2016 I got to join the Rotor Riot on a trip to Ukraine. The trip was truly amazing. The guys from UADR (Team Ukraine) were the best hosts you could wish for.
We got to go in to the exclusion zone in Chernobyl and visit the ghost town Pripyat that was evacuated during the nuclear melt down.
We had permission to fly wherever we wanted within the town and we all got great footage. It was amazing to explore this place and drink in the history and scale of this disaster.
The UADR also hooked us up with a once in a life time opportunity. To fly around the Antonov 225 and AN 22! The worlds largest jet airplane and the largest propeller aircraft in the world!
Being an airplane nerd this really was crazy. Why the heck would they allow us to fly around this uniq aircrafts? There is literally only 1 in existence! Well it's built like a tank for sure. They even allowed us to climb on top of of both the 225 and AN 22! And I don't mean like be careful only step here one at a time thing. Noooo they let everyone that felt like being up there be there at the same time! Probably had 30 people walking around on the top of that plane at one time. Mind blowing.
Easily the best trip I've ever been on!
When I got back home it turns out that I lost all footage from inside Pripyat :(. Took me quite a while to get over this (hence why I'm posting now)
Huge thank you to Chad Nowak (FinalGlideAUS) for allowing me to use your follow footage. You should definitely check out his channel:

So much has changed in 4 years!! The tricopters/quadcopters, to Ukraine to missing Dave?? Your spaceflight video really inspired me back in the day!!
I have been waiting 2 years for this video. Time to fix my tricopter
you and me both :D
Same :)
I have a Version like 3.4.1 TriCopter. I need to put it back together. Glad to see the Ukraine trip make it to your channel David!
Please come back to tricopters david i would love to see and updated set-up video of your mini tri from build to how to tune it, love your contribution to the community. Keep it up.
yes more tricopters please :)
+1
50000 people used to live here, now it's a ghost town.
R.I.P. (February 24, 2022) glad you guys got this footy ❤️
FPV cruising is the real essence of FPV
David, thanks for all the inspiration over the years. I still have a few wood tri copters with KK2 boards hanging on the wall! Pioneer of RC flight you are!
Nice hearing from you again, David. And thanks for the awesome footage!
Great to see you still enjoying the tri-copter, thanks for sharing this footage from your archive too :)
Sorry to hear you lost your footage from Pripyat. This reel is fantastic though. :) Guess you'll just have to go on another awesome trip sometime!
Hard to come back and watch this video today... Prayers for our friends in the Ukraine.
David, another great video. Your video at Niagara Falls and the FPV to space video are some of the best on youtube.
Epic💪🏻🤛 really pleased to see you back flying drones David . Been missing these videos. Greetings from 🏴.
Amazing footage and great flying as always, hope to see more videos from the trip
Awesome video, David!
Chad kapper as in the chad that founded flight test all those years ago??
Yeah
Chad Nowak is mentioned in the description though. (?)
There are two Chads, they were both there
That handshake at the end was awesome lol. You guys make a great team!
There is just something wonderful about the footage off your tricopter
Great video David!
Great to see you flying again. I love your tri copters.
Awesome, now your tricopter is radioactive!
it's been so long! need more of these videos! makes me want to get a tricopter
it is nice to see such updates and hope you can surprise us soon again with greater products!
Damn that was a long time ago ive seen the Rotor Riot Episodes! Awesome man!
So awesome to revisit these spots. Still slightly jealous I missed out on this one. Thanks for sharing David!
Now I'm jealous, after what's just happened 😔
FIIIIINALLY!
Awesome to finally see this footage!
Awesome video! Thank You!
Nice vid mate
A good 2 years since that trip, one of my favorite episodes on Rotor Riot. Might go back and rewatch it again...
Still love using my mini-tricopter. Thanks mate and keep up the amazing work. Cheers mate
Good to see you bsck.. nice video of the 2 planes...
Great to see tricopters back in action!
Always so good!
Wow, excellent video production...
That AN22 landed in Örebro where i live. It was so cool
i remember this from rotor riot years ago!! i officially need to build a tricopter right now.
I love my Tricopter. Bought a carbon fibre frame from you years upon years ago and it's still going strong. Would like to upgrade the old girl though, a mobius hook'n'looped to a polystyrene canopy ontop of a KK2.0 board is great for starting out, but it's a bit sluggish and the latency, is oh so bad.
Keep up the fantastic work, Dave!
Hi David, I love your channel. Are you ever going to go back to flite test, I really hope you do the video you had with them were awesome. It breaks my heart that you are not there anymore.
Looks amazing
Nice video David..I like your videos tricopter flight..not just a fpv flight..but its more art flying ..nice
oh heaal yes. love seeing the tri in action.
Amazing!
That was cool!
I love my first flite test Tri copter still flies today wonderful, with the electro Hub and a KK2.1.5 Flight controller using the DW PIDs. Thanks for helping me start my obsession!
YES, You finally did it!
hey david, i know you from flight test i found your channel. i'm trying to get into the hobby and i just want to say your v4 is now my dream platform i love the fuild movement it gives and that fast yaw is nice! what kind of range and fly times do you get?? and can you build your v4 for long range flying???
crazy to fly around the big bird like that! too bad for the loss, but there will be another day!
Awesome.
Awesome video! Stratolaunch is soon to be the world's largest plane once it's completed. I think they're planning the first test flight to be some time this summer.
Hey David - good to see you back "on (& in) the air", so to speak. Getting cabin fever after the long Swedish winter? More Rocket knife videos soon, I hope?
the V4 looks awesome :)
How did you get the opportunity to film in these places? Its amazing, Nice job David
That
Was
Cray Cray David! :)
Ahhh hahaha!
Go big or go home.
That place is amazing.
Landing is cool places ✈️
How did you lose the footage from Pripyat? That's a huge bummer, great video though!
Nice dood!
What multirotor was this filmed using? ;)
please do more rc tank battle part 3
I bought a kit a long time ago (2016) but soldered the board upside down and ripped the pads trying to desolder it. Never had time to buy another rip
First! Love your vids!
RIP Antonov 225 😔
Where I live here in Canada the fine for flying remotely piloted aircraft within 9 km of an airport is over $2000. I can't help but be slightly envious of the rest of the world.
I never gave the tri copter a thought till now.
Next video: Fly a tricopter *INSIDE* the AN-225!
That could be difficult due to signal shielding by a huge tin can that an airplane is.
I did fly inside of the AN 22 and it worked ok. Then Tommy decided to ram me while I was flying out 😆
Where you inside also? I mean, was there a line of sight, or it was enough signal on reflections?
Anyway, the video is cool. Pity the "green glowing" zone footage is not here.
Hey David I wanna know if you are gonna make another tank video with green the tank?
Awsome
HOLY FK!
I've seen the AN225 land here in the UK and it's massive! and there is only one! although they did start building another but never got it finished (so I've been told)
How on earth you got permission to fly around it is amazing! the RAF would never let you.
amazing footage
what about the spruce goose that things pretty big, do you mean biggest production???
And... Gonna buy one. Soon.
Wait isn't the ferris wheel at 1:29 the place where the rotor riot guys crashed a quad?
When is the 3rd rc tank battle!? Its been over a year and we want to know what happens next!
i'd be scared to get any radioactive particles on my copter as you would have to throw it away
When are you making another rc tank video :(
make a try racer that kicks quads ass if any one can you can do it
Does the only An-225 just sit there when unused?
Welcome to Ukraine, David!
Hi David, which camera did you use on the Tri?
It looks like he was flying through a GoPro, as usual ;)
Epic, shit is amazing, how the hell he get permission to do that? Cheers David another outrageous act of Science!
What happened to rocket knife?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Hi David! Thanks to your video this beautiful aircraft will live forever. It's a pity what the Russians did to this artwork.
Regards
... guess you just invented tricoper teabagging ...
You have earned a reply
Yeeesss👍👍👍
Chernobyl was the most unreal place ive ever been, wish i brought my tri, still got my signed one boxed 😂
Before the war.
10 THUMBS UP
KEITH KUHN
Landing on a metal object..wtf.
Imagine what would have happened if the magnetometer failed 😂
Wot no rockets !
David is still flying the tricopter......
More rocket knife!!!!
Hey Chad K., you should dump the clowns on Rotorriot and try to get Chad N. and David W. Back on the team. I’ve told you many times that the greatest mistakes you ever made (among the many, many right ones) was selling FliteTest and letting David get away. I know you know all that stuff, but David has always been the missing link to what made FT so fantastic in the early years. Getting him back to FT or RR at any cost, and maybe even CN to boot would bring several more years of super success. FT has degenerated to team giggling and poor content and RR is pretty much a lost cause. I hope and pray for you guys all the time, and I wish luck to both teams.
The first thing you should do is to ask David if he wanted to go back and work for FT or RR in the first place.
It's true that flight test sucks anymore, but David HAD to go back home. Peter was at least a worthy successor in that regard. Flitetest's mistake was not finding anyone to take up the torch after Peter moved back to help his parents
goodbye to the great plane
Amen tjena
They LET you fly that close to the worlds largest cargo plane, or did they know?
Having a tourist land his drone on top of a multimillion dollar aircraft? Or one of their beloved statues? If they knew Dave would still be there. I enjoy your videos but that was probably was not the smartest thing to do.
Please change your intro beacuse you are pretty smart and cool
Wow a tricopter video after 2 years of nonsense videos. Hope to come more rc videos.
therealfox he's been making rc videos for the past year.. clearly you haven't been paying attention. he did quite a few rocket car videos, the car was radio controlled. all of his rocket videos are done with a radio control actually.
Wheels Lifts only tricopter stuff is interesting here sorry rocket shit
Wheels Lifts
Ah.... the rocket knife! Good times!
Having more than one hobby is important though
The Antonov 225 is no longer the world largest plane. sry its the stratolaunch
