In the great words of Neil Patrick Harris; Challenge excepted!
This hobby is so much fun…..
But only if someone else is building , testing your stuff and you get it ready to fly. 😅😅😅
It can take a month or a year to finish a project at least for me.
yea ill set the never crash mode ON :P
@@alexrcroes Wheyyy someone finally found one 😋
@@gizfpv im dying for the STL files to print them :D
Nice video. Also, thank you for posting a list of things that went wrong during the build: that's very reasurring to other people that their mistakes are not only theirs. ;)
I love your detailed manuals!
Flux capacitors can be tricky. Nice build, I've been waiting for this one!
Havent seen such a good movie yet. Great job!
What a beautiful video. I haven't used a flight control card for a long time. I watched an awesome video inspiring to do it again.
The amount of hard work you have put is Simply amazing, wish we could build something similar :)
It's easy to understand why there's so many UFO sightings LOL great job
Terrific build video!!! Lovely plane. I've had soooo many problems with my Flux Capacitors too!!
Haha I wondered if anyone would notice that :p
meticulous work is appreciated!👏👏
love the windows backgrounds every time fucking awesome!!!
I do try to keep them provocative :P
Hey Giz - fantastic video as always - Ive been wanting to do a night flight from..... the 'other side'
(of the water😁) for ages but not had the courage.
Brilliant viewpoint to see our patch👍
Dont spare a thought to the commentary, It was as good as anybody elses (including Mr pirate whose videos I really like too).
Goggles still going strong by the way!!
Many thanks and safe flying👍
Glen
Hey man, glad you liked the video, and that the goggles are still going strong. Curious how you managed to comment on the wrong video here though 😂
Great video. I have a 40" nano with the tail boom coming in the mail. This video should help.
Im planning to add a boom tail to mine at some point soon :D
Your build videos are simply the best!!! btw for proper current reading matek supports always tells you to put at least 470uF capacitor to the board (ESC) and if using bl_heli for planes it is strongly advised to put 1'000uF onto the ESC to avoid brown-outs. super job mate!!!
I suspected a cap would solve the current sensor problem. Good to hear my suspicion verified though, cheers :)
@@gizfpv I had same issue with my S1100 twin motor wing, capacitor cured it straight away 👍
@@stevietee10 Nice, good to know :)
Nice work my friend.
Big like, already following your wor a lot of time.
Great vid as usual mate!
Been waiting On this forever! LETS GOOO!
Sammmeee
bloody work of art!
Nice work, i like it
Wow nice work man 😁
Yes, your back. Always fancied a Nano drak. Do they fly as good as they look?
Thanks just for the opening of the box. Instant sub
Haha I did wonder if anyone was every gonna say anything about my box opening technique
Great video as always giz. What was your overall cost with everything to build?
Nice Clean Build :)
Thanks :)
Love the list of stuff that went wrong lol
Goes to show that no matter how much experience you have, things still can and do mess up 😂
That Wilhelm scream tho!
Excellent Video !! Are you sharing the STL for the 3D parts ? Thanks
Sorry it's taken a while. The links to the STL files is now in the video description :)
Hi, great walkthrough. One thing I didn’t see was where you measured CG and what your battery size was. I’ve built my nano and with everything positioned roughly and using a 4S 3200 shoved all the way to the nose I’m extremely tail heavy.
The CG was mentioned at 30:12 in the video. I did have to add some ballast nose weight to mine to get the CG correct
Where did you measure CG from?
@@Its_Mee_Bee the front of the main spar cap
Well impressed..
Hey man, Apologies if this has been asked already - but the 'Spray Adhesive' you brushed onto the model, I cant seem to find anything that is suitable, are you able to point us in the right direction? cheers p.s I have watched this vid about 10 times now!!!! gaining confidence for my first Nano Drak build that I am currently fumbling through
really superb !!! spectacular video, music, editing, everything perfect !!! I can imagine how much work was behind it !!!!
I am also waiting for my mini drak 40 "..... question but the CG is 7 mm or 17 mm from the central boom? I read that for the NanoDrak 40" it is 7 mm but I would not be wrong ....
may i ask you where did you buy shark teeth stickers? they are really perfect for this model !!!
subscribed to the channel !! ;)
Cheers man! Yeah it was a lotttt of work making this video. Nice to know it's appreciated 😊
From what I've read on the Ritewing FB group, the CG for the 40" Mini Drak is roughly 16mm in front of the spar cap. If in doubt, have a look on the group, sure there's plenty of threads about it.
As for the stickers, I brought them from eBay. Just search for 'shark teeth stickers' 😊
@@gizfpv Dang, CoG on the Nano Drak 40 "no boom tail"?
Team Legit site says 7mm forward of front spar, you say 16mm forward of front spar? and RCGroups only specifies a Nano Drak 40 with tail boom. (rear line of front spar)
Guess i'll just throw it and see what happens. You would assume that a CoG so crucial as the Drak series, Someone would know. And there is not much definitive specs on this model online. I've looked hard.
nice job :)
Спасибо! Можете написать, что за скотч у Вас?
Hey Giz, did you use 3M90 as the adhesive before laminating? Is there a good trick for getting the spray into a bowl like that for painting it on? Thanks bro 🤙🤙
I used off market 3m90, basically the same stuff but cheaper. I literally just sprayed a load in the bowl and let it settle for a minute before then dipping in the brush. Seemed to work a treat 😃
@@gizfpv Im picturing myself making a mess 😅 Ill do that part outside. Thanks again!
@@gizfpv Future tip for anyone reading this! Don't use a plastic cup to contain the 3M90. I did and it ate through it within minutes. 😅
Very Nice! I'm Building a Diatone RIpper R690 at the moment. hopefully i can reach those same speeds :-)
Nice, I've got one of them on the way for review 🙂
Super cool build Subscribed do more comprehensive and well compressed video thank you 😊.
Have a look at my previous videos. I have a whole playlist of build videos just like this one :)
@@gizfpv i will watch them all.😁
Was that the real "maiden" overhead hand launch? (30:14) Given all that went wrong in the build process, this is hard to believe!. Or, was this an all or nothing thoss moment? LOL.
At least the flight controller direction setting right, and the prop stayed on.
Missed seeing some 3D printing, or cad glimpse (at ~10:00). That spider looking plastic frame just seem to appear out of no-where.
hidden on the side vs shark. An eye-patch on the nose next the the caddx could give nice pirate look.
Love the tail lights. Almost looks like a spaceship (rocket engines lite up) when being chased. Not sure was by design, but great idea for formation flying.
Overall a very entertaining and informative build video. 😎👍👍
In all honesty, the footage of the Drak being launched was actually from it's 2nd flight, as I forgot to set up a camera the 1st time around lol. The 1st launch was done in exactly the same way though - 2 handed overhead throw and hope for the best 😂 The flight footage was all from the maiden flight. Fun fact, although the Drak flew fine on its 1st flight, it sounded horrendous! It was only upon landing that I discovered the reason why, which was because I'd forgotten to tighten down the prop hub! lol.
As for the 3d printing stuff, I actually did record some footage of the parts being designed and printed, but in the end chose to omit them from the video as the video was already getting too long. I did put some of the footage on my Instagram though :)
@@gizfpv Awesome. Love it. 🤣
How long does UHU Por need to dry when you use it like that ? Only used it as a contact glue so far.
About 3-4 hours. I used clamps on all the main glued parts too to help ensure a solid bond
nice man i want one. did you figure out how to calibrate your current sensor by comparing how much the charger says it put back into the pack?
I didn't need to. I just soldered a capacitor to the FC and that fixed the current sensor issues 😊
@@gizfpv oh nice man i didn't know that could work lol
How did replacing the nose with the 3d print camera mount affect the performance and CG? Seems like the it would be very nose heavy and adversely impact the original CG.
Nope not at all. In fact if you watch near the end of the video you'll see that even with the 3d printed nose, I had to add balast weight to the nose to be able to hit CG.
what a brilliant video ! Am I allowed to link it on my shop site for a pre-order run of Nano Draks for Europe ?
Yeah man, go for it :)
@@gizfpv thank you so much, man !
Is there room for 4x21700 Batterys? 2x2 Orientation? 42mm x 42mm x 70mm ?
What is the stuff in 77? That hold the board. Any link to AliExpress?
I especially like your step 37! Was that included or did you add that coating from experience?
From experience. If you don't add a layer of adhesive first, the paint won't stick to the foam properly
@@gizfpv What type of adhesive did you use? 3m90? I'm more curious how you got it to be a solution rather than drying straight out of a nozzle.
19:11 so somebody made a diamond cutout so you can glue in a diamond fill out with a hole in the middle?
Is the material of the diamond sturdier?
Because imho there would be an option to make a round hole in the first place.
Yeah I agree, I don't really get what the diamond cut-out thing is all about. Just seems like a unnecessary step
Nice bro, where is CG 17mm?, if from front wing how mm cg bro? Thanks to much
Yeah man, its 17mm in front of the forward spar cap (the foam piece that was placed over the top of the main spar)
How did you know what coins to use in the ballast and how many? Thank you m8. Outstanding.
Trial and error. I positioned my finger tips at the CG point, and then kept adding coins untill the aircraft balanced
@@gizfpv Amazing. I'm relieved, I though it was to be some complex calculation that would make my brain hurt. Cheers.
Good luck 👍
With what? Lol
Hi, where can I find the STL for the servo location template, please? Thanks. Your tutorials are awesome
Just look for 'nano drak servo' on Thingiverse. It'll be one of the first results 🙂
Thanks a lot! Cheers from Brazil
@@gizfpv done
Nice! Is that foam have graphene infused?
I don't think it's infused with graphene, but it certainly is a very tough foam though!
does the never crash mode work well?mines constantly crashing inshould probably set that to on
It works perfectly, but only if you can get your flux capacitor to initialize :p
With 25:30 Frsky OSD, can you change the osd display?? rectangles of altitude and airspeed and pitch and aleron indicator lines? Is for this or have other purpose? Nice Video! Congratulatiosn for 10.000 on a week! (I saw your instagram story jeje) Works for any board or only last matek boards?
The Frsky OSD is configurable, so you can change things around. The side bars (with the rectangles) can only show altitude, speed or distance though. The Frsky OSD will work on any flight controller that has a Pixel OSD chip built in.....or you can buy the Pixel OSD by itself and then wire it to any flight controller that has a spare UART. Cheers man, I've had multiple videos pass 10k views, but never in just 1 week, its a great milestone :)
Super tutorial!! N1
I usually have to do each assembly step 3 times as well ..
29:56 does an awesomeness increase also increases battery life ? Very nice and informative video btw
If anything the awesomeness increase will decrease battery life, but what you lose in flight time you gain in speed and noise :p
OMG that must be so loud .. saw the prop almost touching the foam at the motor mount lol
It's not to bad in cruise, but yeah at full throttle it screaaaams!
génial ! ! !
Where do you get the frame of the rc plane
Ritewingrc.com
Maybe I just missed it, but do you have a parts list?
I didn't include a specific parts list as such. All the parts used are mentioned and labled in the video though :)
Where can i buy the turbo juice?
You can't get it in shops. It's the kinda thing you can only get from a guy called Lee who hangs out in dark alleys behind the bins 😉
Y el centro de gravedad??
When do they go into production??? I want one.. LOL!!!
They're already on sale. Have been a available for about a year 🙂
Was the spray glue used 3m90 or something else?
It was basically a cheap knock off version of 3m90. Worked fine though :)
@@gizfpv lol i was wondering because i didn’t think 3m90 was watery enough to be painted on
@@gizfpv do u have a link for the stuff?
@@mikeybroe1 Look up Diall spray adhesive. That's the specific brand I used
@@gizfpv thanks
Oh yeah, every other than simple build is like this for me. Then almost even trip to the field I find an issue that is a mystery.
Latest one...my Autotrim switch does nothing. In the configurator and Rcvr tabs all seems well. And stick commands stopped working. Ug.
You spray-painted that thing in your house? Hardcore parcour
Yup! I'd never used spray paint before. Lesson learned the hard way there 😂
OMG! Plugs, plastic, non silicon wires, laminated wing! Is it for one flight?
Lmao what in god's name are you talking about? 😂
My only criticism is your use of Ludicrous Speed Turbo Juice. Why not Plaid Speed? Otherwise solid build.
hahaha
What does that stuff do?
Nice music n video. Whats the title?
The music is called 'Quand ca va pas ecris'
Do you build and sell these beauties?
Bello👌🏾
Hope you were able to fix that Flux Capacitor. lol
haha, damm things are nothing but trouble 😂
Nice Work Congrat, Where is the parts in 3D Printed, lololol
In the video description :)
👍👍👍
Are the nano Drak's even being manufactured still? They haven't been in stock anywhere in North America since late 2018. None that I've seen anyway. I've seen guys on Facebook groups scalping unassembled kits for as much as $1,000 USD.
Email Chris klick directly via Ritewing and he'll hook you up. Ooh and if I'm not mistaken and you're fast he'll throw in a free skypack as well.
@@travellingpilot thanks. I'll look into that.
RDQ has them in stock
You're thinking Mini Drak
@@ObsidianFPV indeed I was.
I was assuming that if the Nano drak was available, then the mini Drak and the regular Drak would be also. But that doesn't seem to be the case. I guess If I want the full size, or the mini drak, then I will have to email them as mentioned above.
turbo juice!! lol
I went with the Dolphin instead, too much work those Draks. Good building job nonetheless!
The Dolphin is a good looking aircraft tbf. The only advantage I'd say the Drak has is it is made of a very dense foam and it's almost indestructible. But it is complicated to build, and it's also very expensive for what it is. I'd say the Dolphin is a good alternative for those wanting a easier and more affordable build
@@gizfpv yes, that foam is hard I believe as the Multiplex one which almost resembles pure hard plastic. The Dolphin (white) has a very good foam as well, above average hardness and not easy to mark at all, anyway additional protection always helps. I suggest you use the clear (the one that looks slightly yellowish on the roll) Tesa 4024 packaging tape in places where it's hard to put Oracover. Works great
I got the dolphin to haven't flown it yet because I've never flown a wing or even a plane with fpv I'm a pro at freestyle quads and I'm pretty good at airplane line of sight I'm hoping it's easier than line of site and pure adrenaline fast fun can't wait
Hey great build. I am following your build on a new Nano I just got today. Is it possible to post your servo template? Also sub'd, thanks man!
Cheers for the sub :) hope the video is helpful. As for the servo template, do you mean the 3d print? If so it's on Thingiverse. Just search for 'drak servo' and it should be the first result :)
@@gizfpv Awesome thanks again!!!
We're can I get the turbo juice 😋
You have to know the right people 😉
why is your music so seductive
I'm glad you like it. I was worried people would find it tedious lol
never said i liked it. just stating a fact. lol
If you have that mental capacity, ardupilot is much more feature rich and sophisticated than inav, for those who are just learning about this stuff.
I've been meaning to do a Ardupilot build for a while now. Only reason I haven't is because it's not (last time I checked) compatible with Crossfire. Soon as it is I'll be on it
Cg ???
its a shame that RiteWing isn't what it use to be. They charge much but give very little in overall quality.
I feel that the quality is decent enough, but agree they do over charge. For the money they could at least include linkages
do we really need flight controller that piece is expensive.
Why does this music make me feel like im in the menu of PlayStation gran turismo
Haha!
Snif si bad is not in stock 😭
like step 220
God I miss the old days where you don't need a bloody computer program to set up a rc aircraft.
Haha true. But in the old days, could RC aircraft do as much as they do now :P
@@gizfpv
You'd be surprised!
One of my favourite aircraft is the Sig Wonder from the early 90's, it's very similar to your Nano Drak in design but using a O.S .15 engine and basic aileron & elevator.
The insane things I can do with this aircraft leave most pilots speechless, I'd do stall turns without rudders leaving people scratching their heads, or slow extreme high alpha post stall flight...I might have to build another one. 😁
Here's a link so you can see what it looks like...
th-cam.com/video/vtlQCD8C0bA/w-d-xo.html
Oh nice, it's a proper old school balsa build. I haven't done one of those in years. Yeah I see what you mean, it's kinda like a stubby nose drak. Can it do RTH though? Or have a OSD? Lol at Godzilla at the end btw 😋
O SENHOR JESUS CRISTO ESTÁ VOLTANDO, que possamos nos arrepender de nossos pecados e servir somente a O SENHOR JESUS CRISTO, pois ELE nos ama e quer nos salvar, basta entregarmos nossas vidas a DEUS!!
Unless Jesus is planning to support me on Patreon, I couldn't give a toss what he has to say. This is TH-cam, not a church, keep your religious fairy tales to yourself
1:45 this sound made me decide i would never buy this
Hahaha 🤣
blurred fpv camera
Maybe a little bit. Also think TH-cam has just compressed the footage a little which makes it look worse
Such a shame to take all this time and expense to fly a video game ...... you could stay home and play the full thing on the Computer.... it seems like an F-117 to me, can you fly it if the computer goes wonky ... ?
I'm going to assume your a 12 year old kid so I'll be polite. There's more to life than playing video games. You get a great sense of satisfaction when you see a aircraft that you built yourself actually fly. You also get a adrenaline rush each time you fly, as you know there's a genuine (albeit small) chance that all your time and money could be lost if something were to go wrong. The risk is what makes it fun. There's no pause or restart button.
And in regard to your question, yes the Drak can fly absolutely fine without a computer onboard. It's just a nice luxury to have.
No one likes a show off
who's showing off? lol
You should upgrade the flux capacitor to a mr fusion reactor. Far more reliable, and can be run with rc scraps as well.
I considered it, but I don't think my ESC can handle 1.21 gigawatts :p
CoG and AUW. Probably the two most important parts of building any version Drak. Your video is awesome. Without having a facecrook account and relying on youtube and RCGroups for critical info on the build im out of luck i guess.
