You're welcome man! and thank you too for watching! I'll be updating the gsheet soon for PLA+ and The Air75 as new additions but not entirely sure if they'll be part of the video - we'll see depending on how diff they are from the current lineup

@@im_ricebowl Cool!

That's great man! hmu in IG if you wanna share some pics but 4 mins on a 300mah 1s is insane!

@@im_ricebowl Im not on IG but on reddit and may make a video. Got it down to 17.3g's and going to put it up against DaoDesign's Nuffin (your 1.5mm t700 cnc frame is lighter at 1.6g vs 2.1g's of the nuffin). Trying to build an ultimate dense tree track whoop (well toothpick technically cause no ducts). Also I printed your ducts in PETG-CF and 3.5mm instead of 5.5mm and comes in at 2.3g's. Need to crash test that after everything but passes the pinch test.

@@markmakers eyyy yeah! dao's design is pretty slick too! I talk to him every now and then but yeah - his nuffin frame is great too and primarily is used for open prop builds. looking forward to your results for the ducts as I'm also curious to how that filament holds up!

​@@im_ricebowl I'm building up a few of his bigger frames and saw he had the smaller nuffin - which ended up leading me to your frame as well. The initial goal was for both to be open prop and I love the feel of them both without ducts. Then I liked the idea of quick swapping for the occasion and went through a bunch of duct iterations combining a c03 cam mount and middle top lipo mount into the duct structure which makes it much stiffer while not gaining weight. Once that's ironed out will share those files on thingiverse as a remix of yours or something.

hey man! slr i was on my way back to the PH. My recent YT videos and my channel actually has a link you can go to and my email is there too! there's also discord there I believe

I agree man and I wish the "old" stuff stayed longer. FPV tech just moves so fast but I hope companies keep selling parts for the older drones - atleast for a little while

hmmm how'd it break? I actually really like emax and had the original TH freestyle. The Aio of that guy lasted me so long (2 years in several frames and builds). unkess you know how to hot air solder, save yourself the hassle and just get a replacement board sadly

@@im_ricebowl both broke after a little crash, maybe due to some amps drawing

Thanks man! Someone found out XD. I have my gimbals super loose - just enough that when I let go, it springs back. i tried it tighter and man, idk it felt weird to me XD

そして私の友人を見てくれてありがとう I hope I said that right 😅😂 I might give it a try so we can have more samples for the excel sheet. would be cool to see how it'll perform - even other types of CF added filaments

@@im_ricebowl Thank you for your reply. I look forward to reading more 😊

Yeah, maybe we can slowly pinpoint the ideal brands for each type but we'd slowly turn into a 3d printing channel XD. I'm gonna try out some brands in the future so we can atleast get an idea of what we can use. Thanks for the info fam!

@@im_ricebowl another experience I have is printing nylon, supposedly PA 12 is way better than PA 6, well again, Esun PA 6 turned out to be incredibly better than PA 12 of a lesser known brand I tested. Keep the good work bro.

@@WKfpv ohh cool cool imma look into that when I fix my filament storage XD. Would be cool to try out nylon too for other parts of the drone like the arm end guards or mounts. And thank you for stopping by my guy!

If you want ducted whoop frames: - Fractal 75/65 (fractal engineering) - Hachidorii V2 (by me) - Quattro V4 (Spezilover) if it's open prop micros, you can try: - Nuffin (daodesign.sg) - TKS (and other frames made by jacks3dprinting - Odonata - Baby Turtle V6.1 (sub250gFPV)

funny enough I was sick the first week of my travel XD

Eyyy thanks for supporting me man! no rush, if you need any help just hmu in IG or discord. If you want to cruise or do simple flights, 0802. If you want punch and power, 1002. People have build both analog and HD builds too!

I actually really like polyprop! I haven't tried it in filament form yet but it's common for other injection molded whoop frames like the cockroach (I think). Would be cool to try it out so I can expand the sample data more. I'll take note of that. Thanks fam!

Thanks man XD

yeahh found an LED mod online and you can get those ring lights that directly connects to an existing port in the controller

we all make mistakes in the heat of pa- printing, I mean XD

Will continue work on it when I get home next week!

Thank you for the kind words fam I appreciate it! Actually really fun putting these together so I'm happy you guys enjoy it.

And thank you for watching and supporting me man! Making these vids is fun but you guys make the extra effort worth it!

Bingo! that is why I mentioned PLA was the unofficial winner cause in reality, it should really be a balance of weight, flex, and stiffness. Though your suggestion is a little hard to quantify, part 2 should be able to shed some light on the necessary minimum stiffness. Really nice insight which I'll take note off. Thanks man!

​@@im_ricebowl I was thinking the same. From my experience, the Meteor 75 (non-pro) frame protects props better than the Mobula7 v4. The Meteor 75 is a biiit more flexible, while the Mobula7 v4 tends to bend during hard crashes and sometimes stays deformed, causing the 40mm props to scrub against the duct edges. We need big coorporate testing like the Samsung Fold's being folded 100000 times 😁Looking forward to part2

@@aulma_fpv interesting. I believe in my class that was called "Plastic Deformation" where there's a certain load where a material will remain springy and return back to its original form. And after a certain point, it doesn't return to its shape. That could be smth I include in part 2. Thanks for the insight! I'll ponder about that XD

I was actually thinking of something like that just recently but still got no solid idea how to do the latching mechanism without adding too much weight. My last idea was similar to those 3d printed buckles but instead of 2 prongs it's 4. Great idea tho! smth to think about for the future XD. actually an idea just sparked XD imma write this down for future reference

@@im_ricebowl it'd be cool for.sure. Maybe some type of crab style pinch on the 25x 25 posts?

@@Shauny_D I get the crab style pinch, that could be a good design choice. Thinking of having slots on the duct for the flexing parts to lock in. That way, it's also at the optimal height regardless of the FC stack size. will get back to you about that actually, maybe smth for V3

@@im_ricebowl yes! That'd be a great feature. I could see myself bringing 3or4 ducts with me for breaks but then also popping them off if I'm outside and wanting that tactless freedom.

@@Shauny_Dthat would actually be really convinient too for repairs. No need to transfer a whole drone to a diff frame if the CF fra.e. the age of whoops with removable ducts is close. I can feel it 🤣 Really cool concept tho I'll defenitely be tinkering around that idea for the next weeks. I'll let make some updates when I make progress on it 😉

My friend was forcing me to use Canva for the thumbnail cause I kept showing him samples but they were in MS paint XD

I do what I love XD thanks for the sub and for the kind words fam!

and thank you for watching man! I appreciate it!

I've mentioned "we" a few times in this video and this is the exact thing the other person is literally working on rn 👀 they're working on having multiple materials to see how it handles. I'll let you guys know how that goes once we get compelling information for it! Thanks for watching fam and for the kind words!

thanks for the kind words man I appreciate it! Gonna be working on it when I get back home! lots of slow mo stuff XD

actually someone also mentioned it and I may give it a try one of these days when I get to. I suggested that it would be cool to thicken the ducts a bit to see if it can hold up crashes too. Thanks for watching fam!

Yall are so fast XD. Thank you so much fam! Looking forward to watching your recent vids too!! Great work aswell and as always my guy 🤜🤛

Great to see you here! Any plans of getting a Hachidorii v2? 😃

@@JUST_SID_ So fast man XD Thanks for the support and for watching man!

@@im_ricebowl You should try TPU 97A, it's pretty stiff yet flexible, and even LW PLA, though it is quite weak.

@@JUST_SID_ Gonna take note of that 97A for future testing. LWPLA may be interesting cause we can thicken the duct a little more. I will be trying soft PLA soon too!

@@im_ricebowl Yeah, include them in pt 2 or something.

Thanks man! Im glad I can be part of your top 3! I'm also a huge fan of it - so much so I brought it with me in my trip and even got my relatives to fly it XD. Gonna get mine soon too! hope she flies well cause I wanna use it for my Hachidorii lineup XD

@@im_ricebowl Would be really interested in your opinion on the Air75 as compared to the Meteor 75 Pro. One is 10g heavier while the other has much much bigger motors!

@@chesterlim15 Ikr! very different drones but I'm really hoping the air75 performs well or atleast finds it's own place in the whoop category. The 75 pro was super smooth for me and I think the air75 will be a middle ground. we'll see when I try it out!

@@im_ricebowl Too many drones to buy. Highly addictive and expensive hobby 😂

@@chesterlim15 Ikr XD I started this year with a whoop and a 3in. Now, it's a whole flock of drones 🤣. Ideally, I only have 3 drones (whoop, outdoor open prop, and LR) and just have loads of spares for those 3 XD

there should be another comment here with the same question XD

@@greedfox7842 imma agree with that XD tho their lava batteries have been getting praise so atleast we have options from the same brand! I like these small drones just cause it's so easy to travel with them and sneak in a few flights in some spots XD.

@@galardo3303 bruh what is happening with the mob 6 XD I've heard similar cases as well related to power. For sure happymodel needs to do smth to address this cause the Air65 is doing a lot better

@@im_ricebowl its a rolling dumpsterfire. Im now in contact with Gao from HDZ and this dude is so helpful with that issue. One email and HM is responding. They now told me to flash to beta 4.5 and try again. Im scared for my Tattus 😂. I already bloated 3 of my 5 (new!!) Tattu 300s. It sounds a lot like the fault lies in the SuperX HD at the moment.... HM and light boards apparently dont mix well. Think about the elrs diamond board. That thing was a dumpsterfire too acording to the forums.
