Arizona Adventure! | First Off-Road Experience
Переглядів 6420 днів тому
Hey! In this video I take my Frontier on some Prescott National Forest trails right off State Route 169 and Cherry Road in Arizona! Nothing too crazy, just a little bit of wheeling to get oriented with the new terrain and vehicle. Wanted to share my first real “off-road” experience with everyone. Please sit back and enjoy my little tour of the valley! Song: Out the Back: Biddy Sullivan (Inspire...

Переглядів 2,1 тис.2 місяці тому
In this video I retrofit my Doodlebug DB-30 powered by a Baja 97cc engine with a Harbor Freight predator 212cc! Watch how I not only get the original motor to run, but also how I adapt the minibike for the larger Predator engine swap with some other repairs and upgrades. I also filmed most of this with my new GoPro Hero 10 that I just purchased. Let me know what you think of the footage! Apolog...

Aerodynamically Stable VTOL - Part I
Переглядів 1,6 тис.Рік тому
In this video I introduce this new concept aircraft I designed and built. It was created for one mission, to be able to take off and land vertically. This means the plane must be able to hover, and be stable in both vertical and horizontal flight, all without any kind of gyro. More videos coming to you soon! Thank you everyone for watching!

Handheld Firework Mortar (4th of July)
Переглядів 912Рік тому
Hey everyone! In this video I show of a handheld mortar that I built and tested. THIS IS NOT A FIREARM OR DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE. THIS IS A FIREWORK LAUCNHER. This device was over engineered to ensure maximum safety and was tested with low power fireworks. This is basically a larger handheld Roman candle. Do not attempt to recreate anything in this video especially if you don’t know what your doing...
How I Made a Baguette Rocket
Переглядів 291Рік тому
Hey everyone, in this video I take a good ol'fashioned baguette and turn it into a rocket. I'm not sure why I decided to make this but it sure was fun! Surprisingly the rocket flew extremely well and I may try to develop this even further. More videos to come, a lot of things going on in life so I cant focus on UA-cam all that much at the moment.

Can You Build a Bazooka? (DiY Rocket Launcher)
Переглядів 37 тис.Рік тому
In this video I show off my newest creation, my DiY rocket launcher/Bazooka. This device launches Estes model rockets that are designed to fly out of a tube instead of a launch rod. This is actually a relatively safe project, but I did not go into detail to avoid inspiring anyone to much. Do not repeat the experiments I showed in this video. Apologies for low video quality in some parts, I spen...
Retro RC Autogyro! Will it fly?
Переглядів 4,4 тис.Рік тому
This is my newest toy to my collection of flying machines! It is a Autogyro! An autogyro is a very strange kind of flying machine, a mix of a helicopter and a regular airplane. I love flying these in simulators but I always wanted one to experiment with in real life. This pooped up on Facebook market place and I got it for a good price and only had to do a few modifications to make it work. Wan...
My DIY Ekranoplan (Ground Effect Vehicle)

After seeing many different youtubers trying to make their own RC ground effect vehicles and ekranoplans I decided it was my turn to try and make one! This video goes over my first iteration of my own homedesigned and homemade ekranoplan. This was my first attempt at something like this and for someone with no experience I think I did a good job.

giant ufo?
Just ordered them, thanks
Awesome!
I love sand!
its great!
Can i have help with the remote bc i cant get the lighter to work
Love ur video u gained a follow
Thank you!
That was very cool bro keep going 🎉
Awww i bought this game bc i thought it was multi-player :( oh well still seems fun
You should try a turbo
What valve are you using?
Yo trust me get a torque converter it’s so much better for tough terrain and it’s stronger than a centrifugal clutch and it’s so easy to install
Ima switch my pulley thing around like that too good video bro
Great Job! You really did a lot of improvement!
w bike, take it to college w u
Can you make them NOT Flash?
Hey man get a billet flywheel the stock predator flywheel is cast and likes to explode once you get into high rpm keep your legs safe!
Not true, ive hit well over 6k on a stock flywheel
Can you do a tutorial on the paramotor frame?
f college u dont need this u should go to youtube
Captain John can you do a tut on the paramotor frame plz!?
Cool
Thank you for this fantstic review. 🎉
It was a pleasure to go to school with ya 🫡
Welcome back, can't wait to see what you make next John! 🏜
Just graduated, ... "GET A JOB"! 😱😁😝🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇸
Cache toi toi et ta famille, tu en sais trop sur le programme de recherche secret du gouvernement français ils vont venir te chercher et te noyer dans du vin
wow i just tried it it is very cool!!😁 nice vid!
Thank you!
lmao if u know what was going on around that time the killing of millions of jews
everyone should keep playing and keep this game alive
Agreed
@@CaptainJohn im gonna hop on rn
make sure you use the current server ip. as of this comment I think the ip is 160.251.58.131
Neat. I fly a paramotor, and we steer by pulling lines that pull the tips of the wings down. It might handle a bit better if you added brake lines.
do they also stay solid? or only strobe?
There is no solid mode. I assume it’s to make them last longer with the small battery.
What is the toy name 😊
I believe that the brand is FMS, two wingspans model they made 980mm and 1400mm
can u give me the names of materials
shaggy from scooby doo teaches you how to drone strike the grass
Great Job! Excellent keeping things simple. Perhaps a little more weight…try adding an action figure!
Haha it definitely needs a pilot!!
So smooth. There is one glider called lidl or cheetah. It only costs around 6 dollars and has a 1 meter wingspan. I will buy a few and experiment.
Awesome! Very interesting
Nice mod. I just recently saw hobby lobby started carrying those. They are super good for $4! I also bought several of the larger "walmart" gliders (I haven't seen them in walmart for years though). I want to do RC mods on those too. You might beat me to it! 👍 great videos. Keep it up!
Oh that’s great, they are awesome little gilders. That’s great! I love doing the RC conversions and trying to make them work haha. If you have any questions you know where to find me!
This takes a lot of the work out of building the body of the plane.
Sure does, it’s a fun challenge as well
5:33 the "little part that sticks down" is to hold the battery in place, no problems with 3S or 4S after a year plus. In fact if the battery is not inserted fully the canopy can't be closed. The clip from the video showing the battery falling out had no canopy to hold it in place. Pilot deserves what they got, if the canopy came off he should have landed not tried inverted manoeuvres. Nor have I had problems with the landing gear flying from grass, though yes they are loose but I fitted a slightly larger wheel and bushed it. Rolling on and on on a hard surface shim the wheel collars to give a slight friction fit to the wheel to act as a light brake. The biggest problem I can see is using Ovonic batteries as the two I bought were about half their rating and I would not buy more, used now solely for bench testing.
Tbh a baguette rocket launcher Is prob one of the best ideas I’ve ever heard. If you do decide to build it good luck 👍🏼
Thank you! I may try it haha
Very nice video...just a crying shame in the USA now...this is technically illegal...not for the fpv equipment...but for flying "out of visual " sight...
Yep, it’s really is a shame! It’s crazy
Definitely one of the next purchases I want to get. But they were out of stock so I got a plane instead. Flying on a 22 is an experience if you ever get the chance definitely do it! Great video
Have you flown on a 22? Sounds like a super interesting ride
@@CaptainJohn yeah when my deployment was over I flew back to the states in one. It was a wild ride lol
Great job! Are you going to school for aeronautical engineering at all or just a hobby? You’ll be all set for the civil war haha 😆
Going to train to be a pilot, but I wanna have a little shop and build my own plane someday
@@CaptainJohn that’s what’s up! Good luck
Loving your videos man. Definitely subscribing. This video reminds me the movie October Sky.
Thank you! Thats a great movie, I definitely see how my project is like the film haha
@@CaptainJohn I envy your skill set
Reminds me of a stinger or strela great job 👏🏽
Thanks!!!
@@CaptainJohn you’ll be set for the next civil war haha 😆
The only time an LCS actually works and not spend more time broken down haha. Great job man!
When’s the next sp build it’s been 1.8 years
Sick dude
Thank you!
Awesome! Probably needs more weight.
Cheap Eflite company - same Trojan, same pilot, same cheap paint, same electronics (except something "smart") - but triple price up!
