      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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @untraceableghost637
    @untraceableghost637 29 дней назад

    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).

    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.

    @QuadMcFlyFlies 29 дней назад

    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.

    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.
