like if you'd got it out in front of me how big is it then tony look at the bell back at the [5.2] Stephen: size got a nice package it's not that much longer than yours tony but it is twice as wide i can't [10.96] Stephen: get it back in jam it on the internet and call it good hello and you're listening to let's drone out [17.52] Jack: and special thank you to our lovely patrons that help donate so that we could pay the editor to [23.44] Jack: remove the swear words and silly things we say massive thank you to kolos campos art folk now [32.16] Jack: sam dharma on with the show hello and welcome to let's drone out tonight you're joined by everyone's [70.59] Jack: favorite mustache steven hello and good evening and i'm bright until i fly um how you been steven [78.11] Stephen: i'm all good yeah yeah it's been nice i've had a lot of time off work i've been kicking it for a [83.79] Stephen: few weeks in enjoying the sedate life of flying stuff fixing up a lot of broken hardware plowing [90.67] Stephen: my way through some video games that i've been meaning to play for years and years yeah it's [96.43] Jack: all been nice i have been playing with this spaghetti i know spaghetti so it's a what is [108.51] Jack: your spaghetti it's the sky stars uh ese uh some eco motors and the or the board that you gave me [119.87] Jack: and the vtx gave me and that is uh run cam racer yeah i've just i'm just waiting on a frame i can't [131.39] Stephen: buy any frames you've given up on your old frames your your reserve quads it's always agonizing [138.91] Stephen: when you've got those history pieces and you're like oh i don't really want to take them apart [143.63] Jack: well guess what i found you've got a choice you've got a small 180 you know for your little [151.47] Jack: mini retro or you've got a bigger you know so you've got like a four inch [159.63] Jack: it might do five i'm not too sure or you've got like up to six inches so do not give me any more [168.43] Stephen: quads because um kc but that that that looks oh is this for this is going to be a fail safe [175.95] Stephen: retro build who's retro no this is you i've already got a retro quad happily up there i [182.35] Stephen: haven't got round to flying it nearly as much as i should have oh you yeah but you talk about my [187.79] Jack: one that you're going to get back yeah well this is a retro frame to go along with your retro [194.43] Stephen: uh camera i i did some organization and i took them all down and did a group photo [202.19] Stephen: over christmas and and i think that was horrendous yeah there's a lot of them i managed to get them [209.23] Stephen: all on the pegboard after that group photo which i'm quite happy about can you show the photo just [215.39] Jack: to show people the the illness the illness no you're gonna have to just give me a second [222.99] Jack: no man could fly you can only fly one of them at a time right yeah it's out of control yeah you know [232.35] Stephen: the um it's a disease yeah absolutely just oh what about this oh well maybe what would it be [238.91] Stephen: like if if i change this little thing shall i change it no just build another one just build [243.23] Stephen: another one and build another one build another one and build another one and if you carry on [247.63] Stephen: like that for well not not any amount of time considering like how long jack's been doing this [254.83] Stephen: but for me as i just mess around these tabs for me it didn't take that long and i ended up with [263.55] Stephen: pretty epic collection and so this is this is the zoo oh my those are all running beta flight even [272.35] Stephen: the weird ones that you think aren't like the uh sima x3 that's got beat of light f3 board in it [278.67] Stephen: the hub san h107d that should not be running beat of light yes it is that's running [283.63] Stephen: no way a brushed f3 yep so there's three brushed quads on the front row everything else is brushless [292.03] Stephen: um and pretty much everything is is on the latest release there's a couple of f3s that i've held [298.27] Stephen: back but pretty much all of these are running beta flight if not 4.4 then definitely 4.3 [304.59] Stephen: except for the obvious one in the the center row center back i know you can tell i like [312.11] Stephen: micros though right there's really not much space to fly anything other than micros around here so [316.83] Stephen: micros are the order of the day yeah there's a lot of them so me and me and fail safe we're [322.43] Jack: chatting afterwards and um we're going to try and kind of get together with you cool but yeah [331.07] Stephen: there's there's a few interesting ones in there a few bits and pieces there's a a naked vista in [336.59] Stephen: there i don't know you can't see my mouse pointer it's just about and then an h1 hd0 system we've [343.63] Stephen: got all three uh dgi hd0 and walk snail represented here in this collection as well as a healthy amount [351.31] Stephen: of analog as well it's probably about 10 analog down there yeah all sorts yeah so i kind of looked [358.99] Stephen: at this and thought does this tell me anything about what i fly and what i've noticed is there's [363.15] Stephen: one conspicuous absence from here and that is cine whoops and apparently i really don't like [368.27] Stephen: flying cine whoops because the closest i got was to build a two and a half inch ducted quad and i [373.63] Stephen: just thought oh this is terrible i hate flying this and i and i never repeated that so there's [378.75] Stephen: a couple of quads there with split cameras there's one in one which is actually isn't here [384.59] Stephen: that i i i've been repairing that's a four inch with a split and there's a gap RC uh i think it's [390.43] Stephen: a sig net three with a run cam split which is quite good fun and i've i've done a little bit [396.19] Stephen: of filming but generally i just go for dvr and almost all of the serious filming i've done is [402.11] Stephen: this guy on the right with the the orange tpu parts and the blue propellers and that enough [409.55] Stephen: that i can carry one of those insta 360 smo 4ks that beta fpv did which is like a stripped down [417.95] Stephen: 4k action cam that runs off your lipo with a beck and that works really well for most of the kind [425.71] Stephen: of hg footage that i wanted to capture and i can get something like eight minutes flying off a [430.83] Stephen: 750 mar 4s which is pretty nice so i just cruise around with that and take all the little scenic [436.83] Jack: pictures um john h says uh can you show us your favorite small god favorite small one sheesh um [449.95] Stephen: well right now i guess it's the one i fly the most and so i think it's the same as we were [455.07] Stephen: looking at last week really it comes down to well the ones that are here um are flying this alpha [463.07] Stephen: rc and they are just a clone frame i don't know what this is a clone of alpha rc fi 115 is the [469.71] Stephen: frame with emacs avant 2.5 props and this guy is an analog build with a baby ratel it's got [479.07] Stephen: an all-in-one kind of 400 milliwatt standard analog vtx it's got a flyru f405 with a gps [486.51] Stephen: tiny gps with a 12 millimeter antenna and that's just enough to mess around in the park and the [493.07] Stephen: ratel i find is about the best experience that i've had off an analog camera just really nice for [498.99] Stephen: doing a few stunts um you're not going to be racing on it because it's got wdr it's [503.63] Stephen: maybe a little bit slower than a racer would choose but it's just a really pleasurable [507.71] Stephen: throw it around the park cruising mild acro experience yeah so that's the go-to one i do i [514.83] Jack: do need a recommendation of um i think it's a two inch build or a two and a half inch build and the [523.63] Jack: size of motors i've got are 1105 yeah that works okay my other my other build using that frame is [536.19] Stephen: an 1105 one second yeah no worries yeah you might have to send me the link for that yes i'm [545.62] Stephen: these are i don't think you can buy these anymore do you remember you used to get hglrc flame [550.42] Stephen: purple motors yeah well that's them on on this one with walk snail which is essentially the [557.22] Stephen: same as the one i showed you just now but it's a digital walk snail build so 1105 works works [562.9] Stephen: great generally 1103 you need to go down to buy blades and anything kind of 1106 is a bit too [571.22] Jack: heavy cool sorry oh they kind of old dys or something uh what kv they are uh 75 i think [583.06] Stephen: 7500 78 75 now 2s i guess those those motors are a bit odd because you can run like a [592.18] Stephen: 6000 kv on 4s or two and a half inch prop without burning it but you kind of get to a point where [600.26] Stephen: all that extra screaming isn't really making you go any faster yeah so i used to run 4s just for [606.42] Stephen: the hell of it just to get crazy like response on punch outs but after a while i realized it was [611.54] Stephen: kind of just making noise and not doing a lot which is also what i had today i was testing out [616.9] Stephen: a new board a happier model one with uh with new gyro and that guy i'd forgotten on toothpicks [625.3] Stephen: i had buy blades on this these old you remember the old bendy bendy prop by blades they were all [630.82] Stephen: the rage a couple of years ago people were like oh my word you can get this new prop size it's not [635.06] Stephen: two and a half inches 65 millimeter it's totally different and and you get this kind of prop that [641.06] Stephen: was just completely bendy on the ends and when you went above about half throttle it just whistled [650.26] Stephen: flowed flats out yeah completely deflected and so that's what i was trying to figure out today i was [656.9] Stephen: like why the heck can't i tune this thing is it a bad gyro no it's not a bad gyro i replaced the [662.74] Stephen: that the screws into the stack from the plastic nylon ones i had to metal i said oh why won't [668.98] Stephen: you work why won't you work i just want to test this board out and it was the props here's the [673.06] Stephen: props i'd forgotten how bad they were i just had this moment of recollection where i looked at [678.18] Stephen: everything on the wall like everything on this picture it's like oh yeah i i don't really have [683.62] Stephen: buy blades why did i not oh yeah they they all the buy blades i had down in two and a half inch [690.98] Stephen: they'd all flatten out and they were useless so i only run the buy blades on the really ultra [696.98] Stephen: light stuff where i'm not going to be jamming the throttle hard enough to deflect them [702.18] Jack: yeah i i don't know uh the guitar pick hmm i don't know i'm wondering if i could use a [710.66] Jack: small nj's frame yeah three inch halo guitar pick hmm 1105 would take buy blades on three [719.78] Stephen: inch or you could get some decent chunky tri blades on a two and a half inch yeah i'm wondering if [726.98] Jack: like the the three inch apex or fair but i don't know with an apex frame you're going to be carrying [734.74] Stephen: a lot more weight and you probably want to go up to something like a 1404 or even more [742.1] Stephen: yeah because the apex three inch is pretty much just an arm shrink on on the bigger apexes there's [748.34] Stephen: that's probably still kind of a 60 gram frame if you think about the guitar pick that's more like [753.62] Jack: a 20 gram frame yeah yeah maybe i'll maybe i will have a look toothpick 25 by 25 i thought it was [766.9] Stephen: 20 by 20 25.5 by 25.5 having gone through the mill on this one yeah off from the original [777.14] Stephen: of what they called those those ancient the the ancient uh kind of f zero boards [784.74] Stephen: completely blanking on them the origin the original toy quads that everyone started putting [790.74] Stephen: cameras on those were 25.5 and it just carried on from there that's play dementia can anyone say in [797.62] Stephen: the chat what it is does does anyone know what the original wood power oh i don't know [807.3] Stephen: the inductrix inductrix that's the one i was trying to figure this out with fail safety [811.78] Stephen: of the week i was having serious blanks how can you not remember i think i um i was always too [819.46] Stephen: cheap to look at stuff like that so one of the reasons i've got this kind of army is you don't [825.62] Stephen: have many quads but you buy like premium components i buy garbage blade that was one [832.66] Stephen: of the inductrix the blade i don't know if that was because inductrix then went on to do a whole [839.54] Stephen: load of open arm designs as well i think as well as the original one yeah i can't i can't get anybody [851.78] Jack: uh yeah i just i can't get the apexes of the light and hardware and they say the inductrix fbv bnf [861.46] Jack: okay richard warrick from chat yep there it is oh my word do you remember those [870.18] Jack: there we go look at that that little nugget i remember the old like little whip antenna [878.26] Stephen: that's so terrible the tiny battery connectors i still want 70 quid for that that's hilarious [885.7] Jack: no reviews yeah like oh my god uh it's because it works with the it binds directly to like the [895.38] Jack: um spectrum satellites there's just a satellite don't there or whatever it's called i've got a [902.66] Stephen: 65 mil brushed one though that was uh it's at the front of the picture it was a 75 mil but i [909.14] Stephen: actually downsized it to a 65 just to shave off a bit of weight and be able to fly through smaller [913.94] Jack: gaps because i wasn't getting great flight time anyway oh look look what the cat dragged in [922.1] Tony: look look what i've done for caroline put my tv down there you go [928.58] Jack: oh can we get a live display of it going up and down yeah how do you do it is there a remote for [943.54] Jack: it or is there a button on the bed just clenches look at that the highest the magic i'm gonna leave [955.81] Jack: it up now we should play some holy music [966.77] Jack: anyway hello sorry we get we get him i was a bit late that tony don't tell you he's worried [973.97] Stephen: it was going to be a no show she's going to be him staring into the abyss i know did you see [979.17] Tony: someone on film on netflix got have you talked about it got hit in the face no while filming [987.17] Tony: someone in korea yeah quickly just saw her saw something on facebook and thought i'd [994.53] Jack: share it with you guys i don't know who it was have you yeah you haven't got a link to the story [1000.69] Stephen: of her uh it's in the chat i'd not i'd not heard of the person probably one of these local stars [1009.33] Stephen: that's massive over there and never yeah made it to our market they said they had 20 to 30 stitches [1015.97] Stephen: which i mean what did they hit him with like a freaking x8 cine rig well i think it was a cine [1022.77] Tony: whoop and it had guard protectors or something i read very very quickly so i presume in i don't [1030.37] Stephen: know something went wrong the actor suffered serious facial disfigurement and his wound [1035.33] Stephen: required 20 to 30 stitches that's a lot it's a lot of stitches that is because mine was like seven [1043.01] Stephen: in my face oh quite small face the attorney thank you sorry a spokesperson for the production team [1055.49] Stephen: told local media that safety precautions were followed during the shoot and the drone's [1060.37] Stephen: propellers were shielded by a protective cover there was no drone explosion or blades shattering [1066.93] Stephen: unfortunately for unknown reasons the drone accidentally hit the cheekbone area of co's [1071.97] Stephen: face and caused injuries 20 to 30 stitches just with a ducted drone in the cheekbone i mean yeah [1080.61] Stephen: it's a bit that's that's a lot fair and safe where are you what are you doing hello hello hello [1087.65] Failsafe: hello how you guys doing all right man have you got a camera [1096.21] Stephen: as caroline says when netflix are paying for the stitches you get all of them [1101.01] Jack: yeah they're probably really really small [1105.49] Stephen: um can we let's probably someone going can we make it more than 30 so it now says 30 to 40 [1110.85] Stephen: stitches can we fit an extra just couple in there just in the corner uh radio master has [1116.29] Jack: got a uh public service announcement do you want to cover this steven yeah sure so yeah there was [1124.21] Stephen: a problem not a big problem but with the the two smallest size of radio master master's latest [1130.93] Stephen: premium express LRS modules it turns out if you want which is what they were advertising [1139.47] Stephen: and if you plug in an xd30 then what is happening is you are connecting that battery [1146.19] Stephen: not just to the module but to the pin that goes into the back of your radio to the battery [1152.75] Stephen: so you you are accidentally like passing that battery power back into the radio and so there's [1160.91] Stephen: a chance there obviously if the batteries are different levels or if for whatever reason your [1166.59] Stephen: radio is supplying a different voltage to the regular 2s voltage then you're going to end up [1173.47] Stephen: with a ton of current flying through those little pins and something's going to burn out and [1177.95] Stephen: normally there's supposed to be a diode in place so power can get from the radio into the module [1183.79] Stephen: but power from the module doesn't go back into the radio and they forgot the diode basically so [1189.39] Stephen: if you've got the big chunky one with the screen and the gamepad and the embedded [1193.39] Stephen: textures or whatever they've managed to fit in there that's fine that's got a diode [1197.63] Stephen: but these two smaller versions do not plug an xd30 battery into them do not pass go just use them [1204.67] Stephen: at their normal like 500 milliwatt power output that's going to get you 10 miles anyway what are [1210.59] Stephen: you even doing what are you trying to do are you cold buy a hand warmer like that that's pretty [1217.47] Failsafe: much the yeah i don't know why i don't actually know why people well i see little reason to plug [1224.03] Failsafe: an external battery into those modules when they can only do one watt anyways like i powered [1229.55] Failsafe: i used to have a one watt neat and what's it called the media RC module and i just run that [1235.79] Failsafe: off my radio without issues at all so i guess it might be for some of those smaller radios where [1240.51] Stephen: you've only got one battery you buy good radios fail safe some of us buy absolute garbage like [1246.67] Stephen: myself with my tea light if i turn my tea light on to 250 milliwatt it starts beeping at me and [1252.67] Stephen: saying that bad things are going to happen oh yeah i forgot my names [1259.95] Jack: what are you eating this evening fail safe this is a podcast stop eating animal [1269.23] Tony: get recorded and going it goes on the podcast it's been like i know let's see if i can find [1276.27] Jack: some really crunchy food that's do you know what the good news is everybody what's that [1286.19] Jack: i got sent martian that fly [1292.67] Tony: crap ese people getting some some kind of weird sticker in there with their buying stuff [1302.75] Tony: i don't know what you're talking about i saw martin got one and sent me one thanks jack [1310.43] Stephen: oh yeah apparently you're a movie star i'm seeing you a copy of it well you just sent a picture of [1317.63] Tony: what you received and it was like easy little i was like yes he is yeah i know i'm sorry [1324.91] Jack: like you've got to think about it though he did give you vin diesel's arms to be fair [1333.07] Jack: i made you look so good but like guys if you listen to this and you you're slightly amused by me [1343.07] Jack: if you buy one of these enhance if you can't if you can't afford to buy one [1350.75] Jack: from here just do us a favor write us leave us a comment you know and for our audio listeners [1358.03] Jack: where's here it is uh fpv exchange and you're looking for the initial fpv rear RGB led board [1367.87] Stephen: opposed are you initial fpv is this your new enterprise however you've been initial fpv before [1374.83] Jack: i've been initial fpv uh before um used to be able to find it on ebay and that was my thing i [1384.83] Jack: own i own the um i i own the url so i might have to employ l to uh make me a website but yeah if [1396.75] Jack: you can't buy one just leave leave us a comment about the the led board and if you've if you [1405.31] Jack: received one by winning one or you've been a tester or you know you've bought one from me directly [1413.87] Jack: and if you like it you know leave leave a comment thumb it up share it yeah if you want tone [1425.79] Stephen: there's not much i can do there might be a couple of other initial fpvs [1430.35] Failsafe: yes yeah but i was the first one the first one initially yeah yeah i got oh i think i've got one [1442.43] Failsafe: also i got one when i got the ke two and it does look i've not put it in a quad yet but it does [1447.39] Failsafe: look well really well built you know professional you got the pins on the back to wire it up [1452.51] Jack: something like that yeah so if you can if you can help me out guys it'll be appreciated [1458.67] Stephen: i think we should get in touch with the other initial fpv because he's created jerry the [1463.47] Stephen: autonomous lawnmower and jerry looks pretty cool getting on get him on tone you drinking rosé [1472.35] Tony: no it's no i'd never drink that well that's just stupid i like red wine and white wine but it's not [1481.31] Tony: together [1485.23] Jack: have you hooked up the burning question have you hooked up the kk2 i haven't yet no i've [1492.75] Failsafe: not got around to it have you not will be this weekend have you not looked at the screen of of [1499.47] Jack: like it's intangible yeah like you cannot read it it's horrendous yeah i thought i thought i [1510.19] Failsafe: don't know it's probably polarized isn't it but yeah it's completely super isn't it as well if [1514.99] Failsafe: you can remove it from the backlight itself like the white section um but i'm not actually powered [1521.23] Failsafe: up yet so we'll see this weekend when i actually build it in a quad give it a go yeah but it don't [1527.31] Jack: help that it's so tiny you're just gonna have to guess the menus but i think the smell i've done [1533.87] Jack: your favor at least this in quad x format yeah at least i can do well it's quite funny about [1542.67] Failsafe: that actually as well um i went around posting pictures of it in discord servers uh it was like [1548.51] Failsafe: oh look at this amazing thing i've got about the kk2 and i put one in the fetish discord and it was [1555.07] Failsafe: just me with it next to a fetish esc and then i um put uh put it in the kiss ultra discord and end [1561.31] Failsafe: up getting banned for it for putting it into discord it's quite funny i mean you kicked me [1568.59] Failsafe: and i'll join back but i was just like uh screw kiss ultra and i just put a picture of the kk2 [1575.31] Failsafe: uh and i just got banned that's funny you know we can't like take jokes [1580.11] Stephen: is he just worried about this new competing no competing products i've got the the annoying [1587.87] Jack: he's i've got a parcel over there for him but i can't post it because we've got no [1592.43] Jack: international postage so i might have to let him know that you're not an asshole and that you're [1598.11] Stephen: just a dickhead from let's draw now he must know that that is not a competing product it's [1604.11] Stephen: like five years old and if anything is post i think it was the the screw kiss ultra thing that [1611.87] Stephen: i get a pretty good maybe it won't screw but who even needs d term who needs it yeah i know [1619.23] Frank: overrated this episode was recorded in front of a live online audience downloaded and edited to [1626.67] Frank: make sense when it played audio only censored to please the itunes people hosted on the internet [1631.95] Frank: forwarded through to your

benefits find out more at patreon.com forward slash let's drone out oh look at this [1649.95] Stephen: caroline tyler what have you found do do do do tony drinking rosey led board doing its stuff [1657.79] Tony: do it oh look at that look at that that's bright i like their motors as well [1665.55] Stephen: fat are they zings nice color no no they're the t motor ones aren't they with the funny little [1673.15] Jack: yeah that's really cool [1677.71] Failsafe: interesting do uh does the kk2 support leds as well probably not no i can't even [1684.51] Stephen: it doesn't have enough ram to fight the word led doesn't it support like a magnetometer which [1691.47] Stephen: even now like no one's using it could run a barometer and a magnetometer [1696.19] Stephen: no like okay maybe that was the one you you you put on this squad instead okay yeah maybe this [1704.75] Stephen: one because it had that support via beta flight whereas kk2 was basically not upgradable i'm so [1710.59] Stephen: glad i didn't put that anything it really scared me that board look just look like something was [1715.87] Stephen: going to go wrong i would have wanted a relay switch on the power that's that's the only way [1720.59] Stephen: i would have flown that thing with like a relay on the power but i forgot my rc link to kill it [1726.51] Jack: warning multicopters are not toys always make uh safety or priority hang on we need a banner for [1735.15] Jack: this um safety notice oh you got four ideas when when testing the when testing a bench calibrating [1742.83] Jack: the eses remember to remove the propellers always turn transmitter on before the receiver [1748.43] Jack: and turn the receiver off before the transmitter use firmware at your own risk [1754.67] Jack: here you go before the transmitter down p i editor no d no d [1763.31] Jack: receiver test good luck with that and then there's the mode self-leveling or auto disarm [1771.79] Jack: yes it will automatically disarm 20 seconds [1776.43] Jack: later flights than you would have the throw is set to zero no if lost model alarm is set to yes [1783.07] Jack: then you can't switch auto disarm off channel map no with the standard receiver it's generally [1790.11] Jack: assumed that you will not map any channels yes swap channels using order receiver channel map [1800.14] Failsafe: oh man this is going to be this is going to be scary it's going to be scary to fly scary to use [1805.74] Stephen: like mpu 650 not even you know like 650 you mean 6500 yeah 650 oh it's actually how we can do you [1820.7] Failsafe: get these like boards where you've got remotes like a remote switch like remote relay triggered [1826.22] Failsafe: boards which they operate with like little controller would need be at the ebay i think [1829.74] Failsafe: they are might want to get rid of them because then i can just yeah and put it on a pwm channel [1834.78] Jack: that's what i was thinking yeah that's right 400 hertz for ese or digital servo is low rate [1846.22] Stephen: analog servos i'm thinking if you run pwm can you get fancy off the express lrs pwm and do like [1854.78] Stephen: um a 300 hertz pwm because it'll drive 333 hertz pwm can you can you do that [1862.62] Stephen: it says 400 hertz oh 100 hertz okay 400 maybe you could cut down on the control latency a bit [1870.94] Jack: tighten up i doubt it don't think it was ever you got you got one you got two profiles that's [1879.34] Jack: all you've got good luck mate that's it that's all that's all you've got that's all the features [1888.3] Stephen: i'm sorry be fine and there was this feature set that led people to make long lasting sensible [1895.82] Stephen: sort of decisions like we only need three rotors because it's easier if we put your on a servo [1901.74] Stephen: so that was brought about by this feature set right so it might be challenging it might be a [1909.42] Stephen: bit of a challenge well i know fail safe can pilot his way around most things so uh i'm sure you do [1916.14] Jack: well that's it there's no well who's pinging fpv range thank you people here's like a little [1924.62] Failsafe: discussion topic i guess we could talk about um i'm not sure if anyone's seen well what's been [1930.14] Failsafe: in it well i thought the fpv news last week was the orca goes oh yeah dropping what to four to [1936.54] Failsafe: four hundred ninety nine dollars or something isn't that the same as the hd0 ones probably [1944.86] Failsafe: but yeah like the total price i think they only introduced it by [1949.02] Failsafe: 50 dollars and it's you know apparently it's a massive deal but not that much it doesn't come [1956.06] Failsafe: with it doesn't come with an analog module it doesn't come with a hd like no hd like i don't [1964.06] Stephen: even think they have a system surely there would i don't know i'm still a big fan of the uh the skyzone [1973.1] Failsafe: oh four x they're doing really well yeah and that's also as well the front the front bit [1981.66] Failsafe: it's like all flat so it's really easy to fit external modules on the front um yeah um this has [1989.26] Jack: been this has been done to death unfortunately but here's a bit of a news uh drone pilot please [1996.78] Jack: guilty to endanger the historic aircraft idiot so the incident happened but it was perfect [2004.62] Stephen: up with a hurricane yeah do you want to read it a drone pilot has admitted nearly causing a serious [2010.7] Stephen: crash at an ref memorial flight past mark bagley 49 flew a drone near a world war two plane which [2017.42] Stephen: i think was a hurricane from uh other reporting i'm looking at the bbc article here and it was [2023.02] Stephen: a battle of britain memorial flight yeah here we are hurricane carrying out a flight past when the [2027.98] Stephen: drone was pictured close to its wing and i think when we say drone here we're talking about a [2034.3] Stephen: camera in the sky type of dji contrivance there was of course a short-term airspace restriction [2042.46] Stephen: because uh those hurricanes and spitfires fly about as low as a bouncy lawnmower so um yeah [2049.9] Stephen: nothing should have been flying at the time the drone was seized from bagley and then last [2055.74] Stephen: it showed it was flying over buxton at the time the flight passed pc uh the police commented the [2062.94] Stephen: way that pilot flew his drone was unsafe illegal and totally unacceptable which i think we can kind [2067.74] Stephen: of get with because you've got to fly past it's not even you're going past an airstrip with predictable [2074.38] Stephen: kind of straight up into the sky flying they're doing low level fly paths which is just the most [2079.58] Stephen: stupid of stupid situations to go flying well what was he thinking in his brain i'm obviously [2084.54] Tony: wanting to get a nice shot but like what he was at an air show what was he expecting [2091.18] Tony: like if he'd got it out in front of me like don't take that clip editor [2097.98] Tony: i know he's good you you'd have said something wouldn't you you'd have said well you what you [2102.86] Tony: doing mate air show you can't fly that you idiot you know i mean you just yeah you do you do you [2112.78] Tony: just say something i'm surprised no one said anything so on being flown during the buxton [2118.14] Stephen: carnival in july and they had a memorial fly past in the carnival by the looks of it just a [2124.7] Stephen: bit different but i mean it's a carnival you've really got to be thinking why are you doing that [2132.14] Stephen: over anywhere around a crowd of people and the fact there's a fly past and you would have known [2137.42] Stephen: there's a fly past these are not stealth aircraft right these are big noisy engines they're quite [2143.26] Tony: quite big and noisy yes talking to big and noisy look at that yeah i saw a post appeared from uh [2150.46] Stephen: one of the kind of x-class drone racing people showing you uh shredding past a few gates as [2155.34] Tony: well tony yes i think um that was our clive in the chat who'd done that but yeah i've got a nice um [2162.78] Tony: a nice package from fossil that's nice look at the size what are you running there [2170.62] Jack: 42 20 yeah that's the point if the editor gets the get it out in front of her [2178.38] Jack: and then look at the size of that that would be oh no yeah do that at the start [2184.46] Stephen: do you want to send something in your inventory i'm all good the cheap shots are done how big [2192.7] Tony: is it then tony i'm pretty big [2203.82] Stephen: just wonder if you have any questions about tony's motor that was all yeah oh what would you do with [2209.58] Tony: that yeah where's the other four where's the other three downstairs and it was quite a big [2216.22] Tony: care package said to me jack i'm coming to yours we're gonna start building it with your um [2221.1] Jack: have you got have you got bullet connectors have you got wire for it we're not doing bullet [2226.14] Tony: oh no just say no to bullet connectors we're not we're not going back to kk two days mate yeah but [2232.7] Jack: you know he's got bullet connectors in here yeah he's racing you want to be able to change him out [2240.14] Stephen: like 200 quid a motor and take him half an hour to swap them i don't think the soldering's the [2244.38] Tony: problem uh apd 120s i think i won this actually the last x-class event we went to can you can you [2253.58] Jack: can you say that fail safe out loud you could have belled that there we go oh the edit [2267.5] Stephen: that's one i think the same size are you changing the props to go with that or is it the same size [2273.18] Tony: just a different kv uh same size just a different kv 12s for this one nice on the new sort of what [2282.14] Jack: voltage is 12s a lot without getting the without getting the current 10s is 42 so it's that plus [2289.58] Jack: like eight and a bit volts isn't it so 50 volts what is it 4.20 times is it 10s 12 12 [2299.9] Jack: 12 50.4 volts jesus you'll tend away you'll tend away from humans being able to feel that [2311.42] Jack: like you can just go around if you had if you had 10 more volts you just zap people with it [2317.58] Tony: yeah i'm looking forward to it but 48 volts carolina but when i was in texas which i think [2328.46] Tony: was probably nearly three years ago they were doing full e-ness and stuff on there it was just [2334.7] Tony: what you like watching a 5s go you know the speed of a 5s but massive you kind of run out of esc's [2343.66] Stephen: to use when you go above 12s i think only apd do the esc's there's a whole bunch that do 12s you [2350.14] Stephen: can get like a 12s esc for not too much money it might cost you 50 quid but it's not 200 quid [2357.34] Stephen: and then you go up to 14s and all of a sudden it's just apd or nothing that's it yeah that's it [2363.82] Tony: there's not there's not many people out there doing it stuff like that but i'm going to be [2368.7] Tony: looking forward to ripping 12s i think uh stubsy the welsh boys has just done a 12s thaw [2375.82] Tony: um i've seen that i've seen that a couple of times i don't know where he is [2383.34] Tony: i don't down the bottom i think south because they come to they come to wing to wheel wings [2391.74] Tony: and wheels um last year they so i think stubsy will be flying is this time which will be good [2398.46] Tony: because there'll be about seven or eight maybe even ten coming which will be good do you think [2408.14] Stephen: people are going to start using bigger motors because we saw people on x-class they'd run like [2413.18] Stephen: eight propellers and they'd have like center propellers and then outer propellers instead of [2417.9] Tony: big rocks i don't think they're actually allowed to use them in x-class for racing oh right that [2424.7] Jack: was just a gimmick yeah for yourself he said remind me can you point him out at wings and [2431.58] Jack: wheels if i do go if uh if david isn't totally annoyed at me we can go and give him some [2441.42] Tony: you gotta come down i think ryan's coming you know ryan i know it'd be nice to see him like [2450.46] Tony: i've seen him mountain biking and we're going camping next month he's coming down we're going [2456.22] Tony: camping he's a bit of an outdoor boy like me and he likes a bit of camping and all that stuff [2462.14] Jack: so uh you're probably getting your sleeping bag laying in for a laugh it'll be [2471.34] Tony: it'll be up and hide the sausage there's only one thing going in my sleeping bags i can't [2477.02] Jack: never do this the other i know it's mirrored you know what i know i i know it's affected me [2484.3] Jack: because like if i run into someone who's got something on their face i point the other and [2490.78] Jack: and i'm like i'm so used to being on here like you know i was just wrong you've done something [2497.5] Jack: to your brain i know like yeah it just yeah you just get used to like mirrored yeah apparently [2503.74] Tony: in space it takes about three or four days because you feel like you're upside down because [2509.5] Tony: you know the space shuttle and everything's not there's no upside it's just there's no right way [2513.66] Tony: up yeah it takes about four days and then your brain just goes dink and then you don't feel weird [2519.66] Stephen: of being upside down i was just browsing around and look what i found i found t motor also do [2526.14] Stephen: ascs and t motor that big do a 24s oh yes really 24s alpha 60 amp 24s it's a massive aluminium [2537.66] Jack: block of a thing can you can you show people hang on i've got clothes thing let me do that first [2545.98] Tony: so this is the ex-class that's the new one i'm having the one on the far left that's [2552.22] Tony: martin's new toy what this white one yeah where was this when was it this was wings [2561.1] Tony: and wheels that they're just gone oh i i i missed this then did i that's mine in the middle and i [2566.7] Tony: think clives or danny's on the right danny's i think so that's clives the middle one the middle [2575.34] Tony: one's mine it's got a little bit on the arms oh yeah no that's close and then um the one [2585.34] Tony: the very end was is this one here is the one that i'm bringing down to you jack it's fairly simple [2593.5] Tony: as you can see yeah is he is he finally using cap head screws well we lose it using big chunky [2602.22] Tony: nuts and bolts look you like i like how the way you can um move the arms to different positions [2610.94] Tony: that's cool so you can have it set up as an x if you want or have it set up like this [2617.34] Tony: look at that yeah that's my transmitter isn't it this this um [2625.34] Tony: yeah this setup you can this is how they're running in [2628.62] Tony: fast ones in australia in america this this frame style [2636.94] Tony: see if you i don't think you can you you can't zoom in and martin has actually screwed them [2642.78] Tony: look see the eses are screwed in not even sold what the hell we like the bullet we could do that [2653.02] Jack: hmm well you got stuff to do that with i don't know oh my word i've just found some comical [2661.02] Stephen: motors browsing the t-motor cycle that that demon is a 42 20 and these guys have like 160s [2671.82] Stephen: nice i think they're for agricultural drones yeah [2679.9] Tony: it was so windy this weekend it was absolutely horrible it was like constant i'd say 25 mile [2688.38] Tony: wind it broke the um it broke the big um gates down we had like they literally [2698.06] Tony: they literally snapped in half in the wind and they have scaffold poles [2702.14] Tony: that's how we knew that yeah it was horrible when i was sleeping on [2706.7] Tony: the tent on the top of my van basically just doing this all night [2713.82] Tony: so loud the canvas flapping and i was like oh for f*** sake just shut up careful with [2720.62] Jack: the swearing because no it's not even the editor now it's um it's youtube [2727.58] Jack: what really what you're not you're not allowed to yeah you're not the first like 10 seconds [2734.54] Jack: of youtube yeah they changed all the terms and agreements up so yeah you can't do or say [2740.54] Tony: anything now oh it's so just getting you can't mention anything anything that might be considered [2746.94] Stephen: inflammatory apparently you're not allowed to talk about immigrants in a positive light in [2751.02] Stephen: the uk anymore about people specifically crossing the channel in a boat in a positive light that's [2755.9] Stephen: all bad they're all evil demons come to stay steal our babies and fry them and eat them [2761.1] Stephen: it's just ridiculous any other discussion is not allowed [2765.66] Stephen: any of you [2769.58] Tony: this is the best race of the day you're watching now this is danny and clive it was absolutely epic [2775.9] Tony: didn't they clash yeah right coming up i think i think clive overtook [2779.9] Tony: danny and then boom there you go oh no a bit of water to the other those menis [2786.94] Jack: fossil so do you worry i will sort i will sort out an led board offer yeah do you want to show [2794.94] Stephen: your what you found yeah check out this just the monster stuff that's available i was thinking oh [2800.86] Stephen: i wonder why no one's using bigger motors and this is a sensible so it's like a kv 400 tony's [2807.26] Stephen: one is like yeah it's a 420 kv 42 20 right so that's the status is 20 high 42 wide yeah stay [2817.82] Stephen: lean and um so here we are this this is a slightly taller chunkier one which is running at um [2827.26] Stephen: yeah success with 14 or 15 inch prop but then the beast of runny there's this dude which is [2835.5] Stephen: 10 centimeters wide six centimeters tall so that's like twice as wide as tony's [2842.54] Stephen: well it's not that much longer than yours tony but it is twice as wide all right [2853.18] Stephen: see how they're running this they're running this chunkster it's 130 kv and they're running [2859.58] Stephen: it on 48 volts so that that's the the the 20 uh 12s that we talked about 12s on a 32 inch prop [2871.66] Stephen: on 12s if you go go down a little bit and go down to say 65 kv on a 30 inch [2881.26] Stephen: or a 32 inch then look at this voltage you're at 100 volts yeah but you must be swinging massive [2890.46] Stephen: 24s well probably yeah 30 inch 30 inch or 32 inch 32 inch and it's doing [2904.22] Stephen: it's pulling 28 kilos per corner at the top there 28 kilos each corner [2911.42] Stephen: thrust each corner so that is enough to lift well definitely lift you probably lift me as well [2918.54] Jack: is this stubby is he the welsh yeah hello you're excited and how how the heck do you get this [2926.78] Stephen: thing going well the answer is apparently this giant aluminium block but i'm sure people aren't [2931.58] Stephen: using this for x class because they're just aren't they must be for agricultural drones [2936.54] Stephen: you can get this uh it's only 60 amp though so you need to be careful with the props [2942.06] Stephen: it'll do 24s 6 to 24s yeah but it's going to be spinning just big stuff in it and not going [2948.78] Stephen: well just heavy lifting it's like torquey yeah agricultural yeah it'll do 60 amps that's not [2955.74] Tony: actually that many amps that says 80 amps on there doesn't it but you need like 120 [2965.31] Stephen: well if you go really high voltage you don't need 120 because every time you increase the [2970.35] Stephen: voltage you can drop the amps a bit so indeed just depends depends how you balance it out i guess [2976.91] Stephen: what prop you use i was just impressed by all the just crazy stuff i didn't even realize existed [2982.27] Stephen: like 100 there's another 120 kv have you seen it's made of agricultural drones [2989.63] Stephen: i've seen one or two i got kind of fascinated by that when i first started getting into drone stuff [2994.67] Tony: there's um i've watched a channel in america there's a guy turns up with a trailer and he's [3001.07] Tony: got these just humongous dji crop drones hot swappable batteries programs it to go and fly [3009.55] Tony: out and spray the crops they're huge and then they come back lands fill gallons of this liquid [3014.99] Tony: backing hot swaps a battery and then it sends it out and just turns up at people's farms in [3020.03] Tony: america you know they're vast massive bloody places and just these twin drones follow along [3026.51] Tony: and then there's another one scanning on top it's brilliant well imagine if if you can carry in [3032.03] Stephen: if you're getting in excess of 10 kilos of thrust on each corner and your your quad maybe weighs 10 [3038.35] Stephen: kilos that means your payload capacity is in like the 20 to 30 kilo range and and that's nuts that [3045.15] Stephen: would be like 20 liters of whatever you want to spray on your crops i guess [3052.27] Stephen: which is like you could carry a case of beer and still have like enough power for [3057.55] Stephen: quite acro handling can you imagine that yeah man crazy he's from pontipole [3064.83] Tony: oh that's pussy pull that's it yeah he's got a 12s thaw now so what's for comp i don't know [3079.62] Jack: uh i'm gonna go see frank saturday i think um that he said field oriented control i don't see [3091.62] Stephen: where it says four comp foc it says on it fok field oriented control the principle of [3101.7] Stephen: fok is to control motor output via the adjustment of current flow and angle angle of current i think [3108.66] Tony: this has been mistranslated in a hilarious way normally happens with the chinese stuff [3114.98] Tony: yeah offense am i allowed to say that or not don't know i mean it's pretty factually correct [3124.78] Stephen: i'm sure we do a worse job if we were trying to sell stuff to china i imagine british people [3128.78] Stephen: trying to write chinese i think it would be just just terrible terrible in many ways [3136.94] Jack: tony's trying to sell like a horse or something [3140.46] Jack: um yeah don't worry two orders i know i got a link i got to finish setting it up i didn't realize [3154.7] Jack: that it didn't work i might have to message you richard what's happening with every order [3161.34] Stephen: sorry pardon me do you say free opium with every order yep that's what andrew said [3171.9] Jack: first orders only catnip catnip i'm surprised i didn't get in trouble for [3179.9] Jack: like sending catnip impregnated cards i'll show you yeah they're quite hot on that [3187.66] Tony: how do you get away with that organic materials don't know yeah they don't know anything in the [3192.54] Stephen: country organic or rotting or anything well yeah we had Andy RC on here and he seemed to be the only [3202.54] Stephen: person that was involved in cadex who was actually proofreading anything so i think [3208.94] Stephen: a lot of companies just don't bother they're just like yeah whatever doesn't matter [3213.18] Tony: trans very solid done [3219.74] Tony: that's another one [3225.02] Jack: oh man i'm dreading god knows what he's going to get out so it's probably going to be a whole song [3236.22] Jack: remind us if any of you are patreon's and we're in the bonus part [3241.42] Jack: we'll have to go through the editor and talk about tony's bell song [3248.22] Jack: the editor whatsapp group because he'll just sit there and just make songs and like [3253.74] Stephen: like edit pictures like cole's wobble cole's wobble song was amazing i know there's no [3261.34] Jack: yeah it's incredible if you want to if you actually want a decent [3264.38] Jack: and bonus pod just remind us to talk about that there's just loads of [3270.22] Stephen: editor can we get your choice cuts put up as a playlist on spotify or something your ldo [3276.7] Jack: choice cuts yes that'd be sick yeah that's it greatest hits probably release a whole album [3286.06] Jack: at the time he's finished it's like i'm real i'm gay mom that's that's a that's a classic now [3293.34] Tony: i sit here so that's for me that's still on my tarantas i just get the two of you say and i go to [3299.82] Jack: a job i know mate we might have to get you just another tarantas that's like clean um [3308.06] Jack: i had catnip orders with from jack yeah if i know you've got a cat you will get a cat um [3314.54] Jack: guys that is all we've got time for fail safe look i'm doing it again stop see the dog is [3321.42] Jack: fail safe any messages for the viewers nothing particular no yeah that's it right kiss ultra [3331.58] Jack: esse's so that you can use those with a gate gate to board kiss ultra chocolate esse's [3343.82] Jack: yeah thanks karen guys thank you for tuning in and you've been watching lecture now [3353.42] Jack: uh on my channel in roughly about 14 minutes i will have a premiere of uh [3367.34] Tony: which was done where where was where was that where was we flying and how many years ago was [3374.86] Jack: roaches with dandy rc uh in 2018 you've just edited now i paid i paid cold to do it like [3385.18] Jack: if cold did you do it no one would see it so yeah tune in go there i'm also what's this editing [3391.58] Stephen: thing you talk about editing yeah jam it on the internet and call it good yeah there's also [3398.86] Jack: i'm also on the thursday night show from midnight till one as well so that's thursday [3403.82] Jack: night show.com you've been joined by you've been listening to lecture now thank you to all our [3409.9] Jack: lovely patrons they keep us impartial we're live every thursday patrons are wonderful people [3417.34] Jack: because of them and the lovely people that tune in come join us next week we will be seeing how [3423.9] Jack: fail safe did with
