    I think that this single video has gotten hundreds of people into fpv multirotors. So classic!

      I think you are definitely right!

    It's crazy that they were flying those huge things with 8/9 inch props inside that place! Love to come back and see the old videos, carbon miniquads are great but I think there's still a charm and coolness to the Rotor Bones platform.

      at the dawn of the miniquad-era I started to race my batbone tricopter and damaged it so hard, that i switched to a miniquad instead of rebuilding it. everytime I come back here, i think about rebuilding it as a V-Tail... that thing just looks monstrous in the air, can't get enough of it!

    I'm a long time viewer of the show and I'd have to say, that was the MOST entertaining episode to date! Thank you for everything you guys are doing to promote our hobby. I'm building my second tri at the moment and would soon like to delve into FPV! Love the new Bat Bones frame!

    One of the best episodes yet. Awesome footage. The scene over the smokestack was like the James Bond where they dropped the guy in wheelchair down. Also found myself ducking a few times going through the small openings. Good stuff!

  • @mwoneal81
    @mwoneal81 11 років тому

    One of the best videos you guys have done, combination of perspectives from the multi's, operators and tripod cams gave it a motion picture feel at times. And the hex is outstanding, would love to see build/config video for it with the gimbal.

    I'm getting goosebumps man while you guys are flying that hex I love it guys!

    So interesting to see how the sport-quads have changed the hobby. From improvements to flight-controller processing and stabilization, pushing people to run these gauntlets at break-neck speeds without a care in the world for crashing (for the people w/ strong frames)... I still come back to these older videos and enjoy the fun and wonder of the new-at-the-time designs and tech (gimble camera mounts, v-tail quad, etc)

    Guys Id just like to say that has been one of the best episodes so far. Mixing up locations,having fun with multirotor fpv,challenging each other and watching ideas develop. This episode has a fantastic message for all the Australian bureaucratics (CASA) who have made fpv illegal, PLEASE STOP being the fun police. The technology is here and there is no way to stop it. If an accident on a grand scale happens it will only be your fault for not adapting fast enough to the advancement in technology.

    Awesome work guys, fantastic location and heaps of fun. Def one of my favorite episodes. Love to hear more about the v-tail and how to set them up, I'd like to build one myself.

  • @kayaksach18

    That V tail concept of David's is pure genius. I would encourage you to offer a mod kit for this design. Keep up the fantastic work and thanks.

    The videos just keep getting better and better! Keep up the great work and amazing production.
    Could it be that this whole time the missing link to Flight Test was David? I think so.

    Maybe the coolest flight vid I've seen in my short time of watching quad etc. videos. You guys seem like a really cool bunch of educators :)

  • @MyTechWebTV
    @MyTechWebTV 11 років тому

    Awesome episode! I really enjoyed this one. This video makes me much more interested in tri and quad copters. I must admit I liked the V tail the best. That should be an option that can be purchased! I love seeing how David will take something to the next level!
    I would be great if you would provide a build list for each copter in the video on your website so people would know what parts and pieces you used beyond the basic kit.

    I wish I could have been there flying my Bat Bone along side you guys. I'm so jelly I can't stand it!
    I have been a little busy lately, but I will be making some minor changes to my Bat Bone V-tail, and posting updated photos on the site. Thanks again Chad!

  • @Nightlord001
    @Nightlord001 11 років тому

    Questions about your tri-copter:
    What lipo are you using? (V, xS/xP C-rating) ?
    What ESC are you using (xxAmps, etc) ??
    What Motors are you using (kV, Power, prop, etc) ???
    What flight time do you guys get out of it ????
    Thanks for all the great videos

  • @HeaanLasai
    @HeaanLasai 10 років тому

    I really like that you can get a good system without going broke.
    With Hobbyking's kits they always recommend super expensive parts and a multirotor easily lands in the USD 800-1000 range without any fpv equipment.

    pretty neat build cant go wrong with fatshark. youve inspired me to go a lil bit more urban with my videos. i Use an upraged phantom 2 with h3-2d zenmuse gimbal and gopro hero 3 black edition and the same exact goggles yall use.

  • @jeffgrave
    @jeffgrave 11 років тому

    I love the concept of a tri-copter, less complicated. The back tail servo tilt control, what keeps the KK2 control board from constantly compensating for that control? Is there a setting in the firmware for that? What RC channel to you have the back tilt control on?

    @Cyberdactyl 11 років тому

    First, congrats on the new digs. It's awesome the show and business is growing.
    The bone is a really cool looking addition. The V-tail mod should definitely be a consideration as a kit.
    The flying was top notch. But video was at least 10 minutes too long.
    Keep it up guys.

  • @Flakbat

    @MrBillbo911 11 років тому

    V-Tail kit is a MUST!!
    Can you possibly do an in-depth dive into it in detail as well? What motor sizes, props, ESCs were used? More importantly, how is the KK2 set up differently for this Tri-Quad Hybrid?

  • @jordanhuusy

    i love this style of fpv i built a quad finally and been working out the kinks while waiting on a fpv transmitter and camera i got those two in and tried fpv and failed because i couldn't convince my self to just watch the screen i kept looking up to the quad and back down but i climbe to the top of my roof and flew the quad out of sight in my yard and forced my self to watch the screen man its fun i was flying threw the woods in my back yard and under my truck so awesome

  • @DobyxRC
    @DobyxRC 11 років тому

    Love it! Thank you for all what you guy's do to add to this incredible hobby. I am curious to know if you do any post video stabilization editing to the GoPro footage? or is that raw footage from the cool battery/camera tray set up?
    I'm off to your store to load up on some gear now :-)

    What would you suggest for the best multirotor for around $200-$400. It would need to carry a gopro and have GPS but no POV. I'm just worried Ill put all my savings into one that doesn't work well.
