I'm not saying i'm a drone expert but i have built a couple. The first noticeable problem is how your motors are situated, the rectangular setup is a horrible idea (especially if you plan on adding more motors. You should be aiming for a more square/hexagonal/octagonal shape) that is my prediction for why it seems to be constantly tipping back and forth. From a software point of view it comes down to the flight controller and software which i don't know what exactly you are using. But my prediction is if you are using beta flight the drone configuration that is the default is the square/rhombus like setup. As I said i'm no expert and take my word for what it is but you should of definitely thought out the motor positioning more. I love your content and cant wait for the next video. P.S. please like the comment to JLaser can see it. Thx Edit: if you aren't using a flight controller use one, and if it doesn't have a gyroscope thats another reason its not stabilizing
He is using a DJI Naza M V2 (Atleast i think). Its an old FC from like 2011 that has GPS and altitude hold and RTH and support to up to 8 motors. I have worked with it before and can say its not very suitable for a large drone like that one.
Brilliant ♥️ it!! I will be constructing my (Dr) own 🔜. Waiting for 80V ⚡ chainsaw motors ATM. 26"x5.5" carbon fiber Propellers are in. Building the drone frame out of used aluminum🚲 s. Cf bikes would be nicer but probably way too expensive.
Software related... Probably the PID tuning, Joshua bardwell king of PID tuning. That thing is pretty much like an oversized x classed drone, Lol as if x class wasn't big enough. that "prop guard" isn't going to protect the props, if it actually makes contact it's just gonna get torn to shreds
You need to change your PID's on beta flight. Try P 65 I 65 D 55 then make quick flights to see how the drone reacts and change te PID's until it doesn't overcompensate anymore but be careful to not make it undercompensate too because if so it can bdjsnwbsjds and BOOM too. I can't really explain how the PID system works i just understand it so move the PID's try different things and see how it goes. Also watch tutos on youtube it helps a lot. So good luck ! Peace and sushi
Apex science I make some projects of my own on my RUclips channel like: taser nerf gun, spear thrower, blow dart gun, arc reactor, electric skateboard, and more!!! It would be great if u checked it out and maybe subscribed😏😎
IT FINALLY WORKED! Good job and I’m exited to see your upcoming projects with the new equipment. Sad to see your channel isn’t growing too fast so I will try to spread the word of you
Guys please I need help. Bro you're my biggest role model. I will like to ask if u learnt all that in an engineering school or you made everything up yourself
My only suggestion is to tig the aluminum instead of bolting up. If you REALLY want to decrease the weight, you can't go wrong with carbon sheets. Buy them in bulk and form a frame from scratch.
i've had a similar problem some time ago, on my case the drone was to light for the propellers so every tiny movement had to much impact on the flight stability, try putting some more weigth on it and see how does it behave
yes! a great grama rejoicing for you too!!! without any money i wanted to invent one that drives on the road and travels on water too with a blow up tent!!! hahahaha more power to you!!
you gennerally have to use some vibration damppeners beacause of sheer amount of the vibrations from the motors spinning and that aluminium frame just shares its vibrations to the flight controller , also maybe keep those flight controller in a box with some vibration damppeners and nuts to protect it and fix it in place ,, or else your pids will go nuts ,, also even the slightest of vibrations effect the gyro ,, also if u keep the elctronics near fc the magnetic fluctuation may effect the pids ,, gennerally the pids over react when they are not in the air so it can be an issue sometimes
I am very happy in the next video where you discuss how to assemble this giant drone component cable, and where to buy the complete tools in the comments column
It looks like one of the things that hold the drone propellers is a little bit bent and that’s probably one of the reasons why it’s flipping over so easily oh and maybe the rest of them are as well so check the whole thing with a spirit leveler.
I have been thinking over making a man flying drone but didn't have enough ideas and resources but your video is definitely going to help. Thanks friend for the same..
Now just strap a homemade gyroscope Stabilization device on that sucker and you're ready to fly that thing. Before anything else, You need to cage Around those propellers!
add expo to the rates.. also it would help to add a stability mode using an accelerometer. then youre not doing all the micro corrections yourself... any questions let me know... i build these things for fun
I love it how you grown up you are fantastic❤️ I watched mostly of your tech videos and like them and the tutorials are the best make more hacking videos like the wii ds and everything Still love this you look so good and professional it's word to sub😊👌
a problem could be down to centre of gravity... if the weight of the electrical components are heavier on one side then it will be harder for the electronics to stable the drone. therefore making it over correct itself. i think its just guess and check here but that could be a contributing factor on why its unstable. good to see you back man, love the vids :)
Seems like you'll need to properly tune PID values. In GENERAL, PID values refer to how motors behave, how do they accelerate and decelerate. But it's more complicated than that. Google or ask friends who are into drone racing to help you out with that. Also you can tune ESCs to reach better stability.
Re balance the weight, reduce the frame to is minimum by curving or made a triangular angle for it in a boat shape* so all the weight is put in one central area and watch if you can give a angle downward in the frame so wen you "brake"your drone don't flip back or try to spin. (Think of a large kayak not covered but with a large V shape base... Or flip the helmet of pyramid head from silent hill...)
I know why it doesn't fly properly. This is because you had give lot much space between wings so give less space between them and lets try. Also you need to set good gyro also to stable this gaint drone so try this one more time
I like doing stuff like this, fun. Your still in ground effect when your out of it you might have to put bigger blades on. Might try putting only one staberlizer hung from cords on each corner to the the center of frame,( center of gravity}.
Use a different flight controller like the apm 2.8 so u can add how and telemetry capabilities to the drone and I highly suggest u to go for a hexagonal setup instead of this which in my opinion is not at all efficient.
Add weight into the body of the drone maybe. It could be that the drone has so much power for it weight that the flight control meant to handle little complact drones does not know how to handle that. From there PID tuning is your best bet.
You need to get someone who knows what they are doing to physically help you tune the dji flight controller. Also the frame is twisted. Also please actually tether that thing to the ground before someone gets hurt.
I don't know if you go back and re-watch your videos after you do your production and stuff and it takes a while to frame seems to be been in some of your footage I don't know if it's the camera angle but it looks like your frame is bent I'm thinking if you use different material maybe even go as far as to carbon fiber wrapping the joints or doing a fiberglass joint wrap and use lighter materials like PVC
Dude your drone propellers are offset you need to arrange them in a square frame there is no air to pull from due to that arrangement the propllers need to be closer for better drag
A camera on the bottom for ground tracking and GPS would be a good move. It would keep it wayyy more stable. Would probably need a fancier flight controller though. :/
Welcome back! And congrats on getting the drone to fly! Like you said in the video, you're going to need to add more to the drone to give it the ability to carry a human. I do have a concern for a small portion of the framework; 3:17, the far left arm seems to be slightly warped. Obviously it didn't noticeably impede the drone's performance, but adding more weight to it... who knows what'll happen. Like Peter Scripol said, these things are powered lift vehicles. Something happens, you're going down. Keep up the work, I doubt you're going to fail at all.
I noticed there was still flex in the frame in this footage. Any flex in the frame will put the props out of alignment which will have the drone going all over the place... The frame has to to be proper stiff to start with. The rest was a tune required on your PID's you could see resonance in this footage.. Does the flight controller have selectable flight modes? were you in stabilize mode or a sport mode? You can set the modes up and tune this out to make it fly well, there's heaps of stuff on utube about tuning the PID's for any controller... just hook the controller up to a computer or tablet with the maker's software and follow tuning instructions on utube.
I'm not saying i'm a drone expert but i have built a couple. The first noticeable problem is how your motors are situated, the rectangular setup is a horrible idea (especially if you plan on adding more motors.

He is using a DJI Naza M V2 (Atleast i think). Its an old FC from like 2011 that has GPS and altitude hold and RTH and support to up to 8 motors. I have worked with it before and can say its not very suitable for a large drone like that one.
Bro u also should do this kind of stuff
@@partial_ what type of controller do you think would work for this scale?
You should connect your drone to betaflight and blheli and tune the drone. It will help stabilize the drone.
Not sure dji fc uses betaflight
@@rorymatheson8583 nooooo no dji drones!!! The are bad!
@@Jolan9340 you could say that, but you could also say the opposite
@@rorymatheson8583 true but I have a really bad experience with dji
@@Jolan9340 have you?! What was it?
If you could fly on it. It would make a good base for a green goblin glider.
I was thinking, with some extra attachments, some Vulture wings
I remember jlaser was doing somerhing like that until he injured himself.
To be honest tho, there’s a lot you could do with this drone. Even making a house in the sky or a flying car!!
Close. We were thinking Adrian's wings
u got it bruh
Try and add a gyro stabiliser to the main flight controller to keep the drone balanced
My god the only comment that makes sense
Brilliant ♥️ it!! I will be constructing my (Dr) own 🔜.

Kinda looks like your propellers are leaning slightly different directions. Great video though!
Probably to stabilize it
you have to check the Software on the escs and I realy would recoment to ask a yter who already made a human Drohne like
Peter spirol

Peace and sushi
its a NAZA FC probably using NAZA assistant , but recalibrating the FC is needed both basic and advanced even if it doesn't call for it
You could use small jet engines as a sort of steering mechanism, steering with small bursts to turn and directionality the drone.
then why not go ahead and build a scaled down V-22, lol
Perhaps some cages around the propellers radius will safe you from hardware damage if it crashes?
Hey, He's back in the states with a mini baby beard :D
I'm sami from bangladash I'm your bigesr fan!!!!!!!!!!
Do you think that me idea is good
Finally the Content is back that I Subscribed For!
I really like your channel I have been watching for years also you should make the boring flamethrower 😂

You should do a weight distrobution test because it looks like one side is lefting before the other
That's center of gravity yes also center ground tether my drone ummm flew away ..epic....... there's only one j blazer .........
Have you added a gyroscopic stabilizer yet? It's key for newer drone flyers and can help with balance.
Use a accelerometer and a gyro for ultimate stability. U will have to learn to code on java
I love you 3000 jlaservideo ❤🥰
Have you tuned the PID settings? This can cause exactly what you are describing. Source: myself, pilot with a minor in unmanned aerial systems.
Can you do a Spider-Man far from home build. That would be sick!
That’d be great
Guys please I need help.

I think you should reinforce the propeller arms just to make sure that it doesn't end up breaking in the process.

Put one motor one the front and one on the back and use a long chain and sprocket to time the blades
I am making a drone like his can you tell me how you would do that?
You can make a book speaker!
It will so cool
I live in Australia. Hope you had fun!!!
I have been thinking over making a man flying drone but didn't have enough ideas and resources but your video is definitely going to help. Thanks friend for the same..

Well done man
give it wheels ya never know it could one day go from drone to driving vechlie and that would be awsome
PiD must tune pid values to deal with an oversized frame
You need to tune the PID values for over compensation
I love it how you grown up you are fantastic❤️ I watched mostly of your tech videos and like them and the tutorials are the best make more hacking videos like the wii ds and everything Still love this you look so good and professional it's word to sub😊👌
Thanks mate, the fact that you dare to do this stuff makes us prevent same mistakes! inspiring!
Ey yo man u should trim ur motors so that it could go straight up or counter balance the movent by moving the left stick aswell
Keep spirit bro. Love from Indonesia ✊
a problem could be down to centre of gravity... if the weight of the electrical components are heavier on one side then it will be harder for the electronics to stable the drone. therefore making it over correct itself. i think its just guess and check here but that could be a contributing factor on why its unstable. good to see you back man, love the vids :)

he's using a NAZA FC although he can adjust his gains in NAZA assistang

If you want an advice go watch infinity war and look at iron man's flight stabilizer and do the same to the human flying drone
I know why it doesn't fly properly. This is because you had give lot much space between wings so give less space between them and lets try. Also you need to set good gyro also to stable this gaint drone so try this one more time
You should use silly string for web fluids
You're hilarious. Nice work on this - can't wait to see what you do next!
"look honey, our neighbor is making ufos again!"
Let's keep it with only likes no dislikes
Motors are out of since with each other and are putting different amount of power to each prop that is reason for so much wobble
It’s been SO LONG WE MISS YOU BRO!!
I like doing stuff like this, fun. Your still in ground effect when your out of it you might have to put bigger blades on. Might try putting only one staberlizer hung from cords on each corner to the the center of frame,( center of gravity}.
Use a different flight controller like the apm 2.8 so u can add how and telemetry capabilities to the drone and I highly suggest u to go for a hexagonal setup instead of this which in my opinion is not at all efficient.
this would be interesting for sure although DJI has a datalink
Awesome video im glad your back!
Maybe you should extend the the propeller wings’ holder out so you could fit on it (MAYBE)
The metal under the pole is messing with the propellers
I love this channel. Can you build a bionic arms to help you pick really heavy things up
Dude you are a genius and I love all your projects!
Me two
Yo, like the new intro
Make a captain America shield
I believe that the propellers are too small, compared to the size of the frame.
How are there already 4 dislikes. Your video is awsome. Keep up this good stuff
That is crazy, can't wait to see what v3 is like
So close to 1M
Add weight into the body of the drone maybe. It could be that the drone has so much power for it weight that the flight control meant to handle little complact drones does not know how to handle that. From there PID tuning is your best bet.
You could make it a hexacopter for more power and beta flight will support that
You need to get someone who knows what they are doing to physically help you tune the dji flight controller. Also the frame is twisted. Also please actually tether that thing to the ground before someone gets hurt.
Tune this bad boy up and lets see another go at it...
I don't know if you go back and re-watch your videos after you do your production and stuff and it takes a while to frame seems to be been in some of your footage I don't know if it's the camera angle but it looks like your frame is bent I'm thinking if you use different material maybe even go as far as to carbon fiber wrapping the joints or doing a fiberglass joint wrap and use lighter materials like PVC
thumbs up from drone lover... i try my best for my cinematic drone video..
Amazing as always cool logo i got
Inspired so l made my own RUclips channel
The channel is so similar 😂
Hey so I need a lot of help to build one for a school team project, but I need help finding the motors and propellers, cables and the controller items
Hi from Australia!

A camera on the bottom for ground tracking and GPS would be a good move. It would keep it wayyy more stable. Would probably need a fancier flight controller though. :/
You need a self-stabilizing circuit
you should do a collab with Michael Reeves
Chop he only collabs with Keanu.

You need to find the center gravity of the drone
This guy is half Rick and half Morty!
Can you make a vid on how you made the normal sized drone
Great job!
Welcome back!
Use dji a3 or dji wookong m
Flight controlers ...
Thnk me later.....!❤️❤️
This should be on trending!
If you look at it from an angle it looks to be not flat and I’m pretty sure it needs to be, not 100% sure though
The propellers are grinding to much you need to find something softer for them to be on and make the blades themselves stronger
Care to share where you bought you electronics from and what’s need it to accomplish your project ?
I noticed there was still flex in the frame in this footage. Any flex in the frame will put the props out of alignment which will have the drone going all over the place... The frame has to to be proper stiff to start with. The rest was a tune required on your PID's you could see resonance in this footage..

You need to get weight distribution right balancing it better
You should add a dead weight to it that simulates your weight being in it.
You should make superman's heat vision
Mysterio related builds? Preferably not the projectors because you’ve done a lot of that already.
Cool new intro 😄
