Casting a lead RC sailboat ballast bulb in CNC aluminum molds
Just showing how I make a ballast bulb for a US1M class sailboat. I have other videos showing the CNC carving. There is also a link to the design files and a build thread below.

Getting the first test footage and HobbyKingQuanum 3-axis gimbal test. I was flying my f550 hexacopter line of sight and didn't really know what to expect from the camera. Not perfect, but not bad either. Simply put, it's no GoPro, but not bad for the bucks. Recorded in 720p 30fps Quanum gimbal is not bad, just need to get used to it.

Taking some yard laps with the 200 quad testing my new vtx. This is my scratchbuilt CNC frame with DYS 1306/3100kv with 4045 props and 3s 1100mah. I finally had enough transmit power to make it through my brick house so I could take some laps around it. The video is straight from the Fatshark DVR, so you see what i saw. 2.1mm lens is nice is the small yard. Unfortunately, my flight gets cut a b...

Trip around the back yard using the Spektrum Va1100 camera mounted to a QX3d. Other than a quick indoor test this is the first time I have flown with this combo. I am not used to the extra camera weight, but it handles pretty well. Had two crashes that I was able to recover from without stopping the flight. Those guards are great! This is recorded directly to Fatshark V2 DVR. Don't know why the...

I did not notice the interference as much while flying as I did watching the video. It was also not as compressed/pixelated looking as ...

Drill mount and speed control for MM-3 grain mill
มุมมอง 4.1K10 ปีที่แล้ว
Very quick video of the mounting bracket and simple speed control I added to the grain mill. The bracket is plywood and bolted through the stock MM-3 base. The speed controller is a dimmer switch control wired into the middle of an electric extension cord. This is for very limited, low amp draw use, and is not built to code, just a slapped together project for fun. I wanted to get rid of the ti...

    Hello Very nice video, everything really clean, and safe ! I see you are using half molds ( molds costs, as you said on other video, ok with that ). Is there a lot of work to make both halves joined ? If you had both halves, do you think the trailing edge would fill ? and how would you fill the mold, center, leading edge, trailing edge ? What is your feeling about plaster or refractory concrete, fire cement ? used in the same way, being warmed at correct temperature before pouring molted lead. Very nice and interresting video, and yes, I should have read the build thread on rxgroup ! ! ! You are realy inspirationnal, thank you .

    • @ukktor
      @ukktor ปีที่แล้ว

      This is just a test of the machining setup. I didn’t actually need a bulb this size. I made a larger version for a US1M boat that I did use and it is much larger. The larger piece of aluminum was pretty expensive, so I saved half the cost. Also, my machine is a CNC router, not a metal mill, so I saved half the wear and tear on my machine. I only made a few halves for myself, so I did not need anything more complex than this. I do plan on doing a more complex 2-part mold for IOM bulbs in the future.

    Nice job. Love to see people making neat stuff like this. I like the idea of larger front tire and long wheel base to improve stability at speed. Have you tried to incorporate a seatpost for sitting position. Also, would it help to mount the battery lower, like under the footplate (I guess you risk ground contact though). Thanks for sharing.

    It's a year later and it works like a charm. It can use two frozen one gallon apple juice container a day during the first day or two of a strong fermentation. Then it settles down to one change a day and eventually can go 3 or more days. I keep three gallon jugs in rotation. One in the chiller, one frozen in the freezer, one in the freezer on its way to freezing. It can take a day to refreeze fully, so I change the bottles before they fully thaw for a quick refreeze. Takes fifteen seconds to change out!

    You have to start with the knob on full power and then adjust the speed to get the proper grind RPMs. It takes about half a second and became a non-issue. I am using a torquey-low speed 1/2" drill as well. It works so well, it's kind of sad, because I don't have to put it in use for very long! :)

    If a company like kickbike can mass produce hundreds of kits for a certain price, what makes you think that I can make a one-off, totally unique one just for you, yet stay cheaper? Good Luck with that! I made this scooter on my time, for my fun and entertainment. This machine is priceless, there isn't enough money in the world to buy it.

  • @Rusiputki
    @Rusiputki 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know man, I've just done the same and mine was pretty shit. The drill felt nervous and it will stall while power is running through, or sometimes it wont pick up so I need to speed up the voltage then back off again as it doesnt have juice to turn. I have feeling this is not very useful if you want to slow it down massively which is what I'm after. There wasn't very good consistency in the power delivery. Maybe I need a speed controller
