    I'd love to see something like this pulled out of a backpack (or even a hip pack) and flying an autonomous search pattern during a wilderness search and rescue mission. Maybe have it ship video feed back to a small base station with visual processing software to spot potential points of interest, and tag them with GPS for further investigation.

    Hi , ESC ADVICE , to run smaller dia motor , increase or advance commutation timing to increase torque . increase the pwm frequency in stages to increase efficiency and also raise or lower ramp up power to better match the hysteresis of the magnets and the windings. this helps prevent desyncs and reduces motor temp , And finaly change to d shot 300 or 150 for a more stable less prone to noise signal , Cool project .

    Bravo 👏 great project!
    For about 10% of the cost you can use an omnibus F4 controller that would provide all the functionality you need.
    I think for those of us in the hobby of flying things untethered from a computer FPV would be more rewarding. Using expressLRS with a runcam split and a VTX with the omnibus F4 OSD.
    I’m definitely interested in building the FPV version.

      I don't have experience with RC planes (or making them) but I have played with 3d printers. Does this sound reasonable:
      1. design wing (or segment) in CAD
      2. print the skin of the segment with a single permiter and the core of the segment as a 'solid' piece
      3. slide skin onto solid core segment and apply kevlar / cf / glass + resin
      4. once cured, slide wing + skin off core (more complex wing geometries would require a core that could collapse inwards)
      5. (optional as skin should weigh on the order of grams) dissolve skin (with acetone, water, alcohol depending on filament)
      this would have the same result as what you are proposing, but allow for a 3d printed base part (easier fabrication) and require less material to be dissolved

    I would love a nerdy video explaining the full setup and other items needed to run one of these. I fly micro planes already with the same motors and servos. But I run regular hobby grade tx rx. Ivr got my first cheap fpv setup on order already but uav would be fun too. I see the rx you posted that this is using. What do you need on the pc side of things to connect to the plane and program your waypoints?

    Love how most of video was about the plane doing fun stuff; exploring new environments, meeting people and other creatures. Didn't really get an intro to see the lated editor of the plane, until ~10:16. Thanks for some tech insights from 10:40. Realize build was a collage of 3-4 wing design prototypes. Nice to see all the early variations.
    Would love to know more about the design specs. Took some notes (likely missed many details) Maybe you could add real specs to the video description if so inclined. Realize, you may be still considering tweeks, etc.

    the nano goblin was always very well received and people still look for the kits. i would humbly suggest there is room for a well designed nano fixed wing fpv platform. it would be amazing to fit an HDFPV goggle feed on a very light frame. so if you are monitoring for interest that's one more plus one on a well designed nano frame.
    the optimal would have been a nano goblin new or used but just didn't luck out with finding one quickly enough. bought a dart 250 but only after the nano goblin looked prohibitively expensive to find new or too time consuming to find used

    There's lots of tinyewhoops running 0802 motors with blheli_s, so it definitely can run tiny motors. There are a few settings in blheli_s and blheli32 (whichever of the two you're using) that should be adjusted for the specific motors you use. For the standard uses - 5-7inch quads, with around 2306 motors - the default settings are pretty good but I expect that the reason the tiny motors didn't work is because they do need some settings adjustment. There's a few videos on youtube on what each of the settings are for.

The farmer said it was his because it was on his land. My friend begged the farmers to let him have it back. The farmer agreed to play him for it. The game was that each of them would take turns kicking each other in the plums until one of them gives up. My friend agreed and since it was on the farmer's land the farmer got to go first. The farmer was a huge guy and my friend said he kicked him so hard his feet came off the ground. He thinks it took 30 minutes before he could get back up. It took another 30 minutes just to feel like he could take his turn. Right as he was about to kick the farmer the farmer stopped him and said that he could just have the drone back. My friend thinks the farmer might have wanted to just kick someone in the plums for fun. I think he might be right. 🤔

    DJI Action 2 would be also a great camera with 56g a bit heavier, but supports 4k 120fps and flat profile.

    Without a gimballed camera, he's right, it's better as an FPV drone. If you can somehow gimbal and stabilize the camera without adding much weight (I don't think it's possible), it would be more useful as a UAV. Unfortunately, I just don't think the technology is there yet (or at least the required tech isn't available to civilians) to build a functional UAV of this size. This clearly works, but it doesn't seem to have that much real function.

    Very cool! I was wondering, what does an autonomous flight plan look like for this? Is it a sequence of actions, kind of like G-code? e.g. turn to heading 150, fly 100 meters horizontally and +20 vertically, adjust prop power to 80%… this kind of thing? Or does it use absolute coordinates? e.g. fly to lng X0, lat Y0, alt H0; fly to lng X1, lat Y1, alt H1… or maybe a mix of the two?
