Full scale flying delorean part 2: drone, doors, hood

This is the second video of the Full scale flying Delorean project where I finish up some mechanisms on the car like the front hood louvres and automatic doors. I also build an initial test frame for the drone out of some spare aluminium profiles I had lying around from a previous project. weighing in at around 8-9 kg this frame will probably to heavy to carry the Delorean body but it's main purpose is to function as a test base to see if this configuration could even fly and find some initial PID values. The motors itself are way overpowered to lift the frame on it's own with each motor capable of lifting around 14kg. Another issue of this initial frame is the flexibility of the aluminium. When trying to yaw left, the left front motor and right back motor will spin faster, twisting the front of the frame to the right and the back of the frame to the left, making the thrust of the 4 motors point in the opposite direction of the yaw motion that was intended. the weight and twist issues will probably be solved with the next frame made from carbon fiber. Estimated weight for this would be around 2kg.

This is TH-cam, and yet you didn't include fake drama, a pretty girl, or a cute animal? How dare you sir! Take my upvote!

[@BadLuckFPV]

If only your name was Scott. Then I could tell you you're doing great.

[@cosmicrdt]

Flying delorean? I haven't seen one of those in... 30 years!

[@MotoRideswJohn]

Remarkable engineering and fabrication, Brian. You have us all very excited. Wishing you the best success.

[@BrianBrocken]

Thanks man 😁👍

[@NwoRun]

Long waiting and welcoming ep2. lets go!!

[@sips3812]

this is absolutely amazing. I wish you well, Brian!!

[@bluewhaleadventures152]

This is the greatest lost foam casting plug of all time.

[@ovalwingnut]

I see what you did there...

[@bluewhaleadventures152]

@@ovalwingnut :-)
I’m just thinking, if a stainless delorean is cool, a magnesium one would be 1000x

[@ovalwingnut]

@@bluewhaleadventures152 I like the way the "Whale of Blueness" thinks.. I'm not sure it would be safe to drive it during the 4th 🔥but any other day would be a blast (no pun intended). Blue, you R "amusing me". Which ironically is the word "MAGNESIUM" with the letters re-arranged - go figure! You RoCk! Cheers BWA152

[@MartyWilson-]

I love this project. Very nice work!

[@badcrumblefx]

This is amazing!

[@motoflyte]

gnarly project

[@Creative_Electronics]

Hey Brian, blijft echt een topproject om te volgen!! Ziet er echt al super goed uit!!
Leuke video weer :)

[@BrianBrocken]

Merci makker 👍

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

Flight testing around a bunch of very expensive vehicles with no tether - ballsy!

[@spr00sem00se]

To be honest its a bit silly. There is bound to be a failure that will send it off into tge wall. There always is.

[@donnytucker]

Heck yeah this is awesome! Can't wait for part three! I'm interested in what you ended up hard coating the foam in, what paint you used for the metallic metal look, and so much more. Nice work.

[@raoulman1]

Magnifique !!!! Will u set up neons for tunning ?

[@user-qb8yr4vb4u]

This is definitely gonna blow up Remember me

[@danielhipp5541]

Awesome job, Brian ! Have you seen my jet powered flying Delorean ?

[@1_mg_1]

A gyroscope may help with the longitudinal stability. Very cool project, looking forward to seeing the end result.

[@PRAR1966]

1.21 Giga Watts ~ Great Scott !

[@al3k]

that's an idea.. how about having a kite release so it can harness the power of lightning.. put a few chunky capacitors on, should work a treat.. :D

[@sosmundial]

minute 4:00 I thought it was the red car of Matt Trakker from M.A.S.K cartoons (in Germany there is or was, 'cause I saw his photos ten years ago, a M.A.S.K fan who built all the masks in a real size. Really apreciate people like all you, THE FANS, that came reallity a dream with much effort and share your art)

[@jdeg2000]

Nice!!! I really hope you plan on using a Futaba fp-t8 to conttol it 😂

[@adayinthelife5496]

Wow!

[@martyschrader]

Surprised you didn't use CF tubes for the hinge pins. Coulda saved another 100 grams there, maybe more?

[@chrishechtl8330]

Awesome! Are you going to have fans under the tires with Neopixel LED rings to shine the lights down too? The scale is impressive!

[@BrianBrocken]

Yes i do plan on adding LED's (not necessary Neopixel) to the car, similar like the one in the movie 👍

[@NicoSmets]

Amai, zeer knap.

[@BrianBrocken]

Merci Nico 👍

[@user-pj7pj9vi7e]

looks like it might be stiffer if there were two full length straight middle rails attached on opposite sides of a box/cage that doubles as the bottom also

[@Lucasisme_creates]

When you become famous, will you remember me?

[@HesmiyuMC]

I'm wondering how much more efficient, and quieter, this could be if you could use Toroidal propellers rather than these standard ones?

[@airgunningyup]

awesome!!!!!! subbed

[@BrianBrocken]

Thanks man, much appreciated.

[@JustiisLeague]

Can’t the propellers be on the wheels that fold up?

[@ovalwingnut]

Masterful. My sole is flying.. I'm foaming at the mouth with excitement. So yeah, Mikey likes! Cheers from So.Ca.USA 3rd House on the Left (call before just stopping by)

[@harveyweizman]

This would be so much better with ion drives….

[@queeg6473]

If you are gonna cover this in fibreglass be carefull on your choice of resin as most will melt the polystrene

[@BrianBrocken]

Thanks for the heads up. I already covered the front louvres in fibreglass. I always test the resin/paints first on scrap pieces of foam before applying it to pieces of the car. 😁👍

[@madsnorway0251]

Deluxo from gta 😂

[@dandaniels851]

Fast fwd, Fast fwd, Fast fwd... still no flying Delorean.😟😖

[@teaspoon1987]

LEETTSS GOOOOO!!!!!!!

[@tablespoon1985]

YEESSSIIIRRR!!!!!!

[@Obliviono]

This is heavy.

[@Causegamr1]

Step on it 😢

[@Walkertale_Official-Industry]

Bro's making the Deluxo from GTA0

[@did3d523]

tube to big , not rigid build , PID must be setting

[@lenadams854]

yo

[@EssGeeSee]

Oh, to have money.

[@Justin_80]

Now just upscale that to carry my fat a$$ and I'd buy 1 for every day of the week.
