack: than it was [3385.98] Frank: oh yeah [3386.54] Jack: but I mean you literally [3388.22] Jack: have permission [3389.42] Tony: yeah you got told [3390.7] Tony: it was okay [3392.94] Tony: he's going to put that up [3394.14] Tony: three years too late [3396.38] Tony: oh it's outside [3398.22] Tony: yeah but it was three years ago [3400.54] Tony: it wasn't three years ago [3402.3] Tony: I'm at exaggerating [3403.58] Tony: it was like last year [3406.22] Tony: but this is your editing skills [3408.62] Tony: like you go and fly somewhere [3410.62] Tony: and a year later [3411.58] Tony: you might or might not [3413.02] Tony: put the video up [3415.82] Jack: fine I won't [3417.1] Tony: just having a dig [3418.22] Tony: just put it up [3419.18] Tony: Jack it's fine [3420.06] Tony: really supportive [3421.26] Jack: Frank [3422.54] Curry: drop the chair out [3426.3] Curry: to add to the point [3427.34] Curry: but I did offer [3428.78] Curry: to do the editing [3430.22] Curry: for your mavic not vavic video [3432.38] Curry: but all you had to give me [3434.62] Curry: was a short voiceover [3436.7] Curry: of what you did [3438.46] Curry: but you didn't [3439.66] Jack: arrange your time [3440.54] Jack: and I'll do it with you [3442.3] Curry: you don't need to deal with me [3444.06] Curry: because I don't know [3444.94] Curry: you just have to describe [3446.78] Curry: what you did [3448.62] Curry: what from memory [3450.78] Curry: yes [3451.26] Curry: well you write some notes [3452.46] Curry: if you want [3454.78] Tony: and you got that back book [3456.22] Tony: you can go and have a look in [3458.7] Jack: it was below [3459.58] Jack: but no [3462.06] Tony: for god's sake [3463.1] Tony: I can tell you [3464.14] Tony: I'll do a voiceover [3465.5] Tony: if you want [3466.06] Tony: I know I was there [3467.82] Tony: why don't you [3468.54] Curry: as an experiment Jack [3469.82] Curry: just send all your footage [3471.58] Curry: to Fiverr [3473.1] Curry: and find someone that says [3474.22] Curry: I will edit a epic drone video [3476.38] Curry: for you [3476.78] Curry: and see what comes back [3478.7] Curry: oh my god [3480.78] Tony: make a good video of the video [3482.86] Tony: but then that's two videos [3484.14] Tony: so that'll be two years [3486.3] Jack: yeah [3488.06] Jack: so [3489.2] Jack: don't have a net high [3490.4] Jack: out there [3490.72] Tony: 20 23 [3492.56] Tony: Jack's videos are coming out [3495.44] Jack: it'd be the only source of entertainment [3498.64] Jack: we'll never leave [3500.64] Curry: I just thought Jack [3501.44] Curry: not putting out any videos [3502.64] Curry: who's winning on the subscriber [3504.08] Curry: count between Jack and Tony [3506.08] Tony: I've still got 940 [3509.28] Jack: and I'm on 900 [3511.84] Tony: me then [3513.76] Tony: yay [3514.24] Jack: slim lead [3515.04] Tony: I still can't get to 1000 [3516.72] Tony: it just gets to 940 [3518.24] Tony: and then goes crap [3520.24] Tony: come some come back [3521.6] Tony: some go [3522.32] Tony: some gosh [3522.96] Tony: just [3525.2] Frank: every time [3526.16] Frank: either of you release a video [3528.64] Frank: you lose subscribers [3529.92] Frank: and the other one gains some [3531.36] Tony: yeah pretty much so [3533.68] Tony: I will release a video this Sunday [3536.16] Tony: and lose subscribers [3537.44] Tony: and Jack will gain them [3542.64] Tony: yes [3543.84] Tony: I'll get 1000 [3544.88] Tony: you wait and see [3545.92] Jack: you're not allowed to buy them [3551.04] Jack: I haven't [3552.64] Jack: yes everyone I've unsubscribed [3554.64] Jack: Tony [3557.12] Tony: you care if you want [3558.4] Tony: I don't care [3560.64] Tony: I still want to beat him though [3562.88] Tony: so [3568.61] Tony: so the other thing to talk about [3569.73] Tony: 100 000 subscribers [3571.73] Tony: how many you've got now paying less [3573.25] Tony: you've got loads [3574.05] Tony: haven't you got [3575.57] Lee: a little [3576.61] Lee: 26 000 [3578.61] Lee: and didn't change [3579.89] Lee: something like that [3582.77] Tony: but you're interesting [3584.05] Tony: and and teach people stuff [3585.73] Tony: mine's just [3586.69] Tony: literally just videos [3587.81] Tony: and that's it [3589.25] Frank: very securely a celebrity [3591.09] Frank: by the advertising standards [3592.45] Frank: or authorities [3593.73] Frank: metric [3594.21] Frank: yeah 100 000 [3595.17] Frank: you're a slim [3596.69] Frank: are you really [3599.41] Lee: I wouldn't [3601.73] Lee: I know something that was with [3602.85] Lee: 100 000 [3603.65] Lee: I wouldn't [3604.13] Lee: I definitely wouldn't use that metric [3606.77] Jack: you know [3607.33] Jack: you know like we did that video [3609.49] Jack: where we redid the [3612.29] Jack: how to fix stuff [3613.33] Jack: blah blah blah [3614.77] Lee: and can we talk about that briefly [3617.17] Lee: because it hasn't got many views [3619.09] Lee: and so for those of you [3620.93] Lee: who might have watched [3622.13] Lee: the Mini Airshow stuff [3623.57] Lee: there was a segment [3624.45] Lee: that Jack was doing [3625.49] Lee: that got a bit crunched [3626.77] Lee: with all the the timings [3628.93] Lee: where Jack was talking about [3630.37] Lee: how to troubleshoot [3631.17] Lee: and fix stuff [3633.01] Lee: and Jack and I redid it [3635.97] Lee: it ended up being about 40 minutes [3637.57] Lee: didn't it 40 45 minutes [3638.85] Lee: something like that [3642.13] Lee: probably more in the style [3643.41] Lee: of this kind of chatty [3645.49] Lee: rather than like a normal [3646.85] Lee: painless 360 video [3647.97] Lee: because it wasn't heavily edited [3649.09] Lee: it's just me and Jack [3649.89] Lee: just having a chat about stuff [3651.57] Lee: but it is on [3653.81] Lee: on the Mini Airshow website [3655.65] Lee: I haven't published it [3656.45] Lee: on the channel [3657.33] Lee: but it's but Jack was actually [3659.57] Lee: talking about [3660.05] Lee: some really really cool stuff [3661.73] Lee: about how he fixes multirotors [3664.77] Lee: and how to go about it [3666.05] Lee: so if you're interested [3667.41] Lee: or you're a bit bored [3668.21] Lee: and you kind of want to [3669.49] Lee: dip yourself into the world [3670.93] Lee: of multirotor fixing stuff [3672.77] Lee: for 45 minutes [3673.81] Lee: go and have a look [3674.29] Lee: at the Mini Airshow site [3675.49] Lee: because it's on there [3676.53] Lee: actually in the agenda [3678.37] Lee: in the watch again [3679.49] Tony: is that on both of your channels [3681.25] Tony: so you can get more subscribers? [3684.05] Jack: No [3685.33] Jack: I don't even think [3685.89] Jack: my channel's listed in it [3689.97] Jack: did you like that [3691.09] Jack: you know the bit [3691.57] Jack: when you disappeared [3692.45] Jack: did you like the ongoing commentary [3694.37] Jack: when you edited it [3695.65] Jack: yeah I've never heard of it [3698.21] Lee: yeah so there's one bit [3699.33] Lee: where my doorbell [3700.13] Lee: went in the middle right [3701.09] Lee: because of course [3701.89] Lee: the postman kind of lurks [3703.25] Lee: at the bottom of the garden [3704.53] Lee: waiting for me to start recording [3705.81] Lee: I mean you guys [3706.37] Lee: probably have the same thing [3707.49] Lee: you kind of [3708.05] Lee: you get in a coma [3708.77] Tony: Jack arranges people [3710.37] Tony: to come around [3711.33] Tony: on a Thursday evening [3712.61] Tony: I'm actually surprised [3713.65] Tony: no one's turned up tonight [3714.85] Tony: it's normally pizza deliveries [3716.53] Tony: or he's shopping [3718.61] Lee: yeah it's the same thing [3719.49] Lee: so in the middle of this [3723.17] Lee: we've got a really good flow [3724.37] Lee: going talking about [3725.33] Lee: I don't know troubleshooting ESCs [3726.85] Lee: or something [3728.37] Lee: the thing goes [3729.09] Lee: so I had to go [3729.65] Lee: oh hang on Jack [3730.37] Lee: so I didn't stop the recording [3731.81] Lee: I put my headphones down [3733.09] Lee: and pootled off [3735.01] Lee: and then came back [3735.81] Lee: and there's Jack sitting there [3737.01] Lee: with the most angelic look [3738.29] Lee: on his face [3738.93] Lee: in that kind of [3739.73] Lee: I've not been doing anything [3742.45] Lee: and we picked it up [3743.57] Lee: and it's only when I edited [3744.93] Lee: I realised that [3745.57] Lee: as soon as I walked out the door [3747.25] Lee: he was just [3748.13] Lee: he was off on one [3749.49] Lee: completely off on one [3751.09] Lee: so it was about five minutes [3752.37] Lee: of complete rambling craziness [3755.57] Lee: that I had to get my arse out [3757.41] Jack: start twerking [3762.21] Lee: yeah I should have known better really [3764.45] Lee: but yeah [3765.73] Lee: but it's only when editing [3766.93] Lee: I got to that bit [3767.73] Lee: and I was like [3769.41] Lee: that's a sin [3770.21] Lee: watch it [3771.57] Lee: that might get released [3772.69] Lee: that might get released [3773.65] Lee: as a bonus of a [3776.85] Jack: you were getting monetised [3778.21] Lee: and that I'd probably get a strike [3781.41] Lee: of you know [3781.97] Lee: yeah content [3783.33] Lee: yeah but now that's really [3786.21] Tony: when Jay [3786.85] Tony: did he just disappear [3787.89] Tony: or did he say goodbye [3788.69] Tony: I think he got bored [3790.05] Frank: his internet died [3791.41] Frank: he's got a yellow light [3792.45] Frank: on his router [3794.45] Lee: oh the dreaded yellow light [3796.45] Lee: he's not on Virgin is he [3799.17] Tony: mine's white light on Virgin [3800.93] Tony: if it's good [3801.73] Tony: and green if it's bad [3805.33] Curry: yeah I've got that as well [3806.69] Curry: yeah white light [3807.49] Curry: is good for some reason [3808.85] Curry: I think red light's worse [3812.13] Lee: so we should have all been together [3813.49] Lee: at the weekend anyway [3814.53] Lee: at the um at Western Park [3816.77] Lee: shouldn't we [3817.49] Lee: we all yeah [3818.45] Lee: we all missed out on that [3819.49] Lee: it's everyone going [3820.45] Lee: on the rescheduled dates [3822.13] Lee: everyone booked them out [3825.81] Tony: this October isn't it [3827.65] Tony: at the moment [3828.69] Tony: yeah it's going to be cold [3830.77] Tony: and oh god [3832.53] Jack: if I have to eat Nutella [3835.49] Jack: like snuggled up to Frank [3837.65] Jack: for bodyboard and flight penguins [3841.01] Jack: whilst our tears [3842.61] Jack: freeze to our faces [3844.93] Jack: I'm going to kill [3846.13] Jack: cook and eat Tony [3848.85] Frank: what Jack is referring to here [3850.53] Frank: is a call back [3851.57] Frank: about three or four years [3854.53] Frank: back to Ragley Hall [3856.61] Frank: when there was the British [3857.81] Frank: FPV Racing Association's [3859.89] Frank: British Championships [3861.65] Frank: at Ragley Hall [3863.65] Frank: we went and attended [3865.49] Frank: uh and it was really cold [3869.33] Frank: and really wet [3870.45] Frank: and miserable [3871.89] Frank: and everything had gone away [3874.21] Frank: nothing was flying [3875.73] Frank: we were just sat in my car [3877.33] Frank: I was handing out emergency blankets [3879.33] Frank: because I had a bag of emergency blankets [3881.01] Frank: because I'm me [3882.13] Frank: and everyone [3883.41] Frank: that was the only thing [3887.73] Frank: it was soaked [3889.01] Frank: and eating Nutella out the jar [3891.33] Frank: I think [3892.37] Tony: oh [3895.89] Tony: oh yeah I'm definitely going [3897.41] Tony: you've warmed my cockles [3899.01] Tony: I'm down there [3900.85] Frank: and uh Jack had a go [3902.77] Frank: because they were having a go [3904.53] Frank: a freestyle kind of thing [3906.61] Frank: I think [3907.25] Frank: was why Jack was there [3909.17] Frank: but no because you had to go [3910.53] Frank: around the course as well [3911.49] Frank: for some reason [3912.13] Frank: I can't [3912.69] Jack: yeah you had to guide me [3916.21] Frank: like tell you go left [3917.73] Frank: go right go up go down [3919.33] Frank: now you're going backwards [3921.73] Frank: eventually we got you around the track [3924.05] Jack: yeah and then I qualified [3927.17] Jack: lapwise [3928.13] Jack: and then the next thing [3929.57] Jack: I got bored [3930.21] Jack: and just started freestyling [3931.97] Jack: and they shouted at me [3934.69] Jack: yeah then they shouted at me [3936.61] Jack: and oh nightmare [3941.17] Lee: yeah so the answer is maybe maybe not [3943.73] Lee: and if we do [3944.45] Lee: well then we're all going to be wearing wellies [3946.21] Lee: and and parka coats [3947.89] Tony: it's going to be cold [3948.93] Tony: it's going to be horrible [3950.45] Curry: see what's going to be [3953.25] Tony: it might be worth [3954.29] Tony: it might be worth a run up there [3955.81] Tony: it'd be my birthday [3957.01] Tony: so you can all wish me happy birthday [3959.41] Tony: if we do go [3960.85] Lee: that would be [3962.45] Lee: it'd just be nice [3963.17] Lee: to hang out with people [3964.45] Lee: and you know [3967.09] Frank: curry house [3967.81] Frank: near western park [3969.33] Frank: I'm sure [3970.69] Tony: now we're talking [3971.65] Tony: now we're talking [3974.61] Tony: I'm going now [3977.17] Tony: where's my back book [3979.81] Jack: wait you don't need it anymore [3982.05] Jack: are you going to play hide the sausage [3985.17] Tony: not for another two weeks [3987.25] Frank: I'm just thinking in October [3988.77] Frank: because it will get dark so early [3990.21] Frank: so they'll have used up the fireworks [3991.65] Frank: by like six o'clock [3992.85] Frank: weren't they [3993.33] Frank: so then we can just go off [3994.77] Frank: and find a curry house after that [3996.45] Lee: yeah or they might put on [3998.05] Lee: some kind of night flying stuff [3999.49] Lee: which could be quite fun to watch [4000.93] Lee: because that could be a good laugh [4002.21] Tony: it's always nice to watch [4003.57] Tony: the night flying stuff [4005.89] Tony: we could like [4006.69] Tony: Jack Jack [4007.41] Tony: take your fireworks [4008.45] Tony: get some donation [4009.41] Tony: and light your nipples [4011.09] UNKNOWN: yeah [4012.37] Frank: I will campfire [4014.77] Tony: and jacket potatoes [4017.41] Tony: sounds good [4018.21] Tony: I'm actually want to go now [4021.33] Jack: will curry attend though [4023.33] Jack: will curry attend [4025.41] Jack: can we get a caravan [4026.85] Jack: at the end of the drive [4028.53] Jack: soundproof [4032.37] Jack: you've been in the house for six months [4034.69] Jack: she'd love to get rid of you [4036.13] Curry: what's happening around that time [4039.81] Jack: I'm sorry if he's never going to go to school again [4042.13] Jack: she'll be too old [4045.89] Jack: she's got to be you [4046.77] Frank: I see no problem [4048.53] Frank: she'll have been employed by for three years [4050.93] Frank: by the time she gets to leave [4052.69] Jack: yeah and probably be an auntie [4057.01] Tony: and if we go [4060.13] Tony: I should have heard that Jack [4062.21] Tony: government breeding [4063.81] Tony: if we go the best thing about going [4067.33] Tony: is meeting people who watch us [4071.25] Jack: yeah [4072.61] Jack: and then apologizing [4074.29] Tony: and then saying sorry [4076.13] Tony: this is my friend Jack [4077.41] Curry: I spent most of my couple of weeks going outside [4081.97] Curry: trying not to meet people [4083.25] Curry: and crossing over the streets [4084.61] Curry: and doing things like that [4085.65] Curry: it's a bit of a mind shift [4087.89] Curry: to actually meet people on purpose [4090.53] Frank: that's a regular time to meet and greet [4095.33] Frank: at the VIP area in the in the beer tent [4097.89] Frank: because we know that's not guarded or anything [4099.73] Frank: and you can just wander in [4100.69] Frank: so we'll just set our [4102.37] Frank: yeah [4103.25] Tony: just set our stall out in the corner [4104.93] Tony: yeah I slipped in 50 quid [4108.77] Jack: shut up really [4112.05] Lee: well for that for that thing [4113.33] Lee: where we did in the corner of that beer tent [4117.97] Curry: well I still wanted [4119.89] Curry: it's literally Tony's solution for every event [4122.37] Curry: is slipping someone 50 quid [4125.81] Jack: amazing [4129.33] Jack: that is so funny [4132.13] Jack: oh my god [4133.01] Jack: bombshell [4134.13] NJ: yeah [4135.09] Jack: oh my god [4135.65] Jack: I can't believe you paid 50 quid for that [4137.89] Jack: we were in there five seconds [4141.09] Lee: oh my god [4141.81] Lee: but that's because we all we all felt bad [4144.45] Lee: that we were taking up a quarter of the beer tent [4146.69] Lee: because we thought we were just taking the Mickey [4148.61] Lee: if we'd have known you'd slipped in 50 quid [4150.53] Lee: we'd have taken full advantage [4152.45] Jack: oh my god [4153.49] Jack: all right well thank you [4154.53] Jack: you've been listening to Let's Drone Out [4156.77] Jack: hope you've enjoyed the actual drone content [4159.41] Jack: we're trying to do more of that [4161.73] Jack: because the other stuff that we do sucks [4165.73] Jack: I've been bribed to the fly [4167.73] Jack: I've been joined by my little Tony [4170.61] Jack: for sure [4171.97] Jack: Andrew Stashrank [4173.57] Jack: bye [4174.93] Jack: the almighty painless c60 [4177.65] Jack: bye bye [4178.69] Jack: and everyone's favorite [4180.29] Jack: kuriken [4182.05] Jack: goodbye [4183.89] Jack: thank you good night [4184.93] Jack: telemetry lost
