[0.0] Curry: Welcome to Let's Drone Out, the original and best drone themed podcast.
[5.0] Curry: We record the show live on the Thursday night on youtube.com forward slash Let's Drone Out
[10.0] Curry: and our lovely patrons help with the editing costs.
[12.0] Curry: These are...
[13.0] Curry: Wacky Wes
[14.0] Curry: Mikey Dread
[15.0] Curry: Art Faulkner
[17.0] Curry: Carlos Campos
[19.0] Curry: Thank you
[20.0] Tony: Now let the trees recover
[21.0] Tony: Let's Drone Out now
[51.45] Frank: Good evening and welcome to Let's Drone Out episode 259
[56.45] Frank: We were hoping to have on both Jack and Dominic Clifton this evening
[62.45] Frank: Of which neither have turned up currently
[66.45] Frank: So we're waiting to hear what the story is
[69.45] Frank: Apparently it may involve stairs
[72.45] Frank: And an ambulance
[74.45] Frank: Who's thrown who down the stairs? We don't know
[79.45] Frank: We'll find out later
[81.45] Frank: Stay tuned
[82.45] Frank: In the meantime
[84.45] Frank: Have either of you been flying?
[88.45] Frank: Yes
[89.45] Curry: No
[90.45] Curry: I did
[92.45] Curry: I win
[93.45] Curry: What do I win?
[94.45] Curry: I was flying
[97.45] Curry: One review quad which is called the Jilang 75 Anger
[102.45] Curry: Which I think has possibly the best name of any flying machine I've had
[106.45] Curry: And the rebuild of the Lao free frame that I broke the other day and I've put in a different frame
[113.45] Curry: And only flew six batteries
[115.45] Curry: And I did post a picture of what my back looked like after walking back and forth to the field
[119.45] Curry: And it was not pretty
[120.45] Curry: It was very hot
[122.45] Curry: Indeed
[124.45] Frank: Yeah
[125.45] Frank: It's not weather for going on long strenuous hikes through unsheltered paths
[134.45] Frank: Is it at the moment?
[135.45] Curry: It's not very good now
[137.45] Frank: We're stringing Wes together it turns out
[139.45] Frank: But we'll see
[142.45] Frank: Yeah we're
[144.45] Tony: I can hear a baby crying or something
[146.45] Frank: Yeah I know
[148.45] Curry: It's just another random murder in London outside Frank's window
[152.45] Curry: What stuff happens outside my window?
[155.45] Curry: If someone's not being shanked outside his window it's not a day with a wire
[163.45] Curry: Basically yeah
[165.45] Curry: Hang on I've got a question from Plan
[167.45] Curry: Is the Jilang the 6S?
[169.45] Curry: No it is a 4S wook
[171.45] Curry: Hang on if I've got it here
[173.45] Curry: Jilang
[174.45] Curry: Jilang
[175.45] Tony: Such brilliant company names
[179.79] Tony: So Jack
[181.79] Tony: I think Jack said he'll be on the toilet
[184.79] Tony: And he will tell us what's happened to our guests
[189.79] Tony: Like are we just pretending that we get guests on
[194.79] Tony: And then when it comes to it
[196.79] Tony: Something happens and they say
[198.79] Tony: I'm not coming on Jack I hate you
[202.79] Curry: Or they're just throwing themselves down the stairs
[205.79] Curry: In some effort to say I didn't cancel
[208.79] Curry: I had to go to the hospital instead
[210.79] Curry: One of the two
[211.79] Tony: Apparently Tommy didn't turn up for the other UK
[216.79] Tony: The second best podcast
[219.79] Tony: So you know
[222.79] Tony: Okay we're going to start a little
[224.79] Frank: We're going there are we?
[226.79] Curry: I can't put it as real as them
[228.79] Curry: Keep being pariahs
[230.79] Curry: That's our new mission statement
[233.79] Frank: Mr Shady for his testimonial I guess today
[237.79] Frank: Very appreciated, thank you very much
[241.79] Curry: I think he basically told them that this is even less organised than us
[246.79] Curry: And at that point they deleted the stream from their channel
[250.79] Curry: Because as soon as you get compared disfavorably to us
[254.79] Curry: You know you've really sunk to the bottom
[256.79] Curry: And if you call all content away
[260.79] Frank: Ah yeah
[261.79] Tony: Of course Viking Dreadsane
[263.79] Tony: There's an elephant poking its nose through your window
[266.79] Tony: Hang on
[267.79] Curry: I feel I have to explain this one
[270.79] Curry: Clown is going about the ones that are running the
[273.79] Curry: These are the tiny 6S lipos
[275.79] Curry: That is one called the
[277.79] Curry: So I was just filming with this one earlier today
[283.16] Curry: This is another exciting quad that they sent me
[287.16] Curry: To film with those little 6S lipos
[289.16] Curry: Called the Petrel 132
[291.16] Curry: However they sent me the 4S version
[294.16] Curry: Petrel
[296.16] Curry: So this has got 3800 kV motors
[298.16] Curry: And will blow up on a 6S battery
[300.16] Curry: But the only difference is the motors
[302.16] Curry: So HCLRC is sending me new motors
[304.16] Curry: So I can check it out properly with a 6S
[306.16] Curry: But I can
[307.16] Curry: I'll fly this 4S
[308.16] Curry: See what it's like
[309.16] Curry: Then I'll fly on 6S
[310.16] Curry: And see what it's like
[311.16] Tony: Yeah
[313.16] Tony: I am flying through
[314.16] Tony: I want to fly this weekend
[315.16] Tony: But I don't know what the weather's going to be like
[317.16] Tony: It keeps threatening to rain
[318.16] Tony: I haven't seen any rain yet
[319.16] Tony: Apart from my brother
[320.16] Tony: Sent a video of him on the M25
[324.16] Tony: And it was literally like a river
[327.16] Tony: But I haven't seen any
[328.16] Tony: So I'm hoping it will stay dry enough
[331.16] Tony: To do some flying this weekend
[333.16] Curry: I think it probably
[334.16] Curry: Either it's going to absolutely belt it down randomly
[339.16] Curry: Without any prior knowledge
[340.16] Curry: Or it's going to be okay
[341.16] Curry: So you might as well just go
[343.16] Curry: And if lightning comes
[344.16] Curry: That would be an interesting experiment
[346.16] Tony: Well I've got one of those quads
[348.16] Tony: I'm just thinking that
[349.16] Curry: Basically I'm here to try and market
[352.16] Curry: Tony and Jack's thumbnails
[355.16] Curry: And I've just got one
[356.16] Curry: I flew my quad in the rain
[358.16] Curry: You won't believe what happened next
[360.16] Curry: You can go with that one
[362.16] Curry: Don't talk
[363.16] Curry: I have a little exterior camera
[364.16] Curry: So when you get lit up by the lightning
[366.16] Curry: You can use your controller
[371.16] Curry: You need the old 35 Meg days
[373.16] Curry: Don't you just pull the big aerial out
[375.16] Curry: And we'll be in the sky
[377.16] Tony: I go home when I
[379.16] Tony: You know my poles are all carbon
[382.16] Tony: When I'm cleaning windows
[383.16] Tony: And there's a thunderstorm
[384.16] Tony: I literally pack up and go home anyway
[387.16] Tony: So yeah, not good
[391.16] Tony: So what was we talking about earlier?
[394.16] Curry: We were talking about
[395.16] Curry: We were talking about cine whoops
[397.16] Curry: Yes
[398.16] Curry: But like the big ones
[399.16] Curry: They're sort of the three inches
[400.16] Curry: Like these guys, don't we?
[401.16] Tony: There's new props out
[403.16] Tony: I can't remember
[404.16] Tony: Name some prop manufacturers
[405.16] Tony: And I'll say yes
[406.16] Tony: And I'll tell you who it was
[408.16] Tony: Gemfan
[409.16] Tony: Yes
[412.16] Tony: Well done
[413.16] Tony: That's good
[414.16] Curry: Because my next one was going to be Tesco
[415.16] Curry: Because I couldn't think of anything
[417.16] Tony: Gemfan have got a new prop out
[419.16] Tony: For the three inch
[421.16] Tony: It's a five bladed
[423.16] Tony: And it's supposed to like literally cut the
[426.16] Tony: Cut the sound in half
[427.16] Tony: Because they're so noisy aren't they?
[429.16] Tony: I don't know what they're going to be like
[431.16] Tony: How less efficient
[432.16] Curry: It kind of feels like
[434.16] Curry: More blades should equal more sound
[437.16] Curry: Let's ask the physics expert
[439.16] Frank: Frank
[443.16] Frank: I guess because you're not moving them as fast
[449.16] Frank: Or something
[450.16] Frank: So you reduced the tip speed
[451.16] Frank: Tip speed is important
[453.16] Frank: Fraser has seen in the chat
[454.16] Frank: We'll talk more about tip speed
[456.16] Tony: That sounds like a late night chat
[463.16] Curry: Can, does this mean the pitch is much less
[465.16] Curry: Because we were just talking
[467.16] Curry: Before we came on air
[468.16] Curry: And decided we should have this conversation on air
[470.16] Curry: I was talking about this one overheating
[472.16] Curry: And Tony you were saying your motors get quite hot
[475.16] Curry: And because we're talking about like
[477.16] Curry: Quite fast props
[479.16] Curry: In a stupidly heavy thing for the size
[481.16] Curry: So I'm thinking if it's five bladed
[483.16] Curry: Surely you need to reduce the pitch quite a lot
[486.16] Curry: For it to not burn up
[489.16] Curry: Basically
[490.16] Tony: Yeah well I'm hoping
[491.16] Tony: Well apparently he's cut the sound in half
[493.16] Tony: So I'm going to try some
[495.16] Tony: I think I'm going to order some next time
[496.16] Tony: I need to order some stuff
[498.16] Tony: Yeah we've I think we've asked
[501.16] Tony: Tony cake to come on
[503.16] Tony: I know you've been on
[506.16] Tony: I think it went on
[508.16] Curry: Joshua Bardwell didn't he?
[510.16] Curry: He was with Bardwell
[511.16] Tony: Yeah
[512.16] Tony: So he probably thinks that's enough
[514.16] Tony: But we will try again
[517.16] Tony: We will try again
[519.16] Curry: I personally messaged him on Facebook
[521.16] Curry: And he has ignored me as well
[525.16] Curry: Just to show how much I bring to it
[527.16] Tony: Cake or Bardwell
[529.16] Frank: We have had a request
[533.16] Frank: For someone to be a guest
[535.16] Frank: We've had an email
[536.16] Frank: From someone saying
[537.16] Frank: Can I come on your show?
[539.16] Frank: Really? What?
[541.16] Frank: I know
[542.16] Frank: Have they seen this show?
[543.16] Frank: I'm not sure they have
[545.16] Frank: So let's see how that goes
[546.16] Tony: Okay have you got any
[548.16] Tony: Do we know who it is or?
[550.16] Frank: Yes-ish
[552.16] Frank: Like I only know
[555.16] Frank: For unusual reasons
[557.16] Frank: But it's not
[559.16] Frank: I don't think they're kind of FPV crowd-ish
[562.16] Frank: But we'll see
[564.16] Frank: It could be entertaining
[565.16] Frank: Okay
[566.16] Curry: Can you tell us who it is
[568.16] Curry: Or am I going to have to just search through the email account now and find it?
[571.16] Frank: It's only like the penultimate email I think
[574.16] Frank: But yeah
[576.16] Frank: It could be interesting
[578.16] Frank: But yes, you can email the show
[580.16] Frank: That email is from
[582.16] Frank: Gmail.com
[583.16] Tony: People actually email
[585.16] Frank: You should email the show
[587.16] Frank: You should send in your FPV horror stories
[590.16] Frank: Collecting for the end of October
[592.16] Frank: For our Halloween special
[594.16] Frank: Where we will be going over the FPV horror stories that you send in to us
[598.16] Frank: And Jack has a lovely special one
[600.16] Frank: That he has previewed for the patrons
[604.16] Frank: And already we are
[607.16] Frank: Yeah, a bit dubious about that one
[609.16] Frank: We'll see
[612.16] Frank: But yes, if you send in your FPV horror stories
[615.16] Frank: To letstroneout.com
[618.16] Frank: We will collect them up for the
[620.16] Tony: Can you explain more
[622.16] Tony: What have you got to send in of your horror story
[624.16] Tony: Just a literal story written down
[627.16] Tony: Or can you...
[629.16] Frank: Ideally
[630.16] Frank: So we've actually had an entry already
[634.16] Frank: I believe
[635.16] Frank: Okay
[636.16] Frank: And this is going to be
[638.16] Frank: There he is
[639.16] Frank: Hello
[640.16] Jack: I am very sorry
[642.16] Jack: For my
[643.16] Jack: Lateness
[644.16] Jack: I am
[645.16] Jack: Very loud
[647.16] Curry: Can I just say
[649.16] Curry: I've read the email
[650.16] Curry: And I'm extremely concerned
[652.16] Curry: That we haven't seen the show
[655.16] Curry: I mean
[656.16] Curry: The guy didn't even send his own email
[657.16] Curry: He got an assistant to do it
[658.16] Curry: This is not looking good
[660.16] Frank: I think this will be amazing
[662.16] Frank: I think I might have to die off that now
[665.16] Frank: Do almost horror stories count too?
[668.16] Frank: Absolutely
[669.16] Frank: Near misses
[670.16] Frank: Excellent
[671.16] Frank: We want to hear all of these
[673.16] Frank: Anything that will get us all
[675.16] Frank: Cringing and wincing
[677.16] Frank: Is this for our room
[679.16] Frank: October
[680.16] Frank: Yes
[681.16] Frank: For Halloween special that we're going to do
[683.16] Curry: You can probably expect me to talk somewhat
[685.16] Curry: About where was your beeper
[687.16] Curry: During all these stories I expect
[689.16] Curry: Because that's just going to happen isn't it?
[691.16] Tony: So Jack can you tell us what happened to our guests
[693.16] Tony: You know we tell people
[695.16] Tony: We're getting these people on and
[697.16] Tony: Then stuff happens
[699.16] Tony: What's happening today?
[701.16] Jack: He fell down the stairs
[703.16] Jack: Working in
[705.16] Jack: Rhonda
[707.16] Jack: And he's been up and down ladders all day
[709.16] Jack: And then he comes home to do the show
[711.16] Jack: And he calls me about 20 minutes
[713.16] Jack: For the show
[715.16] Jack: And he's
[717.16] Jack: Called me on Discord
[719.16] Jack: And he's fallen down the stairs
[721.16] Tony: Right, he's such an old man
[723.16] Jack: Thing to do
[724.16] Jack: Back
[725.16] Jack: And all that
[726.16] Jack: So yeah
[727.16] Jack: I hope you get better
[729.16] Jack: And yeah he seems like I'm getting an ambulance
[731.16] Jack: And stuff
[733.16] Tony: So it's probably not joking then
[735.16] Jack: No, no it's not a joke
[737.16] Jack: It's more people
[739.16] Tony: The excuse is valid
[741.16] Curry: Because we did think you know
[743.16] Curry: Has he thrown himself down the stairs
[746.16] Curry: Or has he in fact just
[748.16] Curry: Lay on the carpet
[749.16] Curry: Take a picture of himself and say
[751.16] Curry: Jack I'm sorry I've fallen down the stairs
[753.16] Curry: I can't come on
[754.16] Curry: Both of which are awesome excuses
[756.16] Curry: But I feel slightly bad
[759.16] Curry: But I did show it to my wife
[760.16] Curry: And she said no he's taken a piss
[762.16] Curry: No one takes a picture of themselves
[764.16] Curry: Having fallen down the stairs
[767.16] Curry: So
[768.16] Tony: Next week
[769.16] Tony: Have we got a guest on
[770.16] Tony: Or anything happening next week Frank
[772.16] Tony: And are they going to turn up
[773.16] Tony: Or fall out the sky
[774.16] Tony: Or whatever
[776.16] Tony: You tell me
[778.16] Tony: Is it next week?
[780.16] Tony: Is it?
[781.16] Tony: It's our fifth
[782.16] Tony: It's our fifth year anniversary
[784.16] Frank: Yeah
[785.16] Frank: And we've got
[786.16] Frank: Five years of let's turn out
[788.16] Frank: Weekly
[789.16] Frank: Weekly nonsense
[791.16] Curry: There they are
[792.16] Curry: These are the props
[793.16] Curry: Tony was on about
[794.16] Curry: The five bladers
[795.16] Curry: Yep
[797.16] Curry: And they are
[798.16] Curry: It doesn't
[799.16] Curry: It doesn't say what the pitch is
[800.16] Curry: Don't seem to see anywhere
[801.16] Jack: I'm very disappointed
[803.16] Jack: I didn't get to play Dementia
[806.16] Jack: Let's play Dementia
[807.16] Jack: When he was like
[809.16] Jack: You know
[810.16] Jack: HQ
[811.16] Jack: Gemfan
[812.16] Jack: Dal
[813.16] Tony: Well
[814.16] Tony: I already got it right away
[815.16] Curry: I got it on my first try
[817.16] Curry: Because that was the only
[818.16] Curry: Actually literally
[819.16] Curry: I could think of
[820.16] Curry: As I said my next guest
[821.16] Curry: Was going to be Tesco's
[822.16] Curry: One stop
[823.16] Curry: Prime art
[824.16] Curry: That's all I could think of
[826.16] Tony: So yeah it's going to be
[827.16] Tony: Our five year anniversary
[829.16] Tony: Next Thursday so
[831.16] Jack: Have we figured anything out for her?
[833.16] Frank: Yes
[834.16] Frank: To reward all our lovely listeners
[836.16] Frank: For putting up with us
[837.16] Frank: For the past five years
[839.16] Frank: Tony's arranged some special guests
[841.16] Frank: So you can listen to them
[842.16] Frank: Instead of us
[843.16] Tony: Yep
[844.16] Jack: Does that mean
[845.16] Jack: I don't have to be here?
[848.16] Tony: Well it's your fifth year anniversary Jack
[852.16] Tony: You have to be here
[853.16] Tony: You can't not be here for that
[855.16] Tony: You can do it from the toilet if you want
[858.16] Jack: Yeah it's getting that way
[861.16] Jack: It really is
[863.16] Tony: Five years I can't believe it
[865.16] Tony: Thanks for everyone
[867.16] Tony: Who in the chat has been here for five years do you reckon?
[871.16] Jack: Zero
[872.16] Jack: For a start
[873.16] Tony: Yeah zero definitely
[875.16] Tony: He's been here five years
[876.16] Tony: Probably Richard Boric
[878.16] Tony: Hold on
[879.16] Frank: I reckon
[880.16] Frank: Sorry my channel wouldn't just come out
[882.16] Frank: Can anyone
[883.16] Tony: Can anyone
[884.16] Tony: Oh dear
[885.16] Tony: Can anyone go back to the first
[889.16] Tony: And see if we have any comments from anyone
[892.16] Tony: Jack it'd be on your channel wouldn't it?
[896.16] Jack: No because back then it didn't save the chat
[899.16] Jack: Remember?
[901.16] Jack: That's how far we've come
[903.16] Jack: Where Google didn't have the power
[905.16] Jack: At first the chat didn't work
[908.16] Jack: When the Hangouts first started
[912.16] Jack: And then the chat did work
[915.16] Jack: And then it was never saved
[917.16] Jack: And that's why you had people
[919.16] Jack: You know on OBS squishing everything together
[924.16] Jack: And you know recording the chat
[929.16] Jack: Within the video
[932.16] Jack: So I don't know
[934.16] Jack: Unless we mentioned anyone on the legacy episodes
[939.16] Jack: Like I don't know whether you did any like shout outs or anything
[943.16] Jack: You know if you listened back to the early ones
[947.16] Jack: I remember zero being like one of our first mods
[950.16] Jack: And that's kind of stuck in three cases
[953.16] Tony: For me it's a big story
[955.16] Tony: We've got GE FPV I've been here from the start
[959.16] Tony: Hey Karen
[960.16] Tony: Couple of people for three years
[963.16] Tony: So Mikey Dred said who are the guests
[966.16] Tony: Right we've got
[968.16] Tony: It was going to be Girls Night 3
[970.16] Tony: So we've had very successful Girls Night
[973.16] Tony: Where we've got some
[975.16] Tony: Girls, Girls, Girls FPV pilots
[980.16] Tony: But
[981.16] Jack: It's going in a different direction there
[984.16] Tony: No
[986.16] Tony: We're going to have Girls Night 3
[989.16] Tony: It's going to come on and it's going to be
[992.16] Tony: Our fifth year anniversary as well
[994.16] Tony: So it's going to be
[996.16] Tony: A lot of people in the chat
[998.16] Tony: But it's just it's going to be fun
[1000.16] Tony: So yeah
[1001.16] Jack: Thank you for sorting that out
[1003.16] Tony: Yeah
[1004.16] Tony: We're going to have some girls on next week
[1007.16] Tony: And they pretty much are going to come on
[1009.16] Tony: Unless they'll fall down the stairs or
[1011.16] Jack: Shady
[1012.16] Jack: Yeah Shady was here for a while
[1014.16] Jack: And MCGations as well is old school
[1018.16] Tony: Yes very
[1019.16] Tony: Thanks for listening
[1020.16] Jack: Days about four
[1022.16] Jack: So
[1024.16] Tony: Wind's been here since half seven he said
[1026.16] Tony: It's not what we're talking about
[1028.16] Tony: Wind but cheers for being there early
[1030.16] Jack: So
[1032.16] Jack: Curry how's the HD FPV going?
[1035.16] Curry: It's still all in the boxes
[1037.16] Curry: Because I'm still waiting for the network adapters to arrive
[1040.16] Curry: As in the boxes because I have to film
[1043.16] Curry: Stuff
[1044.16] Curry: So I have to like hear other boxes before I actually do anything
[1047.16] Curry: I'll show you what the
[1049.16] Curry: For the crowd of people
[1052.79] Curry: Karen do you want to come on?
[1053.79] Curry: Here's a bunch of boxes
[1054.79] Curry: I have got two pi fours
[1056.79] Curry: Some zero cams
[1058.79] Curry: That's a pi zero
[1060.79] Curry: This is a screen and a cover for the screen
[1063.79] Curry: And yeah this should make at least
[1066.79] Curry: There you go
[1068.79] Curry: Two airpies and one ground station basically
[1073.79] Tony: That looks like too much effort to me
[1075.79] Tony: I just pressed went to the DJI store and just went
[1079.79] Tony: Yes please send that to me tomorrow
[1081.79] Tony: And it was here and I put it on and went
[1083.79] Tony: Yay!
[1084.79] Tony: That looks like too much work
[1086.79] Curry: So the DJI is available for people with lots of money
[1089.79] Curry: And practically no technical skills
[1091.79] Curry: That's good for you
[1092.79] Curry: For other people who like innovations
[1095.79] Curry: Who like getting behind hobbyists
[1097.79] Curry: Who don't like supporting monopolies
[1100.79] Curry: There is an open source solution for you
[1103.79] Jack: Tony will be the first one on his knees
[1106.79] Jack: To our new Chinese overlords
[1109.79] Curry: Well yeah he's getting programmed
[1112.79] Curry: There's been a terrible synchronized girls
[1115.79] Curry: Falling down the stairs accident
[1121.79] Jack: That's the point
[1122.79] Jack: I've got a HDMI Pi
[1124.79] Jack: Is that what screen you've got?
[1128.79] Jack: It's the official seven inch touch screen
[1131.79] Curry: Oh very nice
[1134.79] Curry: And that's HD as well
[1136.79] Curry: No it hasn't got full res on it
[1138.79] Curry: But there's two HDMI's out
[1140.79] Curry: I just wanted a portable screen that wasn't too big
[1143.79] Curry: So I could just see what was happening
[1145.79] Curry: And because the Pi 4's got two HDMI's out
[1148.79] Curry: You can use that as your general ground station
[1150.79] Curry: Which will record and you can take HDMI out to another device
[1153.79] Curry: Like HD goggles for example
[1156.79] Curry: Or a bigger screen if you want to
[1158.79] Curry: You can have 10 inch screens which are full HD
[1160.79] Curry: But that felt like you were wandering around with your TV
[1164.79] Tony: You've got to take your car somewhere
[1166.79] Tony: And put your TV in the boat
[1169.79] Tony: That's how I want it
[1170.79] Curry: That was the old days of flying
[1172.79] Curry: That would be quite cool
[1174.79] Tony: That would be quite cool wouldn't it
[1175.79] Tony: Just sitting there all watching a 50 inch TV
[1178.79] Curry: Of CRTs trying to film them in
[1180.79] Frank: If you're lost as to what Kerry was talking about a minute ago
[1183.79] Frank: See our previous episode on the open HD system
[1187.79] Frank: We're trying
[1189.79] Curry: But for some reason that guest didn't turn up
[1191.79] Curry: I had to fill in for him
[1193.79] Tony: He didn't fall down the stairs
[1195.79] Tony: He got struck by lightning
[1197.79] Curry: What would he say?
[1199.79] Curry: That was the previous time he was supposed to
[1201.79] Tony: I'm going to get a beer
[1202.79] Frank: Excuse me for a minute sorry
[1204.79] Frank: Well I will let everyone know some interesting news
[1208.79] Frank: So after the show this evening at 9 o'clock I believe
[1212.79] Frank: UK time on Thursday the 13th of August
[1215.79] Frank: Velocidrone are debuting their combat mode in an event
[1220.79] Frank: That they're going to stream at 9 o'clock tonight
[1224.79] Frank: Where I don't entirely see how it's going to work
[1227.79] Frank: But there seems to be like a bunch of different modes
[1229.79] Frank: Like capture the flag and things
[1231.79] Frank: So see how that kind of works out
[1235.79] Curry: I think they've just been stealing my ideas
[1237.79] Curry: Since I mentioned gamification
[1239.79] Curry: Suddenly all this stuff's appeared
[1242.79] Curry: You're welcome everybody
[1244.79] Curry: For your Velocidrone upgrades
[1246.79] Curry: Take full responsibility
[1248.79] Jack: Skyoats I have got a clock to build
[1253.79] Jack: I think I've got a countdown timer
[1255.79] Jack: I've got like one of the sweets
[1258.79] Jack: And AndyRC's just got to give the nod on
[1262.79] Jack: Yep I want to watch it
[1264.79] Jack: Because he used to enjoy me putting stuff together
[1268.79] Jack: But I've taken the top down cam of my bench down
[1272.79] Jack: So I had a bit of an incident flying
[1280.79] Jack: Tuesday? Yeah
[1282.79] Jack: You flew something?
[1284.79] Jack: What?
[1285.79] Jack: Well not very much
[1287.79] Jack: I'd done one battery
[1289.79] Jack: I was flying the Zeed
[1295.79] Jack: What's the Z? Is this a wing or a quad or what?
[1299.79] Jack: It's a quad
[1301.79] Jack: The racing quad, hang on
[1303.79] Jack: It's just out of reach
[1304.79] Jack: Very very racing droning
[1313.07] Jack: Believe it or not
[1315.07] Jack: But yeah I'm going to be chatting about this
[1319.07] Jack: Is it Z or Zeed or something?
[1322.07] Jack: What's that? How's it written?
[1325.07] Jack: That means finding
[1328.07] Jack: The only way I can immediately do this
[1330.07] Jack: Who makes it?
[1332.07] Curry: Zeed the manufacturer one
[1335.07] Jack: Yeah
[1337.07] Jack: Maybe designed in Italy or something
[1339.07] Jack: Find out, hang on
[1341.07] Tony: Zee-Zee-Zee-Zee
[1351.89] Jack: Zee-Zee
[1353.89] Jack: Zee-Zee
[1355.89] Tony: What is that bloody rubbish screen
[1360.89] Tony: I don't understand that analogue thing
[1364.89] Jack: What?
[1366.89] Jack: Mr Dom V2's over there
[1371.89] Jack: Yeah so I flew this and I was flying my wing
[1376.89] Jack: Well trying to fly my wing with
[1379.89] Jack: With poor magical pencil and he
[1383.89] Jack: What's up?
[1388.38] Frank: Dave Story was asking if I built my wing project
[1392.38] Frank: Please carry on
[1394.38] Frank: It's currently a stratus of piles of stuff on my desk
[1402.02] Frank: It's not the top layer
[1404.02] Frank: It is buried
[1406.02] Curry: The answer is he hasn't even touched it
[1408.02] Curry: Or thought about it
[1410.02] Frank: I've just piled other stuff on top of it
[1412.02] Frank: That's all that's happened
[1414.02] Frank: Oh dear, Frank
[1415.02] Curry: Please continue with your story, Jack
[1417.02] Jack: We're excited about flying something
[1419.02] Jack: And yeah, Zee's
[1423.02] Jack: That's it
[1425.02] Jack: Right, and yeah
[1427.02] Jack: I chucked my wing and he sliced his finger on the prop
[1432.02] Jack: So yeah, I'm not having a great time
[1435.02] Curry: Don't be trying to blame yourself for that
[1438.02] Curry: So hang on, someone else sliced their finger
[1440.02] Curry: What stops you flying?
[1442.02] Curry: Exactly
[1443.02] Tony: I'm probably going to be
[1445.02] Jack: Ministering first aid
[1447.02] Tony: Well I probably didn't launch it
[1449.02] Jack: Yeah
[1451.02] Tony: Jack, it was just a little nip
[1453.02] Tony: People were like, it happens all the time
[1455.02] Tony: Don't start blaming yourself for other people's problems
[1458.02] Tony: Do like a throw instead of a race throw
[1460.02] Tony: Just drop some money
[1462.02] Jack: So I have ordered a tiny trainer
[1470.02] Jack: So I'm going to do it
[1473.02] Jack: And I'm going to learn how to fly line of sight
[1478.02] Jack: What is the tiny trainer?
[1480.02] Curry: Is the tiny trainer a little fixed wing thing?
[1483.02] Curry: It's a flight test speed build kit
[1487.02] Frank: Oh man, as soon as you say flight test
[1490.02] Curry: It's like the world's most expensive foam board, isn't it?
[1493.02] Frank: Well, not the most expensive
[1496.02] Curry: But it's up there, definitely
[1498.02] Curry: So you're going to line of sight, fly a plane
[1502.02] Curry: Yeah
[1504.26] Curry: In circles
[1505.26] Tony: I'm going to do some buddy boxing
[1508.26] Tony: I can't
[1510.26] Tony: Do you know how I forgot your Christmas, your birthday present this year?
[1515.26] Jack: Yeah
[1516.26] Tony: I know what I'm getting you
[1518.26] Tony: What?
[1519.26] Tony: Well it's either white socks and sandals or some crocs and sandals
[1525.26] Tony: Or crocs and white socks
[1528.26] Tony: I'm going to get a shot of those
[1532.26] Tony: What, 99? I probably don't
[1536.26] Tony: Right, socks and sandals coming your way
[1540.26] Jack: No, and one thing I do need help with, if anyone knows
[1545.26] Jack: I need a JR to Futaba
[1548.26] Jack: Buddy, lead, or chord
[1551.26] Jack: I don't know how to do that
[1553.26] Frank: What?
[1554.26] Jack: I've had a...
[1556.26] Frank: A stereo lead like the rest of us
[1560.26] Curry: Isn't the Futaba a little square thing?
[1563.26] Curry: Yes, that's right
[1565.26] Curry: I think I've got one in one of the...
[1568.26] Tony: Didn't you get it in one of your Frank boxes?
[1571.26] Curry: One of these weird things, hang on
[1573.26] Curry: I might literally have one here
[1575.26] Curry: Because when you buy one of these weird USB things you get a bunch of little cables in
[1579.26] Curry: And you'll be looking for something like this
[1582.26] Curry: Futaba
[1584.26] Curry: It's got a jack and then you just need to supply your normal 3.5 inch thing
[1588.26] Curry: You can have that if you like
[1590.26] Curry: Who made that and where do I get it?
[1593.26] Curry: You can have this one
[1595.26] Curry: But I didn't make it
[1597.26] Curry: Do you like it?
[1599.26] Curry: Made by me, aged eight and a half
[1602.26] Curry: But no one's going to buy that
[1604.26] Jack: I will get a career to come pick that up
[1607.26] Curry: That sounds more expensive than just buying one of these simulator packs for like six quid or something
[1614.26] Curry: Fair enough
[1616.26] Curry: Are you really going to start a fine plane, Jack?
[1619.26] Curry: No, the tiny trainer, people are saying
[1622.26] Curry: Is a little funny DRL mini quad thing
[1626.26] Curry: Are we talking about...
[1628.26] Curry: We need to link people to this flight test build
[1631.26] Tony: What is it? Is it a quad or is it a plane?
[1633.26] Tony: It's a plane
[1639.26] Tony: Does it have a stabilisation built in and all that?
[1643.26] Curry: Will you be flying in clockwise or counterclockwise circles?
[1647.26] Tony: Always going left
[1649.26] Tony: Left, always going left
[1653.26] Tony: If I turn up a racetrack and it was going right, I'd go home
[1660.26] Tony: I could always fly better going left and right
[1664.26] Curry: It's always easier to push your thumb in than pull it out
[1667.26] Curry: Exactly
[1669.26] Jack: I've put the link in the chat for the flight test
[1675.26] Tony: Looks like a little glider
[1677.26] Frank: It's a phone board
[1679.26] Jack: But it has servos
[1681.26] Jack: I've bought the servos, they're tiny, they're little 5g servos
[1687.26] Curry: 30 quid, isn't that the same price as an AXN
[1691.26] Curry: Which isn't made out of just phone board
[1694.26] Curry: I don't know what that is
[1696.26] Curry: You don't know what an AXN is?
[1698.26] Curry: No
[1699.26] Curry: It's like saying you don't know what a servo is, what's wrong with you, man?
[1703.26] Curry: I don't know, did you tell me?
[1705.26] Tony: Have you come from planes before quads, Kerry?
[1707.26] Tony: No, I came from tricopters
[1709.26] Tony: Were you a tricopter, then plane, then quad?
[1713.26] Curry: Tricopters, quads, then planes
[1715.26] Curry: Really?
[1716.26] Curry: Planes came last, yes
[1718.26] Jack: Oh wow
[1720.26] Jack: Isn't that an AXN, just a Bixler?
[1724.26] Curry: No, it's a bit different from a Bixler
[1728.26] Curry: Everybody bought them, because Bruce, years ago, did like this is how you build a plane
[1732.26] Curry: Which I copied, although I managed to get the ailerons reversed
[1736.26] Curry: So my initial flights were not that successful with it
[1740.26] Curry: But as soon as I figured out
[1742.26] Curry: It is very big and very light
[1744.26] Curry: It is, but it's smaller and lighter
[1746.26] Frank: Mr Shady's got the name that I would know it by
[1748.26] Frank: Just a float
[1750.26] Curry: The nose does break off quite easily
[1754.26] Curry: As I found out after two launches into the ground
[1756.26] Tony: Jack can't use that
[1760.26] Jack: Thanks, time
[1761.26] Jack: Jack's would be the sprayer
[1765.26] Jack: Fantastic
[1767.26] Tony: If you ever release a plane design, please call it the sprayer
[1774.26] Tony: I need to put my icon on, I'm getting too hot
[1777.26] Tony: Oh God, no I won't
[1780.26] Tony: The sprayer
[1781.26] Jack: I'm glad my disease makes you laugh
[1785.26] Jack: Well, you've got to laugh at these things, haven't you?
[1787.26] Curry: But tell us about your...
[1789.26] Curry: I'll wait for you to answer
[1791.26] Curry: And you can all have a good old laugh at that
[1793.26] Curry: We will
[1794.26] Curry: I'll start writing the jokes now
[1796.26] Curry: Please tell us about your motivation behind this desire to learn line of sight fixed-wing flying
[1803.26] Jack: I can launch my own sodding planes and my friends don't have to blend their hands off
[1809.26] Tony: To be fair, it was the first time he launched a plane
[1813.26] Tony: Was it not?
[1814.26] Curry: Why would you hold a wing and launch it like where the...
[1817.26] Curry: There's a proper thing
[1818.26] Curry: If you do it right anyway, it doesn't hit you
[1821.26] Jack: I've had this argument
[1824.26] Jack: Experimental Airlines
[1827.26] Tony: There's several ways to launch it
[1829.26] Tony: I just don't normally hold it by the wing and...
[1834.26] Curry: Well, I launch all the time with my goggles on
[1838.26] Curry: And it's just literally power up and chuck it
[1842.26] Curry: Yeah, planes are fun
[1844.26] Curry: Planes are fun
[1845.26] Curry: I just...
[1846.26] Curry: I just...
[1847.26] Curry: I find it a bit down the line of sight
[1849.26] Curry: Because after I've done two circuits, I'm like...
[1851.26] Curry: Mm-hmm
[1852.26] Curry: This feels like flying me under circles
[1855.26] Frank: You need to fly them inverted instead
[1859.26] Tony: What you meant...
[1860.26] Tony: Could do then
[1861.26] Tony: What I...
[1862.26] Tony: The fun thing about flying a plane
[1864.26] Jack: You had your shared screen
[1866.26] Tony: It's the 17 grand that people spend and then fly
[1870.26] Curry: Yeah, that's the correct way to launch a plane
[1872.26] Curry: But I'd still prefer to launch it by a wing if it's a wing
[1875.26] Curry: Well, the wing...
[1876.26] Jack: I find it hooks and it'll just smash everything up
[1881.26] Tony: It can...
[1882.26] Tony: It can hook, I agree
[1885.26] Jack: I find...
[1886.26] Jack: I find that is...
[1889.26] Jack: You know, I just find that the whole wing tasks, like...
[1895.12] Jack: Especially when you've got FPV gear
[1898.12] Jack: That won't work
[1899.12] Jack: It saves you
[1900.12] Jack: I'm also...
[1901.12] Jack: I'm also a fan of Ivy Crazy
[1906.12] Jack: How to launch, where you do it above your head
[1909.12] Jack: And you let go
[1913.59] Curry: It's kind of whatever works for you
[1915.59] Curry: But I'd like to keep my hands away from the spinny crocky thing if I can
[1919.59] Curry: I'm sorry, Dave, I hope you're okay

[1948.59] Frank: What have you been doing on your sim recently, Curry?
[1952.59] Frank: Anything?
[1953.59] Curry: Nothing, because it was too hot
[1955.59] Curry: So all I've managed to do in the last two weeks
[1957.59] Curry: Is design different openings so the walls falls down in different ways
[1963.59] Curry: Which is very exciting, if you're me
[1966.59] Curry: Perhaps it's just a way of procrastinating
[1969.59] Curry: To what now?
[1970.59] Frank: Do you have to collect all the different openings?
[1973.59] Frank: Like bonus?
[1975.59] Curry: No, it goes randomly
[1978.59] Curry: If you want, I can show you these endings
[1980.59] Curry: If you're very excited by all openings, if you're very excited by them indeed
[1985.59] Tony: You've got the traditional quad flies through the wall
[1990.59] Curry: And then you've got, because we've got planes in the sim now
[1996.59] Curry: Here is a plane hitting the wall instead
[2002.06] Curry: Which is super fun
[2004.06] Jack: And then finally
[2006.06] Jack: Why didn't it go through there? That sucks, the quad goes through
[2012.06] Jack: Because I wanted it to do something different
[2015.06] Curry: There's the beach ball, and then the wall just falls over
[2019.06] Jack: What about my face through the wall?
[2021.06] Tony: Is there any Easter eggs?
[2024.06] Tony: No, there's no Easter eggs
[2026.06] Curry: You definitely should do Easter eggs
[2030.06] Curry: Well, it's too hot to do anything
[2032.06] Curry: The idea was to get planes in network mode by now
[2037.06] Curry: But it's so hot that my brain doesn't work and I can't do it
[2042.06] Curry: I started doing it and then it gave up
[2044.06] Curry: Not realistic, the wings stayed on
[2048.43] Curry: Can you make the quad a lot bigger?
[2050.43] Tony: Trevor is a dino
[2054.43] Tony: Yes
[2055.43] Tony: Ah, so Trevor is dino
[2057.43] Tony: Been sick too, oh man
[2060.43] Tony: I know, nobody
[2063.43] Jack: I've still got your quad hanging on the wall
[2070.43] Jack: There is a mode for oversized quad, isn't there?
[2075.43] Curry: You can make them look bigger in the online game
[2078.43] Curry: But they're not actually bigger, they just look bigger
[2080.43] Curry: You can't do anything
[2082.43] Curry: It helps when chasing
[2086.48] Curry: But yeah, I can make them look smaller and bigger
[2088.48] Curry: But it's mostly just cosmetic
[2095.48] Curry: So all the people's requests for, can you put a different quad in it?
[2099.48] Curry: It's like yeah, but after I do all the other stuff
[2102.48] Curry: Which isn't happening because now it's too hot
[2104.48] Curry: And also I've got that HD system down there I need to put together
[2108.48] Curry: Fortunately Jack's here so I can ask all my pie questions to him
[2111.48] Curry: No
[2113.48] Curry: I'll be safe
[2115.48] Curry: Because Jack is a pie expert, or a pexpert as we call them in the trade
[2121.48] Jack: Jack's a dickhead
[2124.48] Frank: So Jack, what were you dragging Don Clifton on to talk about before he threw himself down the stairs?
[2133.48] Tony: Hopefully he will do it in a couple of weeks
[2137.48] Tony: And we can put him back in again
[2139.48] Jack: Off my wrong leg a few weeks ago
[2144.05] Jack: Oh buddy, no
[2147.05] Curry: I expect so, as opposed to you lost it in the sofa or something
[2152.97] Tony: Where is it? Or if we can't find it
[2155.97] Tony: It's like the bottom scene isn't it with a carved wooden leg
[2161.63] Jack: Something like that
[2163.63] Tony: Maybe you should watch that Trevor, you'll probably find that quite amusing
[2167.63] Jack: Yeah, if you find any enjoyment in this
[2172.63] Tony: Well he knows what we like and stuff though
[2178.63] Curry: Oh no, this is full of bad injuries now
[2183.63] Curry: Sorry to Trevor, but now we're talking about thumbs getting chopped off
[2190.63] Curry: By sticking it through the prop on a nitro plate
[2193.63] Curry: I'm hoping he didn't say, hey is this spinning?
[2196.63] Curry: Wow
[2198.63] Frank: Exactly the sort of story
[2200.63] Frank: Yeah, save these from gmail.com
[2203.63] Curry: Mr Shady's picked too early here, save these
[2206.63] Tony: Save these because this is going to be our October Halloween special
[2212.63] Frank: Why did he stick it through the prop?
[2215.63] Frank: What sort of plane was it?
[2221.63] Tony: And is there any pictures please get them ready for October
[2225.63] Curry: The scariest I've seen the worst pictures ever of launches going wrong
[2231.63] Curry: Because when a launch goes wrong and people don't release their hand
[2234.63] Curry: What you get is cuts all the way down the arm of the prop
[2238.63] Curry: And it's nasty, really nasty
[2243.63] Jack: When I first flew years ago with Tony and Dan Upton and Oscar Lang
[2253.63] Jack: I took off too close to me and zipped all those bits of my knuckles from the Tyrannus
[2262.63] Jack: And the quad went up my knuckles and that was pretty horrible
[2267.63] Jack: Sorry, that day, I don't know whether you remember that
[2270.63] Jack: That was the day where we set up some gates and we were flying through them
[2276.01] Tony: I can't remember, probably about five, six years ago
[2280.01] Tony: Probably six years ago
[2282.01] Tony: If this has been going five years we must have been flying quads and stuff for at least six years then now
[2289.01] Jack: I know
[2290.01] Tony: I've always been flying about five years but I keep forgetting it's time carries on
[2295.01] Tony: And it's probably six or seven years now
[2298.01] Jack: And you're not 20 anymore
[2300.01] Tony: Well, my brain and always still think I'm 20
[2303.01] Tony: My body's starting to say no, but at least I don't fall down the stairs
[2308.01] Curry: Yeah, dementia all the way back then too
[2311.01] Tony: I do
[2312.01] Tony: Well, that old boy who falls down the stairs, Dominic Clifston
[2317.01] Curry: Oh
[2318.01] Tony: That's an old boy there, isn't it?
[2320.01] Tony: He's probably listening
[2322.01] Curry: I remember the last time you were in hospital, Jack, you did the podcast from your bed
[2329.01] Curry: So, come on, Don
[2331.01] Tony: I remember that, I kept pressing
[2335.01] Tony: I kept, he was really chatty, chatty, chatty
[2339.01] Tony: And there was this button I could press to administer morphine
[2343.01] Tony: Shine off
[2344.01] Curry: It's a bit chatty, it's making him unconscious
[2349.01] Tony: Thanks, God
[2351.01] Tony: Oh, God, his wee was this colour, it was orange, worse than that
[2355.01] Tony: Do you remember, Jack, your wee was so orange
[2358.01] Jack: Why are you talking about this?
[2360.01] Jack: Any more of my personal, like, medical history you want to give out?
[2365.01] Tony: I remember you chatting, I was just saying
[2368.01] Jack: I wish I was, I'm gonna log in
[2372.01] Frank: This is what you get from five years of weekly podcasts
[2376.01] Curry: Jack's just gone to throw himself down the stairs now to get out of this conversation
[2380.01] Tony: Oh, God, it was all funny sitting there
[2383.01] Tony: Did you see his eyes roll back and he said
[2385.01] Tony: Oh, press that button again
[2389.01] Curry: I've been really lucky, people are talking about, like, accidental arming and stuff
[2393.01] Curry: And when I was first trying to make my quadcopter, which was eight years ago now, would you believe?
[2399.01] Curry: I hadn't any experience of radios
[2402.01] Curry: And someone had lent me this 40 megahertz one, which I just plugged in
[2405.01] Curry: And I didn't know about channels and stuff
[2408.01] Curry: And I was trying to figure out what control did what, not knowing
[2411.01] Curry: And I started reversing channels and seeing what would happen
[2414.01] Curry: And of course I reversed to throttle
[2416.01] Curry: And this huge tricom just jumped back and hit me in the face
[2420.01] Curry: Fortunately, the props didn't get me, it sort of went bleh
[2423.01] Curry: Weirdly, I managed to do that twice
[2426.01] Curry: I didn't learn from the first one
[2428.01] Curry: And I got a small cut on the leg, so I got pretty lucky there
[2432.01] Frank: Robin FPV says he came from helicopters, so he already had a healthy dose of care and attention
[2437.01] Curry: Yeah, I guess you only get to make your mistake once with a big heli, don't you?
[2441.01] Tony: Chuba Java said I'd done the same, luckily I was wearing Kevlar gloves
[2445.01] Tony: And it only damaged them, never put pre-arm on a quad so fast in my life
[2451.01] Tony: Oh, yeah, oh no, there is bad stuff what's happened
[2455.01] Tony: I mean, I've still got a chin injury under this little goatee beard
[2461.01] Tony: It is a pretty big scar, where I'll get it in the face with a quad
[2468.01] Tony: That was not nice, dang
[2470.01] Tony: That was a 5S with a GoPro on it
[2473.01] Curry: Do you remember we were at a hobby king and someone managed to get hit in the face by someone else's quad, didn't they?
[2479.01] Frank: Yeah, that was not good
[2481.01] Curry: No, that was like...
[2482.01] Curry: Did they even go to hospital like me?
[2485.01] Curry: Well, they were very manly about it, weren't they, just like, whatever, it's a quad
[2489.01] Curry: It looks quite bad
[2491.01] Curry: I just don't know how that happened
[2493.01] Curry: I mean, it was a very small area to keep a quad in and you weren't netted away from anybody
[2501.01] Frank: Well, I reckon I could take a punch zone between the racing area and just Joe Public
[2509.01] Tony: I snapped someone's quad in half with my chin, so I ain't got a glass chin, I should have been a boxer
[2518.01] Curry: Is this you just going up and going on a quad or did it hit you first?
[2522.01] Tony: No, it flew into me
[2524.01] Tony: Shouldn't have been on track and it flew into me
[2527.01] Tony: And it was 5S with a GoPro on it, it was very fast, it was at the start of the race, so it was
[2533.01] Tony: Didn't get knocked out, so
[2538.86] Tony: But it was very painful
[2541.86] Tony: Very painful
[2543.86] Tony: Anyway, these are stories
[2545.86] Tony: It sounds like a new jackass stunt, doesn't it?
[2547.86] Curry: It's like, hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is quad punch
[2553.86] Tony: I watched, what was I watching?
[2556.86] Tony: I had to turn off
[2558.86] Tony: Because I watched some of it
[2560.86] Tony: He was on a YouTube thing
[2563.86] Tony: And he was doing my top ten injuries or something
[2566.86] Tony: And I got to about three and went, nope
[2568.86] Tony: Oh, now, nope
[2571.86] Tony: And he jumped in something and caught his back on something
[2575.86] Tony: And then his bone come out his foot and I was like, that's enough
[2579.86] Tony: No, I don't care, you can be a millionaire by doing that
[2583.86] Tony: I'm not, no way
[2585.86] Tony: Rough
[2587.86] Frank: So he says, every video on YouTube about how to set up pre-arm is done by someone with a plaster on their finger
[2595.86] Tony: That's brilliant, look at this
[2598.86] Tony: Jeremiah Davis says, my DJ Igels and Nebula are coming today, what drone do I install on first?
[2605.86] Tony: Woop, five, six or seven inch
[2608.86] Tony: I don't know, what do you fly the most, stick it on that, that's what I say
[2612.86] Jack: Will it fit in a woop?
[2614.86] Tony: Nope
[2616.86] Tony: Big one, yeah
[2618.86] Tony: Big one
[2620.86] Tony: I see, right, name some people that we know
[2626.86] Tony: Jesus Christ
[2628.86] Tony: Time to lay dementia
[2632.86] Tony: Bloods, bloods have got it
[2634.86] Tony: Bloods has just released a new, a little three inch drone that you can put the CanX in
[2641.86] Tony: I can't think of what it's called but he's got a nice little, nice little quad three inch
[2649.86] Tony: Have a look Frank, quick, tell me what it's called
[2652.86] Tony: I'm so hot
[2654.86] Curry: These comments are starting to get hard to read, Jibber-Jibber again
[2657.86] Curry: I did have to glue my hand up the other week but that was due to a Stanley knife getting too close
[2662.86] Curry: while working on a plane, they're dangerous too
[2665.86] Tony: Glue wasn't actually invented for
[2667.86] Curry: Yeah, I think Super Glue was invented for medical stuff, wasn't it?
[2671.86] Tony: It was invented for glue, because my brother used to glue all the time
[2677.86] Tony: He used to send me pictures of his fingers and like bits hanging off
[2681.86] Tony: And then he used to stick it back together and just literally glue it
[2684.86] Tony: And I used to go, that's disgusting, but it worked all the time
[2687.86] Tony: And then I looked into it and it was what, yeah, they invented it in the first world war to glue people's stuff
[2696.86] Tony: I don't think it's the guitar pick
[2698.86] Curry: It's not the guitar pick, I saw, yeah the Odin, you're right
[2702.86] Tony: Odin it's called, yeah
[2706.86] Curry: It's quite useful, you've said what size it is
[2708.86] Curry: Because I saw the picture and I couldn't work out just from the picture what size it was
[2713.86] Curry: Because they all look kind of proportionally the same, it could have been anything
[2717.86] Tony: It looks pretty good, I'm going to, I might get him to make me one because I can't
[2726.86] Curry: Can't make anything
[2728.86] Tony: I made my plane fly once and then Jack made it fly the rest of the time
[2733.86] Curry: Didn't really fly, did it? You threw it hard
[2737.86] Tony: Flying, gliding is flying, isn't it?
[2741.86] Curry: Well then a stone flies for a while as you throw it
[2744.86] Jack: It does
[2745.86] Jack: It's the only person I've ever known to successfully fly something using servos powered by 12 volts instead of 5
[2756.86] Frank: Thank you, thank you
[2759.86] Frank: Fraser Steen has a little story in the chat of when Andy RC nearly died from a prop strike
[2765.86] Frank: I was there for that, we did definitely have to administer first aid for that one
[2771.86] Tony: What happened to that one? I don't know that story
[2773.86] Tony: I can't talk about this until all the time
[2775.86] Tony: Do we have to wait till Halloween?
[2777.86] Frank: Yep
[2779.86] Frank: If someone sends me in a good horror story maybe we'll share the Andy RC story with them earlier
[2786.86] Frank: Otherwise you've got to wait till Halloween episode
[2789.86] Frank: Yeah
[2790.86] Curry: Ah, disappointment
[2795.16] Frank: Concrete Snail's first aid kit is super glue and electrical tape
[2799.16] Jack: That's a good kit
[2801.16] Jack: Funny enough, we used electrical tape for gauze
[2807.16] Curry: I do know one of my friends that used to fly at Mad Dogs was building up really long range stuff
[2815.16] Curry: And he went for this launch and it caught his hand
[2820.16] Curry: And he said
[2822.16] Curry: I don't think he's watched it yet
[2824.16] Curry: Basically he's got a snuff video of all these camera angles as this thing tore his hand in
[2830.16] Curry: And he said
[2831.16] Curry: Well, he managed basically to call his wife and say
[2834.16] Curry: I think I've bugged myself up, help, I'm down here, get an ambulance
[2839.16] Curry: And she was like so unfazed
[2841.16] Curry: She's like, ah, I can see all your tendons from here, this is amazing
[2844.16] Curry: And so he said he's got the SD cards but he's never had the guts to watch it back yet
[2850.16] Curry: I don't know if that's still the case or he's actually
[2852.16] Tony: See if we can get that SD card for our Halloween episode
[2860.16] Curry: That'll put people off
[2862.16] Curry: That is a real horror show
[2863.16] Frank: There's also a story I've got from a few years ago from when someone managed to do a suicide dive into someone else's face
[2873.16] Frank: That was entertaining
[2874.16] Frank: Ouch
[2875.16] Frank: Oh yeah, I remember that
[2876.16] Jack: I think that was the one she talked about at those clips you mentioned
[2880.16] Jack: I thought you were never going to talk about those because it was that horrific
[2884.16] Jack: It was pretty bad
[2886.16] Jack: I don't remember that
[2889.16] Jack: I think I've got to buy a new GoPro lens
[2892.16] Jack: What have you done to it?
[2894.16] Jack: I let Sheldon near it
[2896.16] Jack: That's a bad idea
[2898.16] Curry: Where are you on your stripping down a GoPro idea, Tony? Have you given up on that idea?
[2903.5] Curry: Naked GoPro?
[2905.5] Tony: Well, Covid happened and that means no seeing anyone so I couldn't really go down to Jack's
[2912.5] Tony: Everyone's stripping
[2914.5] Tony: Sixties and not sevens
[2916.5] Curry: That's because they want real steady to work with it
[2919.5] Tony: I just want a seven strip but there's no online tutorials plus Covid and that means handing it through the letterbox to Jack and things like that
[2931.5] Jack: Yep, Tony's not part of my bubble
[2934.5] Jack: He chose someone else
[2936.5] Jack: I've only got two bubbles
[2939.5] Frank: Well, Richard Boric in the chat says this stream should never be shown to the CAA
[2945.5] Tony: I don't think any of the LDO stuff should be ever
[2949.5] Tony: No, it's true
[2951.5] Curry: So who's got flying plans in the next week?
[2956.5] UNKNOWN: I've actually blocked
[2958.5] Tony: Me
[2960.5] Tony: This weekend I'm going to go for a fly because I haven't flown for two weeks and I'm missing it and I'm going to go
[2966.5] Tony: With who?
[2968.5] Curry: I'd say what you're flying but it's like I've only got one quad now, it's the DJI quad
[2973.5] Curry: DJI
[2975.5] Tony: I will take it
[2977.5] Tony: Me
[2979.5] Tony: I will take an old quad but they will be the last
[2983.5] Curry: But just a snare out and go
[2985.5] Tony: See what you could have had
[2988.5] Tony: I don't know the ones that I'll just lob on the floor and stuff
[2993.5] Tony: I don't know, I'm just
[2995.5] Tony: The thing is like everything's been done
[2998.5] Tony: So there's nothing new to do
[3000.5] Tony: And I'm still not to a thousand subscribers
[3003.5] Tony: I'm just so bloody close
[3005.5] Tony: And I just think what can I do different
[3007.5] Tony: Because otherwise people are going to see me at Hidden Valley do the same thing
[3011.5] Tony: I'm going to follow a plane there
[3013.5] Tony: I've just run out of ideas
[3016.5] Curry: So I'm just
[3018.5] Curry: I keep telling you my dynamite
[3020.5] Curry: I'm ideas
[3022.5] Curry: And you never guess what happens next business
[3024.5] Curry: They seem very popular
[3026.5] Curry: And you could do like I flew according to my face
[3028.5] Curry: You'll never guess what happened next
[3030.5] Curry: Then you can do Tony reacts to man flying quad into face video
[3034.5] Curry: Or something like that
[3036.5] Curry: I don't like that
[3038.5] Frank: Just ideas man here
[3040.5] Frank: Fraser Steen in a chat earlier had an interesting suggestion
[3045.5] Frank: If you can't fly
[3047.5] Frank: Maybe you take your sea kayak out or something
[3051.5] Frank: There's all the cruise ships that are out in the channel at the moment
[3055.5] Frank: That are all just stuck in the middle of the channel
[3059.5] Frank: How far out are they?
[3061.5] Jack: Not very
[3063.5] Tony: I went out on my
[3065.5] Jack: The individual line of sight
[3067.5] Tony: I went out on my boat the other day
[3070.5] Jack: Did you see any?
[3072.5] Tony: Whenever you say I went out on my boat
[3074.5] Curry: It sounds like a boat not a canoe
[3076.5] Curry: I hate to make that distinction
[3078.5] Tony: I went out on my boat
[3080.5] Jack: Everyone knows he's not Mr Darcy
[3082.5] Tony: I've got a boat boat
[3084.5] Tony: I've got three boats but they're kayaks
[3086.5] Tony: I've had no lightning here
[3089.5] Tony: I've got a quad specifically waterproofed
[3092.5] Tony: And plastic
[3094.5] Tony: So it won't get struck by lightning
[3096.5] Tony: It's not carbon
[3098.5] Tony: So I could literally fly up into the lightning
[3101.5] Curry: I don't know if it's plastic as well then
[3103.5] Curry: I'm confused there
[3105.5] Tony: Well they could
[3107.5] Frank: They could get
[3109.5] Frank: I really don't think the conductivity is a problem
[3112.5] Frank: If it's going through a few hundred feet of air
[3117.5] Frank: I think probably a couple of millimetres of plastic
[3121.5] Frank: Probably aren't going to make too much of a difference
[3123.5] Frank: I think you're probably going to have more of an issue with
[3127.5] Frank: When there is a lightning strike
[3129.5] Frank: All the radio noise
[3131.5] Tony: Yeah I know
[3133.5] Tony: If there was a storm out there
[3135.5] Tony: And I was out and about
[3137.5] Tony: And it was coming and I could see it
[3139.5] Tony: I'll take my waterproof call and I'll fly it
[3142.5] Tony: Straight up into a storm
[3144.5] Tony: A mile out from Southampton and Plymouth
[3147.5] Curry: Oh I think I know where it must be
[3150.5] Curry: I've still got my nautical chance
[3152.5] Curry: From when I had an actual boat
[3154.5] Curry: And there is a deep water
[3156.5] Curry: If I had to fly out to there I wouldn't even take my boat
[3159.5] Curry: There's a deep water mooring
[3161.5] Curry: Which most of the big container ships and cruise ships
[3164.5] Curry: Use just outside of Southampton water
[3166.5] Curry: Southampton water is the sort of area that
[3169.5] Curry: There's sort of a fin between Southampton and like Gosport
[3172.5] Curry: That then goes out into the Solent
[3174.5] Curry: So you could definitely
[3176.5] Curry: So my friend
[3177.5] Curry: Anything you went flying out there is
[3179.5] Curry: My friend was probably Bruce
[3181.5] Tony: I don't know what you were up to on the beach
[3183.5] Tony: Come from Isle of Wight
[3185.5] Tony: Come over on the ferry
[3187.5] Tony: And then come up to me and then we went out
[3189.5] Tony: So I might go and see him
[3191.5] Tony: And then go and fly out to rather than Paddle
[3194.5] Tony: If it's only a mile out I could fly out to that and back
[3197.5] Tony: Easy
[3199.5] Curry: Beaches might be a bit busy at the moment
[3201.5] Curry: That's your only problem
[3202.5] Tony: Oh you know me I'll get up at 4am
[3205.5] Jack: Oh God
[3206.5] Tony: Be there at 4.30
[3208.5] Tony: Flying out
[3211.5] Jack: What is wrong with him?
[3213.5] Tony: I'm living my life Jack
[3215.5] Tony: I'm having fun
[3216.5] Curry: He's living his life but going to bed at 10 o'clock
[3218.5] Tony: I do go to bed at 10
[3220.5] Tony: Actually it's 9 now
[3222.5] Jack: Can you imagine him in an old people's home
[3225.5] Jack: He's the only person who's happy to be there
[3228.5] Tony: I'll be the only person not waiting myself
[3230.5] Tony: And still standing up while you lot are in wheelchairs
[3233.5] Tony: And pissing your pants
[3235.5] Jack: I'll be defecating myself
[3237.5] Tony: Exactly, you're already doing it now
[3240.5] Tony: It's like we're still
[3242.5] Jack: 4am's a particularly active hour
[3245.5] Jack: It's amazing
[3246.5] Jack: Is anyone getting the ghost?
[3249.5] Jack: I don't know, Frank could
[3251.5] Jack: Because Frank isn't a crossfire boy
[3254.5] Jack: This is correct
[3255.5] Jack: And Curry's a reviewer
[3257.5] Frank: I would potentially
[3258.5] Curry: Yes but I did message Tony
[3260.5] Curry: And Tony responded by not responding at all
[3263.5] Curry: And completely ignoring me so
[3265.5] Curry: I call him earlier
[3267.5] Curry: I'm not looking good there
[3268.5] Tony: You call him on the telly one
[3269.5] Tony: Or did he say I fell down the stairs
[3272.5] Jack: No, he just ignores me
[3274.5] Jack: I might have called him as well
[3275.5] Tony: Let's all call him and say
[3277.5] Tony: Look, come on, talk about it
[3279.5] Curry: You're being ignored
[3280.5] Curry: I'm interested because it seems like
[3282.5] Curry: Did we talk about this last night?
[3284.5] Curry: It seems like too
[3285.5] Curry: Very quickly there's been two 2.4 systems
[3289.5] Curry: That talk long range
[3290.5] Curry: Although that flysky one apparently goes up to 2 watts
[3293.5] Curry: Which could have something to do with the range it can get
[3296.5] Tony: And fry your brain
[3298.5] Curry: But is it like suddenly there's this new 2.4 chip
[3301.5] Curry: And a couple of people have jumped on it very quickly
[3303.5] Curry: And said, oh look we can go for a long way with this
[3308.5] Jack: Did I?
[3309.5] Jack: I guess so
[3310.5] Jack: It was kind of covered in Joshua Bardwell's video though
[3314.5] Curry: I watched it
[3315.5] Curry: What did I say on it?
[3316.5] Curry: I did watch it but surprisingly
[3318.5] Curry: They didn't talk about other 2.4 systems
[3321.5] Curry: Whilst they were doing the advertisement there
[3325.5] Frank: Robin FPV says he's not really happy
[3327.5] Frank: With the look of any radio or system at the moment
[3329.5] Frank: And I know what he means
[3331.5] Frank: The closest I've got to being like
[3333.5] Frank: Ah that could be an interesting new radio
[3335.5] Frank: Was actually the B2FPV one
[3337.5] Frank: The ridiculously cheap one
[3339.5] Frank: That you had to like glue the ballast into
[3343.5] Frank: That was like, ah
[3345.5] Frank: That's an interesting thing
[3347.5] Jack: Why glue the ballast?
[3350.5] Jack: Don't you mean ballast?
[3352.5] Tony: Yeah look Dave Story said there's a new chip
[3356.5] Frank: It's a new chip called LoRa
[3358.5] Frank: Oh apparently
[3362.5] Frank: It's a system that's been around for ages
[3366.5] Frank: I don't know why they would now come into this
[3370.5] Frank: It definitely was ballast Jack
[3373.5] Frank: It's like literal lumps of lead
[3375.5] Curry: Yeah I've got it here and what happened during shipping
[3378.5] Curry: When I got it I sort of rattled
[3381.5] Curry: And what I found is there's these little weights
[3383.5] Curry: In each of these to make it feel
[3386.5] Curry: Like oh it's quality because it's heavy
[3388.5] Curry: And if you take them out it's lighter
[3390.5] Curry: And I just took that back in
[3392.5] Curry: And also my little vibrate-y thing
[3395.5] Curry: What would you call that?
[3397.5] Curry: Had fallen out and I took that back in
[3399.5] Jack: Haptic sensor
[3401.5] Curry: Yeah but it's not your traditional one
[3403.5] Curry: With the sort of spinny thing with weights
[3406.5] Curry: That are uneven it was just this little
[3408.5] Curry: Like a coin cell almost
[3411.98] Jack: Was it haptic or taptic or something?
[3413.98] Jack: I can't remember
[3416.98] Curry: It's not bad prices at 116 quid free receivers
[3420.98] Curry: That puts it very squarely against the micro crossfire pack
[3426.98] Curry: I guess
[3428.98] Curry: The version 2
[3430.98] Tony: Everyone's going to jump ship from crossfire to that
[3433.98] Curry: Or just wait and see what happens
[3435.98] Curry: I expect a bit of waiting because it's about
[3439.98] Curry: More bandwidth on that frequency
[3441.98] Curry: Isn't it you've got room to hop about as opposed to
[3443.98] Curry: Rices I suppose
[3445.98] Curry: You might have to turn off telemetry don't you
[3447.98] Curry: As soon as you get more than a few up there
[3450.98] Tony: I'm happy with more crossfire
[3452.98] Tony: I'm just going to leave it
[3453.98] Jack: I can't tell you what this group is
[3455.98] Jack: But it was an FPV group
[3457.98] Jack: And it was
[3459.98] Jack: Hmmm
[3461.98] Jack: Hooligan
[3463.98] Jack: Long range hooligans
[3465.98] Tony: No
[3467.98] Tony: You're allowed
[3469.98] Tony: We can try long range hooligans
[3472.98] Jack: I thought he could remember it
[3474.98] Jack: I was very surprised to find some people that I know in it
[3480.98] Jack: Who I thought were good boys and girls
[3485.98] Tony: Yeah, I agree
[3487.98] Jack: Yeah, I'm shocked and I saw like the Matek 1.3 in there
[3493.98] Jack: And I was chatting to Payness about that
[3497.98] Jack: And he says it doesn't really work with
[3500.98] Jack: GPS sensors
[3502.98] Jack: So it upsets them
[3506.98] Tony: AudioGeek says it's limited in Europe
[3511.98] Tony: What is that the ghost we're talking about?
[3514.98] Jack: Yeah
[3516.98] Tony: That's probably why it doesn't want to come on and talk to us a lot then
[3519.98] Tony: Let's go to America and talk
[3521.98] Tony: Where I can really say it goes far
[3524.98] Tony: But if I come on the LDO podcast
[3526.98] Tony: So you're in England I have to say
[3528.98] Tony: It's only limited to one milliwatt and it goes to the end of the garden
[3532.98] Curry: That's what they don't understand
[3534.98] Curry: Anywhere currently in the world you can fly for 10 miles with this
[3538.98] Curry: Or you could say you could, but of course you wouldn't
[3541.98] Curry: But it'll get you to the edge of line of sight really nicely
[3545.98] Tony: With line of sight can you use
[3549.98] Curry: Enoculus
[3550.98] Tony: No
[3551.98] Tony: No
[3552.98] Tony: Why did, how then did Rotariot do line of sight video using telephones and cars
[3566.57] Curry: I expect they broke some rules
[3568.57] Tony: It wasn't in the UK obviously USA
[3573.1] Tony: But they were telephoning line of sight
[3577.1] Tony: Yes I can still see it because it's flying right next to my effing car
[3582.1] Frank: Well you can do extended visual line of sight
[3585.1] Frank: But you have to get an extra
[3588.1] Frank: You have to write out how you're going to do it
[3591.1] Frank: Like risk assessments and all that kind of stuff
[3593.1] Frank: And send it to the CAA and they go yes
[3595.1] Tony: Risk assessments, it's flying next to our car at three foot
[3599.1] Frank: Exactly, so you know
[3601.1] Frank: You'd have to make the case that it's not going to harm anyone else
[3605.1] Frank: That isn't under your control
[3607.1] Frank: Isn't going to be a risk to general aviation and all that kind of stuff
[3612.1] Tony: And send pictures to the CAA of my spotter with load of carrots next to him
[3618.1] Tony: My spotter has really good eyesight because they never get to a limit
[3625.74] Jack: Fair enough
[3626.74] Jack: Shall we call it there?
[3627.74] Jack: Yep
[3628.74] Jack: No worries, thank you
[3629.74] Jack: You've been listening to Lestrone out
[3631.74] Jack: Hopefully we will have an excellent show next week
[3634.74] Jack: Because it will be the fifth year anniversary
[3636.74] Jack: Don't forget to send in your FPV horror stories ready for October
[3641.74] Tony: Next week
[3643.74] Jack: Nice to shout out to our Patreons
[3645.74] Jack: Tony's now in charge, carry on Tony
[3648.74] Tony: I'm sorry, I just wanted to say a thing for you next week
[3652.74] Tony: Sorry, carry on Jack
[3654.74] Jack: Just so they don't throw themselves down the stairs
[3656.74] Tony: They're probably all right
[3658.74] Jack: We hope you're alright Hydra
[3660.74] Jack: And getting better and you're not too seriously hurt
[3664.74] Jack: Thank you, I've been joined by my little wife
[3667.74] Jack: Bonjour
[3669.74] Jack: Andrew slash Frank
[3670.74] Jack: Bye
[3671.74] Jack: Everyone's favourite curry kitten
[3673.74] Jack: Help me, I'm melting

[3676.74] Jack: Thank you guys, thank you Patreons
[3679.74] Jack: Thank you everyone
[3680.74] Jack: We love you all
