THIS IS MY FULL TIME JOB. Here are other ways that you can support me: www.fpvknowita...
You should do a series where you slowly add upgrades until its flyable.
Edit: You could put polls in your community section of youtube for the first upgrade
Yes! LMAO! That would both be hilarious and, I think, very informative. It would also probably drive poor JB nuts :D
@@shmucklingNah, If anybody could do it without losing it, that would be JB for sure!
yes!
and end up with a nazhul
step one: carbon frame
step two…..
step three: profit?
@@istim and hopefully reroute motor wires on the actual arms(the fact their just hanging reallyyyyy bothers me lol)
"Drones done wrong" would make for a great video series. Too small props, KV-battery mismatch, etc. What happens when you spec things all wrong.
YO BARDWELL, PIN THAT COMMENT BRO.
It also makes for very clickable CZcams titles
I'd absolutely watch this...
Absolutely the best idea, make the most horrible things ever and try to freestyle them
I was very disappointed you did not fly it last time, and I'm even more entertained watching the result of the flights. This is so funny. Keep trying. I am really enjoying this series.
This is my all time favorite style of video. Anything weird or experimental is just a blast to watch. Most of us know why certain things won't work but it's still very fun watching someone show you why it won't work!
When the experimental thing at least has some advantages then it can be pretty interesting to consider - the 3 inch octocopter that Rotor Riot did a video about springs to mind - but when it's just all round using-the-worst-option-you-can-find, then it's not that entertaining because it's just "we knew the esc would blow up quickly... and it did. We knew the frame wouldn't handle a crash... and it didn't" etc...
thats my $0.99c build.... lol
IDEA : Cut the exact frame out of titanium, transfer the components, and try flying again.
That would be a damn expensive frame
Imo aluminium would be better choice.
Or print it from CF-infused ABS.
depleted uranium because why make it too easy?
@@ferocious_r would the printlines integrate the fibres or just be put hot onto lukewarm abs though.
You are still making the same triplex like laminated mess untill you find a way to divert onto the Z axis with fibres. By melting it, in finely powdered salt for instance.
I think you should fly more viewer submitted creations.... some of them might even work. It could be a whole series :D
Underrated comment.
there's a Spanish channel, DeDrones, that on its golden days used to be specialized in flying the most stupid frames designs you could think about. From a frame made of coke cans to an iPad. If you're interested in that, check the channel
Love this idea
Thank you for listening to the comments and putting in effort (even tho you and us knew it would be a waste of time).
This is like the “Hardcore” mode in the Diablo videogame. You die once, and you restart from scratch with a new level 1 quadcopter 😂
RClogger Eye One Extreme in "sport mode"
"More pieces than we started with" describes all my flying sessions.
Just call it rapid unscheduled disassembly and call it a day.
Love that you're listening to the followers, even when it's stupid! 😂 💪
This was hilarious! You should do similar stuff every once in a while. I really want to get into drones, but I want to learn how to build and repair them, so more build/repair content would be amazing!
JB! Love you for doing this
Proof complaining about something will get you what you want! The flight video! Man that thing flys like a 5"!
Well, at least it crashes like one...
Having already been... quad-blocked?... U-A-Teased?... NOTAM-ed Flight For You'd?... in the last video, I watch this one with literal trepidation.
Aaaaaand
I see my patience did _Not_ pay off, LMAO
Thanks for the closure man.
Thank you. I needed to see it
appreciate you showing us those "effects" JB. fun video.
Blue balls gone.
Yes! Just the video I needed 😂
I am intrigued by a transparent frame concept though!
Thanks for your effort nice video 👍👍👍
Getting interested in learning to fly, saw a doc on CZcams with you in it. Immediately subbed to see what I can learn.
omg yes! the video yesterday was such a tease
Definitely worth the view!!!!
this makes the pop-sickle stick quad shaun made even more impressive lol
If it's possible to fly a pizza box, This thing should have no problem.
I can understand some of the reason why this was built. Years ago, HobbyKing used to sell plastic frames for a 5 inch (albeit much sturdier than the one in this video). I'm pretty sure the ones from HobbyKing would have been just as easily destroyed in a crash. Either way, I still learned a lot from this video and I hope you do more of these.
It's like FARGO series - each next more and more exciting. Now I catch your idea - JB you start first season of your CRAKEN FRANKENSHTAIN QUAD)))) Waiting so much for next episode))))
thanks JB , to show how fast it breaks 👍,
other than that, it was a good experiment build
I actually think this would have flown on the older versions of Betaflight. These kind of builds were pretty common for new people entering the hobby about 7-8 years ago but with the fundamentals of Betaflight working completely differently now, especially the PID loop and filtering (unrecognisable from how it used to be for the people who don't know) it's no surprise that it just caused a windup.
My first quad was 3D printed. I went through several materials until arriving at carbon-fiber nylon. It can tank a tree full speed and fly away now. ;D
Like 10 years ago I had a laser and a lot of basically free acrylic. I made a handful of multi’s with Naze32’s out of acrylic, only took 1 or two crashes to realize acrylic sucks for a frame, looks cool though. Also built a few out of delrin and ABS. It wasn’t perfect but for someone new to the hobby and a handful of Banggood parts it was a cheap gateway drug into the hobby.
Feeling like we need to se more Rick!🤗
Ah thank goodness, now I have closure. ❤ It pleases me that my 3d printed effort (a 10 incher) flies relatively well compared to this 😂
Great... well... Crashing, I guess, Joshua! 😂
Either way, I still want to make a frame out of wood. But I'm going to apply some varnish and hang it on the wall. 😬
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Current pids nowadays are not tuned for softer frames. Back then 3d printed folding quad became one of my drones. Yes it would fly, but ofcourse not durable. I believe it was the hovership mhq2. Carbon fiber tmounted prop from tmotor was also a thing, but thankfully i was too broke and opt for plastics, it was the right decision.
I'm so glad to see a fellow goat farmer who also flies drones. Kudos 😭
I should note that not all plastic frames are terrible like this one. In fact I have a geprc darkstar 20 frame which is injection molded polymer and although it isn't perfect it works really well for what it was made to do. A frame that is designed well to reduce the vibrations feeding through the fc should be able to perform well (maybe).
Looks like the stuff that I got in recently for liquidation. (For Parts and scrap) poly carbonate sheet drones but where built in 2010 by someone in the navy.
Now that's what we wanted to see. 👍
The person who built this had enough interest & passion to design and cut his own frame and start experimenting with components, and would have eventually succeeded. I say well done.
A new person at our racing club was gonna use an FC like the first one but a stack for his first race quad build. He took the advice we gave him and didn't end up buying it but should probably forward this too him
A few months ago Botgrinder cut a grinderino out of acrylic and immediately it had a flyaway
I still find this very cool!! I think you should work with this developer and get a good flying one of these just to be a cruiser no hard ripping. It would be a good deed and who knows maybe something for awesome and affordable! And p.s. you should change your title to the most fragile quad ever built 💯🤜
When the PCBs are stronger than the frame. Lol
That quad is cursed. It only delivered disappointment.
I actually don't think the motor and a reasonable AIO combination like you used to replace the 16mm FC are a bad option for an ultra-light 5" setup. Those motors weren't powerful, but they were surprisingly efficient, and with the right combination on a very light weight setup, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad combination. I'd be curious to see this rebuilt on a 5" ultralight frame. I've done a similar thing with 1608 motors and it works surprisingly well. You could probably even run like 800mAh 4S packs due to the low current draw if you used really low pitch props and kept the weight under like 400g flying weight. I think there is actually something sound in there, but the initial frame and FC were definitely no good.
I just came in from flying my evening flight and blamo! New bardwell.
Very entertaining! I've popped a SpeedyBee F405 V4 in an old MJX Bugs 3 frame and moved sliders to the left after the first twitchy test flight. Not quite as fragile, so still flying it. 😁
Not sure why but I would like to see the rebuild video on this. You have 7 pcs thats a good enough restart. With some tape and filter adjustments, we could really see that thing soar.😉
And here I was hoping to learn something today. Better luck next time I guess.
Damn... you should invest in that frame company quick... they will sell a *lot* of -spares- frames! 🤣
Thumbs up. You tried this time! 😉🤔🇦🇺
Why Joshua, Why ???! Life's too short !!!! LOL
Because... why the heck not? 😂
Sweet release 😄
Just put the frame back together with JB Weld 😆
this was absolutely hilarious
Put a F3 in it with CLeanFlight!!! Either way, I want to see it fly right!
Honestly, a couple of plastic rulers would make a frame about the same quality as this.
Modern plastic rulers are less brittle, though.
Nice thx!
But why? 😂 loved both videos.
That thing flies pretty sweet, def better than the first one I built.
goodjob, from a bad example you can learn a lot... like from me... ...
and that's what we wanted! It's a pity that we didn't manage to record the flowing FC but we can't have everything :)
As soon as I saw that cheap flexible plastic, I knew it would flex like crazy lol.
Acrylic Frame is crazy
Bardwell, pls. The people need to see you fix it.
Get him to cut the same thing out of polycarbonate instead of acrylic AND 90 degree brace it with some hook and slot joined elements to keep it rigid - polycarb will still be flexible but bracing it should solve that and polycarb is basically indestructible - worth a play IMO :-) but probably been done by someone at some point
Now rebuild it and try to fly with the bf filters at max 😅
Nice video… for the third video, why not to install all the components from the last attempt in a cheap 5” carbon frame and try again?
So I just made a state of the art frame entirely from cardboard and threw some castoff electronics from 2015 into it. I'd be perfectly willing to trade you a brand new top of the line 5" quad so that you can make fun of my build and destroy it almost immediately. Hit me up if you're interested.
Since you have the electronics left - Make a series of: "Does it fly?" I have some ideas here: 2 sticks, toilet seat, trash bin, running tv, bathtub .... There so many options here 😂😂😂
You're forgetting icecream sticks.
awe.. I was having trouble with a frame I built similarly, also fragile and not meant to crash, I staked it to the ground with thin rope so it wouldnt do this until I could get the filters and pid tunes right. There are ways to deal with stuff like this. You're just inexperienced in jank building. Unfortunate you gave up too. If you had zero money and wanted to fly you would figure it out like a lot of us have. You're just too successful. lol A pid tuning video on how to tune floppy noisy frames would be a great video and challenge for you I think.
Eek, what a heap... Master multiplier slider should have been left of center. Default dynamic notch would probably need 2 count, in addition to rpm filtering.
the old gemfan 5030 i think it was they where exploding when i started flying 4s hahah cool times
Where can I buy.
...dont.
You've redeemed yourself sir!
Is there a Betaflight preset for plexiglass??
best video everrrr!!!
Wow, my prediction was pretty much 100%.
Do you want a single use 3D printed frame for the next stage in this experiment? And did you move up to a 20mm AIO or 25.5mm?
lol, thanks for that
Mm yeah that was good. Thank you😅
The props were still intact ;)
Im surprised that fence keeps your goats in.
It's sad they are wasting those JHEMCU GHF13 AIO 16x16mm boards on these quads, they are amazing boards for 125" builds.
I’ve seen a video about African built drones and some of the things they built with was hilarious but they flew maybe not the best but hey they used what they had and it in my opinion it was brilliant
Obviously that unit needs a KK2 board with steveis firmware.
I want those motors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see you gave in to the bullying in the comments on the last video 🤣
Rebuild it and fly it!
Is that a battery voltage tatoo bardwell?!
It seems that only good part in your drone is a capacitor 😂
Other than that, Mrs Lincoln, how was the flight? 😮😢😂
Is that made of polycarbonate or acrylic? Very different. Polycarbonate would not shatter like that
oke. respect earned back. now you should duck tape it back together, install a matek FC, make it fly anyway :P
what kind of frame material was it ? looks like plexiglass
Could you of recovered it if airmode was turned off?
What's the story behind whoever made this frame? Almost feels like they're trolling Bardwell. It's like it's made of uncooked spaghetti! 😂
Could you add a "Part 2" to the title or description? I saw the thumbnail for the original video a few days ago and just watched an embarrassing amount of this video before realizing that all the context I was looking for isn't going to be in this video.
I learned something 2day, thnx ¶ ; - )
