      Harindra W Pradhana Probably the world's greatest RC multirotor, VTOL, fixed wing, foldable plane... Which will then explode in a massive firewall when Josh test flies it.

    Darn. I wish you would have used more footage from the Tri. It sure brought back one of the things I loved about FT when David was still in the crew. The super smooth air to air shots. No doubt, Alex is a great pilot but that small quad is too twitchy for great footage. I hope he gets the tri-bug from David and builds his own as a camera platform!

  • @RCfanatic845
    @RCfanatic845 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would love to see you guys build a simple roll/tilt stabilizer gimbal from servos that use the KK2 board. I'm interested to see how you like it and how you go about creating the gimbal. Thanks!

  • @Vparanormal1
    @Vparanormal1 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    A tri-copter just by design is 25% more reliable, just due to the fact that there is one less motor and ESC that can fail.

    • @ulaB
      @ulaB 10 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Vparanormal1 You are forgetting the tilt mechanism and servo in that calculation. :)

    • @Vparanormal1
      @Vparanormal1 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Balu
      correct but servos are pretty reliable and if it fails, the tri copter still flies, if you lose a motor on a quad, it is history.

    • @TheLukey21
      @TheLukey21 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Vparanormal1 motors and esc's are pretty reliable too and and what are the chances of a servo failing while its in its neutral position

    • @Vparanormal1
      @Vparanormal1 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Actually servos always fail in the neutral position. The servo uses wiper arms that mechanically contact a round potentiometer (contains graphite) and this slightly wears out in the neutral (1.5 ms) position. I always tell RC people to leave the servos after any flight in a random position to avoid this.

    • @optionalcoast7478
      @optionalcoast7478 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      But in a tricopter if you loose a motor your dead but you can save it on a qua hex of Octocopter

  • @DJignyte
    @DJignyte 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    The carbon fibre base plates that David sells are awesome, my first and still current tricopter (2 years strong now?) was built with his plate, and it's been a phenomenal bit of kit. Very well priced and durable as!
    I hot-wire-cut a huge polystyrene canopy for it though, makes it easy to see the orientation at a distance and protects the flight controller.
    Really good to see David and you guys playing together again.

  • @williamlile3225
    @williamlile3225 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yea! It was great seeing David again. David is brilliant, yet it is his humility and love of life that makes me want to watch him on video. He has a gift that can't be taught, and draws in viewers.

    I'm sure this won't be read by you guys, but I just want it out there. I am new to the hobby and it's all because of you guys. I just bought the ar drone 2.0 and am loving the FPV and quad copter set up. I know it's not true RC, but I thought it would be a good beginner. Any ways Josh, Josh, David, and the rest of the FT crew thank you for showing me this amazing hobby I will one day share with my family.

    Im in the process of switching up my setup from my steadi qu4d drone and am looking to do 2 things and figured you may help me find the answer to one of them. 1. When using 2 of the 4 in 1 ecs’s how would you supply power to both of them ? 2 since I want to go from 4 x config to 8 x config to allow me to have a bigger payload, I want to use 2 batteries and noticed a xt60 harness for 2 packs in parallel adapter how would I measure each cell from my taranis receiver?
