Omg I luv when u say u keep shit in shop. But taking off look pretty smooth and nice and looks like a great success I have to get me one for small package great job keep up the good work
Tommy those noise peaks are wide and look like they have a few smaller peaks inside of them. To me that indicates a lot of compound modes (modes that affect pitch and yaw or 2 axis simultaneously) or several different resonate modes within a small frequency range. If you have FEA software on a shop PC I’d take a look at that, or maybe reach out to Chris Rosser and see if he can do a quick analysis to get a better idea of what’s going on.
It's perhaps wider than some but it looks well defined. The single dynamic notch will work fine but might benefit from reducing from the default q (which is really narrow at 500 now) once you go shutting off or lifting gyro lowpass.
Very cool to see this once concept now quickly becoming a reality and all the feedback from the community is going to continue to make this frame better and better awesome job guys!
Congratulations guys! Amazing how you got to this stage so quickly and with no real issues with vibes, a powerful team indeed 🤩🙌🏆 looks absolutely superb in the flesh and in the air, very very cool! 😍🥳🥳🥳🥳
For the battery strap, I much more prefer the slots in the top plate allowing a more weaved into the top plate strap giving just a tad more clearance from the FC
With regards to testing folding props - I found that the Gemfan's seem to fly better & have a better blade profile than the DAL's but the Gemfans rely on a plasic m3 pin to attach the blade, which definitely isn't strong enough (as I found out the hard way)!
Looking good. It’s all about the little stuff now and doesn’t seem like it’ll be too much longer before it’s done. I think everyone’s wondering next is price.
Awesome I love it! But if that was running BetaFlight 4.3 then you should have used BlackBox Explorer 3.6. I think I saw that you used 3.5. Not the end of the world but cheers buddies!
Yo this is coming along nicely! I think you should look into flipping the design, hanging the electronics off the center plate and doing sideplates like the five33 Footy. Might even allow for different flight configs! I think that's probably the best way too maximize space for mounting. Big MoonGoat and 2fiddy fan, you build good shit :P
I know it's a big fuck around but maybe have the arm stems swing the other way to fit the vista etc central with the flight controller sat on top of it??? this might allow for weard vtx sizes
Can you say over engineered? plague of design engineers straight out of school. with that being said I am looking forward to seeing how it turns out. with Tommy overseeing it it should be awesome.
Hey Tommy, is there any chance you might do a 2fiddy preset for Betaflight 4.3? Or share a 4.3 tune for the 2fiddy? I thought moving everything to 4.3 would be great! Until I got to my 3 2fiddy’s. They flew absolutely amazing on 4.2.x with the tune you made in a video following the release of the 2fiddy. But stock Betaflight is shaky. Still learning how to tune properly.. no worries if you’re too busy! Anything is appreciated!😎
I have another idea, wouldn't it be cool that if x amount of force is applied on the arms, they would automatically give way and fold in? just like for example the folding mechanism on DJI's folding drones, where they just kind of klick in place or hold in place, it takes a bit force to get them to fold out, then they kind of lock loosely into place for flight. which works for the DJI drones. on a freestyle quad, this would need to be much stronger. maybe just some kind of metal spring mechanism, in the screw-tight mechanism on the bottom plate, that holds the arms into place once un-folded. that metal-plate spring thing would also create some tension so it would prevent the arms getting lose from mechanical stress from abrasion, (by pushing the arm to a locking point on the frame) . I think the arms getting lose would otherwise just be a matter of time... a spring would push them into place constantly, plus like making the arms able to get pushed out of place in hard crashes. actually when I think about it, this should be fairly easy to make. some kind of metal-spring-strip in the center locking mechanism that just gives way at x amount of force.. it should only re-fold (lol) when the arm would otherwise break of course, otherwise this would be a pain in the ass on lighter crashes, but when crashing hard this could potentially not only save arms, but also motors from breaking. like a spring that saves your drone from braking, I think if this is made right, this drone could be potentially the most durable freestyle drone that exists. using the arms like a buffer - spring type of thing.
Omg I luv when u say u keep shit in shop. But taking off look pretty smooth and nice and looks like a great success I have to get me one for small package great job keep up the good work
Looking good on noise. Good job!
I have been looking forward to this one!! Let'szz goo!!
That is shockingly quiet. Well done Tommy! Still loving my 2Fiddy!
Also those motors are gorgeous!

Sick frame/motors can't wait to see the finished product
havent seem a drone fly this smooth in a while, also very quiet.
We saw thank you as I am watching this at the fire station.
So excited to see this coming into reality👊👊😎💪💪💪can't wait🙌🎊🎉🎊🎉
nice!! perfect timing, my goat needs some new motors and I'll lean forward and say two foldable frames on the side!!
Thumbs up for old sheet. I just got back into fpv and using old used motors also.
How nice very good job!

actually looks pretty smooth
Best frame designers out there. Keep up the good work!
Wicked cool Tommy!! Thank you guys!
I really like the diagonal mount of the caddx. Looks slick and different.
So awesome I can't wait to see the final product this is exactly what I've been wanting
Good job! Fun to follow. :)
Great work!

Always a treat when I see that you've posted a video!!!!
The build looks to be coming along really well - super excited to see the next step!
2306.. wow de color, so nice!

looking forward to see prototype 2 and how you guys solve these issues
This is coming along great.!!! Awesome work !!!
congrats on getting to this stage! Looking forward to being able to build one :)
also: them motors look SICK! :D
Now all you need are some custom folding props to finish it off...TPU? :D
Excited!! Big fan. I'm flying the moongoat and 2fiddy as well. I know you guys will figure it out!!
that is one quiet drone
.
Dude, how did I miss these!!!
Looking good. It’s all about the little stuff now and doesn’t seem like it’ll be too much longer before it’s done.
I think everyone’s wondering next is price.
Amazing to see the progress on this! Did it just sound so quiet in the video or is the quad actually that quiet?
I thought the same! I reckon it has to be that he's using a clip on mic
Cool🤙🏻
I’m really fond of frame mounted xt60 connectors. I know this is a year old but just tossing it out there.
awesome so far
nice! almost there!
Interested to see the final product. If one comes out that is light weight for bruising I wont hesitate.
Awesome I love it! But if that was running BetaFlight 4.3 then you should have used BlackBox Explorer 3.6. I think I saw that you used 3.5. Not the end of the world but cheers buddies!

👍🏻👍🏻
How good does it fold with props on?
So far ahead of Nikola and Theranos in their production promise.
That is so amazing, finally a nice foldable 5inch frame without a bunch of compromises🥳👍 Please go on, is there anything i could preorder today?
Not yet, just doing some final revisions to make it pretty and manufacturable. But soon!
@@ummagawdFPV just to be sure, have I really won something? Or is that "whatsapp me" scam?
Nice! Looks like its flying well..... Who's Delica is parked in the street at 1:59?
Looking Great Tommy 😎 What Wireless Mic you guys using here? The clip on one.
If I'm not mistaken, Betaflight only supports 90 degree offsets and not arbitrary offsets?

Is this project going to get squashed with the remote ID deadline coming in Sept?
What is the current status on the folding drone? Can it be purchased anywhere?
No one is making any new flight controller with the MPU 6000, any that are still in stock will likely be sold and replaced with BMI versions
Mr. Tommy, sir.
Is there a release of your leaked ummgawd neck-strap planned?
I want to buy this frame!
Is this the communal sponge?
Use bluejay it's much better than bl-m, and the icm42688p is better than mpu6000
But there is frame noise at about 30-50hz on roll 🏌🏻
Ideal spot for first testing flight.....
Prop wash....someone explain it to me

Hi! Great video! Do you plan to test it with KISS firmware ?
1nd
Makes a folding done, doesn't show it fold.
Shown in a previous video
Omg I luv when u say u keep shit in shop. But taking off look pretty smooth and nice and looks like a great success I have to get me one for small package great job keep up the good work
