"Oh, man, I love this feeling. I love feeling, like... _something,_ you know what I mean?" - Drew 2020, revealing his normal state is total emotionlessness
after a year of watching, only now that i flewn a few packs myself i can actually understand all the stuff they saying, as a non pilot drip always felt more like the medium level pilot. Only now i see how actually amazing his flying is.
UFO Pilot yes, exactly. Le Drib just makes it look effortless, but he’s frigging insane at freestyle. The video he made testing out the DJI setup in a bando is also mind blowing.
@NURK FPV I have to admit... I was nervous watching you let Bubby fly that! 4s to 12s, and 5" to 7", all for the first time... on camera in front of 3 of the best pilots! 🤣🤣🤣 Great episode! Glad you brought it last minute ❤
Just goes to show that he's got the chops to handle it! It's been great seeing him in so many RR videos. I'm glad y'all were able to film a lot of content with the crew while you were there.
You forget to add he is one of the best pilots maybe not as flashy as the others but he has incredible flow and flys super smooth and on top his powerloops and dives are on another level! the video where he dives through the hole in roof is still one of my favorite videos and as a young pilot myself he’s definitely a big inspiration ❤ but I definitely understand how you feel my mom is also always scared when I fly a quad for the first time
Fun to see some other pilots heaving this kwad around. When Nurk came out with his video I immediately wanted one. I'm wrapping up a 12s 10" now on a Hildagard 395 frame. Shout out to erodyo for the sick 3d prints to hold the APDs on it.
What KV motor are you going to try for going to 12s? 400kv range? APD goes the extra mile and lets you download the model of their ESC. Makes for mounting the ESCs a whole new kinda CAD modeling experience. I recently built a 10in on 3115 640kv that I really like flying on 6s. I tried it on 6s 2812 900kv and it was freakish and hard to tune. I am thinking about trying it on 8s with the bigger 640kv motors. Goal would be to be a pair of 4s2p 18650 packs in parallel for 8s2p LithiumIon.
@@dividingbyzerofpv6748 also trying to use 900kV, but an even larger stator (3114 motor) to dissipate heat from bigger prop. we shall see if i smoke the motors or not
@@geesekrew I tried 900kv 10in on 6s and was hitting 60+mph with like 50-60% throttle. Was off the ground with like 12-15% throttle and just twitchy as hell. I was unable to tune it to the point that I didnt have hot motors. When I swapped to 640kv 3115 Tornados my tune settled right in. I think with the bigger motors I have room to go up to 8s on 10inch but 12s may be too much without reducing prop size. I dont have a ton of experience tuning tho. May cut another 10in frame and take it to 8s, I have all the parts needed to make the jump. Not ready to hop into 12s ESCs yet. I do have a frame mocked up that would let me run 6s8p 18650 or 12s4p 18650 packs but that would be on 20-24in props on like 130-150kv motors.
@@geesekrew whatever the HQ 10in triblade is. The 3115 640kv seem to hover around 20-25% tops on 6s but my build is pretty light weight. I tried going with APC 10-12in props on another build but even with balancing I was vibrating like crazy so I only use the 10in HQ prop.
Everyone needs a Nurk... someone who can freely think in volts, amps, and can solder in the dark. Super cool rig...thanks for showing what's possible, and not just what's for sale.
look at you trying to be a smartass, speed is absolutely determijed by voltage and kv (if motor is big enough), that's a 7" prop spinning at over 50k rpm, at 6s voltage it wouldn't go above 150km/h
I'll never get sick of watching this fly but it definitely deserves to be in the wide open because of the speed. I love it and I would definitely have shaky legs flying it
I can 100000% confirm my man who builds for rotor riot is quite possibly the cleanest builder of all time. My first quad ever 5 years ago was from rotor riot. It still fly’s to this day😂😂.
I used to agree but I tightened mine back up, it makes it easier to do stuff like power loops, it's hard to keep it from wobbling without the tension if you're just looking at the sky with no visual reference
I wish we could have 30x30 mounting pattern 8s rated 4:1 escs. Maybe a little fatther than our normal stack ESCs(like fat 20x20 high amps only scaled up to 30x30). A nice 50-60amp rated 8s 4:1 to help with a tighter build. 12s is awesome but my upper limit for ESC pricing is around 40 dollars per ESC be it Iflight or APD. Soldering the Iflights is really tight on the signal pad close to ground pad. And APD is proprietary firmware. While the APD esc is really really smooth there is no Bidirectional BLheli 32 RPM filtering, probably not even needed honestly. Other nice thing about APD is you can download the ESC model so if you have Fusion 360 you can design and 3D print really nice ESC holders to house your expensive APD escs.
The craziest thing about this drone is that with the props its using, its likely underperforming; 50K max rpm would benefit from a much higher pitch of propeller, and yet it still CRUSHES in flight! Just what happens when you use mo powah baby
12:30 it's hard to put into words how the momentum feels because gravity accelerates all objects at the same rate- but that's in a vacuum. on the moon, a feather and a hammer dropped together hit the ground at the same time. when drag from the air is slowing you down, a heavier quad absolutely can be tossed higher and will 'flow' better because it has better penetration thru the fluid it's in. In terms of f=ma the drag force of the air on the quad is the same for any quad with the same dimensions, but the mass (m) is higher so the deceleration the air imparts on the quad (a) must necessarily be lower.
Agreed Too light. But it does have its uses for instance flying in a park that isn't completely empty. It doesn't create that much of a scene as a 5-in wood.
Thats two sick OLDSKOOL Style RoRi! So f@ckin' glad you're back one-point boys. This whole thing has us all a little confuzzled and it's so inspiring to see the feels back on HighPositiveVibe! R!CK ON! BOYS, R!CK ON
Sick quad! There is one issue with the KV though. If you work out the tip speed of the props at full throttle, it is well above the speed of sound. As far as I am aware, propellers encounter a lot of funny aero effects at speeds approaching the speed of sound (0.8 - 0.9 times the speed of sound).
that feeling was the same one i got when i built my first 6s quad. now im kinda like drew its like eh. guess its time to step it up a notch. 8s or 12s here i come... lol
@@foxrumor I mean... I'm really not sure that'd be an accurate concern. Maybe- but I don't quite know the flight times these class of drones get on average with the type of usage they get. So yeah, maybe. I wouldn't think so personally though. Tuned for just the tracks- I mean- it might be better for F1/Nascar chases or something. Otherwise keeping up is always a problem with that kind of speed, right?
thats awesome how erodyo just got on there and flew it like nothing. there's no way id be able to jump on someone elses rates with someone elses tx and fly even close to decent. i'd be like buddy complaining about the tight gimbals, i have to fly with loose gimbals
Yesterday i broke my first legit martian frame, after battery unplugged at like 300m up What made me sad is the battery in the drone had only 5 or 6 flights on it and it was first one i blew up on the hit too Time to fly main drone again!

Today I landed and the fucker didn't disarm, almost got me, but got stuck in my skateboard. broken radio switch , lucky it was only 5 inch:D Amazing video still want to fly that thing!
Glad you guys got to try this insane drone. Definitely isn't the FASTEST one in the world, but it's gotta be the funnest sound ever. :-)
Nurk FPV Please upload the FPV build of the one that had the black magic pocket on it. It looked awesome.

Yeah a 7" build can be scary. Imagine hovering at 5-10% throttle. I definitely didn't build one that does 115 mph on 6S, though.

"50V of power" is like saying "20 gallons of speed".
Ya, but the voltage does coordinate to how much "power" their getting out of the drone so it just feels right lol
Yes and no. Saying “50v of power” is somewhat like saying “monster power!!!” But if you take it literally then you’re right.
Not really. If they said 10k mAh of power, that would be equivalent to 20 gallons of speed :)
Its more like how much fule it can consume per x time. That stat is used on some drag cars.
look at you trying to be a smartass, speed is absolutely determijed by voltage and kv (if motor is big enough), that's a 7" prop spinning at over 50k rpm, at 6s voltage it wouldn't go above 150km/h

Nice donut media reference babeh
I'd love to know what the amp draw is on a full throttle punch out.
I was thinking the same!
Yeah... me too... like the most I guess...
I rather would not...
probably not even that special due to the high voltage.
not that much since on DC voltage power P = U*I ... since U (voltage) is very high I (amperage) is going to be quite low.
Amazing job Nurk! can't wait to see your next experiment!
Go NURK I saw the build test flight vid good to see it being properly ripped. Had to use headphones to get the full sound😈. Beast
Drew is such a beast no practice just goes for the gap with barely any video and lands it.
Always upvote a Nurk Video :D. haha "battery is prolly pretty low.."

Fantastic flying, guys!!!

HOOOLY Shiat. I already shit myself watching that at home o.o I think a good 4S build is already very scary. But this thing is a beast!
I did the math and at max throttle the end of the prop is traveling ~0.6 miles per second!
