For those who are wondering about the failsafe: I was testing Stage 1 Failsafe with an aux mode. I didn't realize that if you left the aux mode active for longer than the timeout value, it would fail over to Stage 2 (disarm). I thought it would just stay in Stage 1 until you disabled the aux mode. So after 1 second of Stage 1, it disarmed itself.
2:24 - Kinda looks like NT, Down Under, or over in the country of Georgia - there's a bloke there that does flights over the beaches of the Black Sea, beautiful footage. So, 200mph limit? How does that work for RC model jets with gas turbine? A lot of those can exceed that sort of speed with ease.

Putting a patent on a frame cut out and now not putting out the STL files. Can't tell if hes helping the Hobby or just capitalizing. A 200 MPH Drone for the masses isn't exactly where I'd be going to make the hobby more friendly and less "killy" but yeah, lot's of people will love flying these once.
I wouldn't worry too much, it's not too hard to design a very similar canopy in Fusion and it's even easier to scan the frame parts and order a custom CNC cut of that. Everyone who wants one would be able to build a clone pretty soon, if there's enough interest.
lol - I did build mine a few weeks back and I had the same motor wire near-snip and cap positioning issue - I sniped my Mipi cable too the first time I closed the top 😅... same props so I used low profile nuts and shout out to Chris Rosser as he sent me stl's for new prop holders that fit the HQ 5.3x8 props - you just have to ask nicely 😃.

Thanks Joshua for all you do and have done for the FPV hobby. I myself with your help and many others was able to hit allegedly 150MPH constantly and a whooping - 202MPH allegedly top GPS Speed - The year was 2020ish don't quote me, but way before the record was set. This was on a 5" One piece molded carbon frame, 6s power, 2207 4s motors,1300-1600MAU-150C overvolted 6s powerplant. This build was inspired by Stinggys 4s 160mph build. I would have to say the weakest link overall was the batteries (heat) by far, also the negative solder point (heat) on the ESC was melting off, but biggest advice I ignored was to hand balanced bi- props and getting the over all total take off weight correct. This took me alone about 3-5 months to figure out- not to mention $1500 in parts - Hitting 150ish was pretty easy for me, but then like clock work @150ish it would shake apart violently or explode in to fire, fun - fun. The key to breaking the 150 barrier for me was adding weight yep! more weight about .7lbs to 1.2lbs was key here -This happened by mistake, one cold december morning abt 40 degrees F @ 200ft above sea level no wind and the humidity was low. There was a little ice on the grass that morning i headed out with the wrong over volted pre heated battery -it was 2000mau 6s 150c This was all I had -so why not send. The quad didn't shake @ 150/26k ERPMS it took off to 40-45k ERPMS and the sound was indescribable- quite scary and alarming lol. I had people telling me the could hear it a mile away. I was shocked I thought adding weight would slow it down from all the reading and research I did. I have documented the build online so one day I can build another -God willing. I would have to say the key takeaway is focus on flight weight, Props and weather conditions and you will get it for sure. Hope this helps someone get some magic smoke action- it was all worth it to see and hear that kind of power and ability from a cute little RC copter haha.. Funny thought tho I really think its boils down to battery technology that allows this. Duno, but two steps forward one step back is progress don't so give up and you can be $1500 in the hole with memories that will last a life time... Cheers!

I was in total ‘awe’ while building a drone on the AOS3.5 frame, after which I decided I probably won’t be building anything else on AOS frames again 😄
Definitely wish the STLs were public, I also landed mine too hard and shattered the bottom shell. I at least asked Brain3D to print them in ASA for the next set of replacement parts I order.
Buy the ISDT K4 Smart charger. Much more expensive but totally worth it. I've used the smaller ones but they really don't work very well for 8s. Getting into 8s is expensive but try it one time and you're addicted.
Honestly, somebody who scans, designs and 3d prints can scan and rebuild the model if they wanted to.. I could probably do that if I had the time and interest in this design…but this is super niche.
I think that any kind of flying that is videotaped and monetized requires faa part 107. That's weird how restrictive it is without applying for a waiver to prove adequate safety is used.
For the 100mph limit, does that apply to everyone or just part 107/commercial? I tried looking it up but the only references I could find to the speed limit were in the 107 rules, nothing for recreational flyers. I understand you need to be 107 compliant to post on YT, so you will need a waiver.
I remember a guy who made speed runs with quads and the egg was his design for years. I thought his name was Quadripper but it's like the web has been swept clean of him.
A soft material may flex in 200mph winds. Then to check if that’s the case you’d need a high speed camera and testing and iterations of designs (which may need to add weight for stiffness. Or you can just make it a hard shell and move on
The problem isn't that going fast is hard (it's not, you just make the thing more aerodynamic and put more aggressive 2 blade APC props on it) it's that it's really only good for bragging rights. In 2018 I was doing 131mph on 4S by just using the right props and the smallest 5" frame I could find with 2507 motors swinging APC props. It was trivial, off the shelf stuff. I got it to do 140mph just by using one of the newer short and fat style batteries instead of my 4S 2200 Floureon batteries, and 3D printing a dome to go over the top plate the frame with a sculpted cutout for camera relief, just simple low hanging fruit drag reduction. By the calcs this was more than maxed out for the props, but it's also GPS speed so even though it wasn't windy it may have been enough. The thing I realized in doing this was that I made the thing less fun. I wasn't doing 140mph 10ft off the ground, I was doing it at 50ft, and the battery could only handle two runs. 60mph skimming the grass going under tables and between bushes was exponentially more fun. Not only that but by making a quad more aerodynamic you asymptotically approach making it an airplane, as we've all seen in these torpedo builds like this that people have been showcasing on instagram and youtube for the last 5 years or so. That's when I gave up on it, I had a 3D printed with carbon spars frame design in CAD with arms made out of triangulated symmetrical airfoils and tapered fairings behind the motors, cone spinners for the motors, a torpedo fairing, and I was like "this is an airplane, I won't even be able to fly it like a quad because the camera is 5" away from the center of rotation and it's pointing up at 60°" and so I never built the quad but an FPV airplane that did 170mph and haven't done a quad like that since 😅
hey can i use digital goggles with an analog system on the drone or what ? if no then what is the system should I put in the drone to be able to use digital goggles?
If your digital goggles have an analog module like the HDZero goggles then yes. The old old DJI goggles can get an analog module but I'm not sure about the newer ones
@joshuabardwell is there a place a guy can purchase or get the plans to make a metric screw gauge like that? You've mentioned it before, but I'm not sure you ever said, and it looks handy.
A cheap set of fine o ring picks from Harbor Freight are the best for repining connectors. Not the orange handle ones, the ones that look like dental tools.
today I learned a 4-in-1 ESC is NOT necessarily using a 4IN1 radio protocol. the 4-in-1 ESC means there are 4 ESCs on the board, as opposed to separate ESCs. whereas the 4IN1 radio is not a ELRS radio, but instead talks on older protocols. So you can have a 4-in-1 ESC that talks to ELRS. Thanks @JoshuaBardwell I did learn something today.
i would buy one strait away but for something im going to crash (as your pushing your limits and killing lipos) i need stl files and they are not for available for download or purchase.
I NEVER sell STL's. It only takes one buyer putting the files on a sharing site and you never earn another dollar. You ALWAYS get screwed. I'm not aware of any case where a guy hasn't been screwed.
36:30 you can just plug all that stuff in hot? And you’re not worried about frying any of it because you plugged it in hot? I don’t know why, but I always thought that in order to, for example, plug in the VTX to the FC while the FC is powered, that you could easily fry the VTX because you have it a sudden jolt of power? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Turn on that ESC telemetry and put the ESC temp on the OSD. it’s going to be super important to know what kinds of speed you can hit before the ESC starts overheating. I’ve had problems around 250F
it doesn't seem to me that the faring design is all that hard to replicate and customize to 3d print with a 3d scanner or just with dial calipers and cad software. But I haven't tried so maybe Im wrong.
if u make some photos of the 3d printed part, and add some basic messurements, you could duplicate the part. i could. or just 3d photgraph it. if you print this cone with nylon, it will be much stronger
I still wanna build your freakin drone😂....my new years resolutions is to have 2 JB quads built by yours truly and send them to JB to tell me how I did😊 well....that more of a wish😁✌🏼
Really bummed out you weren't able to get some of this action on video. Let's say you could get the cad files, or design them tyourself, these parts could be made from something like TPU, that would make it much more crash resistant, right? Why wouldn't that work?
The yellow GNB 1500mah 8S lihv should also fit at 83x52x38mm, there is also a new cool 2 bay toolkit 8s charger m8d with nice interface and touch screen and a less than 2xAir8 price. shocked about the prints! at at aos site there was a link which said download for the prints so i ordered without prints and when i went to d/l it was only purchase so i cancelled the order and ordered with, im really surprised its not made of TPU, or other very strong material..... really need the STLs.
17:20 So, if he spent so much time testing & designing this frame, why did he not add a separate screw or two for holding the fairing so people can just mount the motors directly to the carbon fibre with the normal screws? It's not like crashability matters, given that all the 3D printed parts are just gonna explode on the first crash anyway... Or just... use double-sided tape like he did for the other side...
I'm using those T-Motor 2808 17XX kv as my mountain cruiser. They are incredible motors. I always knew they were capable of much more but 200? --- Maybe I have a winter project.
Generally? 100 mph limit, 400 ft altitude limit above whatever you're flying around, 55lb weight limit for recreational flight, under 250g it is legally a toy and not an aircraft. Technically you also need a spotter and a HAM license (hardware depending) but people seem to mostly ignore those.
Yeah - Chris Rosser did help them tune their first iteration of the drone and this is pretty much the base of this one - then they went even quicker with a bigger v2 version - 7inch props with 3115 motors I believe
Pin removal kit is great to have. They have tips to flip, pry, push all kinds of different pins. They work great and would be a great investment if you did this more than even a couple of times. Some of the kids out there are fairly cheap for what you get.
A tip if you are trying to squeeze something together like those motors and ferrings is to use a screw longer than you need to bite the threads in a couple of the holes, then start the correct sized screen in the remaining holes and then just remove the oversized screws and replace them with screws of the correct length. Like if 12mm is the right size buit isn't quite reaching because you need to push everything together, use like a 16 on two of the holes first.
For Us in the Hobby we have been building Toy 🚘 🚤 and ✈️ and been Racing an Flying them as far and Fast as possible for Years. and nobody is going to Tell us Now we can’t do this Anymore. because we need Special Permission from FAA, Government! 🧐
Get yourself a free version of Solid Edge 2024 CAD Makeredition (aka academic-license, its free) and reverse engineer the printed parts. Its not that difficult, but of course takes some time.

today I learned a 4-in-1 ESC is NOT necessarily using a 4IN1 radio protocol. the 4-in-1 ESC means there are 4 ESCs on the board, as opposed to separate ESCs. whereas the 4IN1 radio is not a ELRS radio, but instead talks on older protocols. So you can have a 4-in-1 ESC that talks to ELRS. Thanks @JoshuaBardwell I did learn something today.
Hate when stls are not available when buying a product so if i buy it ill just get my buddy to make stls of the prints for me 😜
Breaking: JB uses 3D printed frame
i would buy one strait away but for something im going to crash (as your pushing your limits and killing lipos) i need stl files and they are not for available for download or purchase.
@2:20 I know exactly where that is. A little village in central Mexico. Been there many times and know the place well.
Ahh yes the land of the free, south of the border.
20:53 I hope someone does this as a first build
Bending wires pre-tin seems like a pro move!
I NEVER sell STL's. It only takes one buyer putting the files on a sharing site and you never earn another dollar. You ALWAYS get screwed. I'm not aware of any case where a guy hasn't been screwed.
36:30 you can just plug all that stuff in hot? And you’re not worried about frying any of it because you plugged it in hot? I don’t know why, but I always thought that in order to, for example, plug in the VTX to the FC while the FC is powered, that you could easily fry the VTX because you have it a sudden jolt of power? 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Turn on that ESC telemetry and put the ESC temp on the OSD. it’s going to be super important to know what kinds of speed you can hit before the ESC starts overheating. I’ve had problems around 250F
the fc is hanging while you settup the rocket is freak me out.. i once short the fc because touching the bolt for mounting esc
it doesn't seem to me that the faring design is all that hard to replicate and customize to 3d print with a 3d scanner or just with dial calipers and cad software. But I haven't tried so maybe Im wrong.
if u make some photos of the 3d printed part, and add some basic messurements, you could duplicate the part. i could. or just 3d photgraph it. if you print this cone with nylon, it will be much stronger
Looks a lot like the one where someone made one as fast (maybe faster than) a formula 1 car.
16:43 correction you need 12 12mm screws
9:02 beeeeeeeeeeppppppp
I doubt reverse engineering that nose cone would be difficult.
I still wanna build your freakin drone😂....my new years resolutions is to have 2 JB quads built by yours truly and send them to JB to tell me how I did😊 well....that more of a wish😁✌🏼
no capacitor installed..?
I'm guessing you didn't watch the whole video.
Really bummed out you weren't able to get some of this action on video. Let's say you could get the cad files, or design them tyourself, these parts could be made from something like TPU, that would make it much more crash resistant, right? Why wouldn't that work?
The yellow GNB 1500mah 8S lihv should also fit at 83x52x38mm, there is also a new cool 2 bay toolkit 8s charger m8d with nice interface and touch screen and a less than 2xAir8 price. shocked about the prints! at at aos site there was a link which said download for the prints so i ordered without prints and when i went to d/l it was only purchase so i cancelled the order and ordered with, im really surprised its not made of TPU, or other very strong material..... really need the STLs.
17:20 So, if he spent so much time testing & designing this frame, why did he not add a separate screw or two for holding the fairing so people can just mount the motors directly to the carbon fibre with the normal screws?
It's not like crashability matters, given that all the 3D printed parts are just gonna explode on the first crash anyway...
Or just... use double-sided tape like he did for the other side...
can you help me set up my timer 79
I'm using those T-Motor 2808 17XX kv as my mountain cruiser. They are incredible motors. I always knew they were capable of much more but 200? --- Maybe I have a winter project.
This style quad was the reason I wanted to know how to flip my yaw and roll sticks via switch when going horizontal flight. Thank you!
Did you figure out how to?
What are the laws for FPV drones ?
Yes
Generally? 100 mph limit, 400 ft altitude limit above whatever you're flying around, 55lb weight limit for recreational flight, under 250g it is legally a toy and not an aircraft. Technically you also need a spotter and a HAM license (hardware depending) but people seem to mostly ignore those.
The basic design had taken inspiration from the Red Bull Quad that chased down Max's F1 race car at a Track in the UK.
Yeah - Chris Rosser did help them tune their first iteration of the drone and this is pretty much the base of this one - then they went even quicker with a bigger v2 version - 7inch props with 3115 motors I believe
Pin removal kit is great to have. They have tips to flip, pry, push all kinds of different pins. They work great and would be a great investment if you did this more than even a couple of times. Some of the kids out there are fairly cheap for what you get.
absolutely must have. under $10 improves your life substantially
i love doing repinning and i do it exactly the same as you teaching it.. this is gold for fpv beginners! love it..
If someone wanted to, they could make a 3d scan of that nose cone.
A tip if you are trying to squeeze something together like those motors and ferrings is to use a screw longer than you need to bite the threads in a couple of the holes, then start the correct sized screen in the remaining holes and then just remove the oversized screws and replace them with screws of the correct length. Like if 12mm is the right size buit isn't quite reaching because you need to push everything together, use like a 16 on two of the holes first.
For Us in the Hobby we have been building Toy 🚘 🚤 and ✈️ and been Racing an Flying them as far and Fast as possible for Years. and nobody is going to Tell us Now we can’t do this Anymore. because we need Special Permission from FAA, Government! 🧐
Men you just have to flip it 90 degree then solder it secondly the speed up is called field weakining
3:48 share some dimensions and I'll make them available =)
I already have made this drone long before... I've sheared the stl but my comment keeps being deleted 😂
Get yourself a free version of Solid Edge 2024 CAD Makeredition (aka academic-license, its free) and reverse engineer the printed parts. Its not that difficult, but of course takes some time.
I thought H S stood for what you say when it goes by at 200
24:27 Saw needle is the best for me for jst repinning
That just looks like a rocket haha
