It's heartbreaking to lose a favorite plane, but I'm thoroughly impressed with the salvage used to make something new. I would have never thought of using a pool noodle like that. I'm also impressed you managed to mimic the 1,700lb explosive in the nose from the original with an almost as explosive, massive 4S LiPo. 🤣This terror weapon has been repurposed to strike terror in farm pests instead of humans. Imagine the confusion of pesky birds getting chased down by something that is painted like a flying corn cob while they are trying to steal some corn?🤣
Well, now that you came up with the idea, something tells me we’re going to be seeing this produced by somebody- great idea and great job!!! Now all you need is a scale London in the cornfield….
Been enjoying your videos for quite a while, glad to see you here. The pool noodle fuse is reinforced with a single carbon arrow shaft, should endure repeated high speed curb contact.
@@danielwoehr2733 first, thanks! And second- I think your idea, design and execution are all brilliant- it immediately made me think "This is the first foamie V1 I've ever seen!" Very cool (as long as you were never under a real one!) yeah, carbon fiber arrows rock- already designed to handle going from 120mph to zero on one inch- and the pool noodles are indestructible! I just bought 3 of them (different colors) to fool around with a week ago, and seeing this made me want to go down stairs and get started!
It's all about fun with buddies. I'm the mechanical engineer (and son of a career GE jet engine design engineer) in my group of mischievous incorrigibles but we also have a robotics/mechatronics guy and a software guy so we feed off each other. I've been doing product design for over 30 years in various industries. I clapped wings on my Falcon 56 back in 82 or so and gave up on flying until about 2 years ago. Now I'm starting to design and scratch build planes. Gotta say that scratch building custom designs is the most fun application of engineering principles I've experienced to date. And I geek out on tabulating my calculations and test data, referring back to it during my next design. My first scratch effort was a flatty Concorde with a 50mm EDF and flies killer. My micro Heinkel He-162 was somewhat of a top heavy flop, but my full scale Gibson Flying V flies killer with a 40mm EDF and 4S 650 mAh lipo. I did a conversion of a Guillows Flying Eagle chuck glider to something reminiscent of a Lockheed Super Constellation w 4 drone motors, 3 active rudders, sprung suspension, differential thrust, etc. Very stable scale flyer employing a 3S 1100 lipo. Videos of all these monstrosities are on my fledgling channel. Next scratch build is a 1.1 m sporterized Rumpler Taube fashioned from 3D printed parts, 6mm Depron and of course carbon arrows. Funky steampunk sprung suspension, pull-pull action on all control surfaces, lots of custom features throughout. This one is gonna be my pinnacle scratch build achievement to date. But I have a bevy of other scratch concepts I need to put in the air as well. Now if I could just get my wife to film!
In general, it seems RC hand launchers tend to throw the planes too steep. Doing so has the tendency to stall the plane like it did on the first throw. Focus more on attaining forward speed with the throw rather than altitude.
Great video and an awesome job, I enjoyed seeing your work here, have always loved the aircraft of both sides of the war, only way to build a better aircraft is to take the best parts of your enemies and your aircraft parts and integrate them together to see what you can build to work better. Could have just imagined the faces on pilots if the v 1 could have turned back on its attackers in the air. Awesome video. Will definitely keep a watch out for more. Thanks for sharing 👍.
I tapered the ends of the pool noodle by rotating it by hand for an hour against a belt sander. This left tapered sections shaggy and rough. Monokote iron wouldn't remelt and lay down all that fuzz, so I just sprayed the thing with green Krylon and sent it.
@@clivejacobs5987Krylon is just a brand of regular spray paint, so you can probably find one similar- or maybe look for an acrylic spray paint. If you have an airbrush, you can water down regular house paint and use that (it’s what we paint all of our planes with)
Dan, please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your Aeroscout. However, thanks to Mr. Scout's foresight to be an organ donor, he will live on to once again soar the skies at speeds he never imagined he could attain.
G'day, Brilliant ! Finally, a V-1 Buzz-Bomb which Turns on it's Tormentors and tries to Dogfight...; Rather than going the full Kamikaze While attempting to down the dogged Defender with F.O.D. (Foreign Object Debris) Damage to the Airscrew, Radiators, Air-Inlets, & the Leading-Edges of it's Wings & Tail (the Windscreen being Bulletproof, olde Bean !). Perhaps you might consider repainting it (?), maybe in the colours of Ernst Udet's Fokker D-VII...; with, "Du Doch Nicht !" Painted on the top surface of the Elevators..., saying - to anybody in a position to read the message, before they tried to shoot him in the back (while he was otherwise occupied by picking his nose...?), "Certainly Not You !" Which should probably win some kind of a Prize, as Smartarse-Comments painted on their Aircraft by Fighter Pilots are Adjudicated (?) ! But well done. How might the sanded surface of the Pool Noodle respond to a Hot Air Gun, like the ones Sparkies use on Heat-Shrink Insulation..., maybe through a Thin flat nozzle ? The idea being to BRIEFLY melt the Peaks & Troughs left behind from the sanding, allowing them to sheet together smoothly under Surface Tension - without melting the underlying Cell Matrix & rendering the whole Noodle momentarily soggy... And in the other hand - at the Airspeeds involved, that surface roughness might well be behaving in Air like "Sharkskin" in Water - Reducing Skin-Friction by sticking the Boundary-Layer to the Surface and thus permitting smoother Laminar Flow over the top of that..., Eddy-free, D' y' see ? You might want to make another one, otherwise identical but smoother.., and discover which Pool-Noodle Surface-Finish is the better one to use, on a Stand-off Scale Buzzbomb...(?). (lol !). Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
Now that was a high energy comment! I tried to melt the shaggy peaks of the pool noodle with a Monokote iron, no dice, so I decided it was time to sling some paint and send it.
Very inventive. The Spit in frame with the Doodle Bug was cool. How do you get The Who to approve your use of their music? I had a video muted because I used Beethoven's 5th.
More specifically, I grab a YT link, then open a YT to MP3 converter to strip out the sound track only, download it, then pull it into my video editor. Then when I upload to YT, it does its copyright check. In addition to the Beatles, YT knocked my post down once for trying to use an Ozzy live album. But 95% of artists seem to let me use their sound. YT embeds artist credit in the vide tags, and I don't try to monetize anything, all for fun, so no conflict.
That 's actually pretty impressive. What an original concept.
Thing actually flew pretty good for a Frankenplane.
What an awesome day! Great vid and music. Was fun chasing it around
Nice touch with the audio!
Awesome, I love the soundtrack, too !
The Music just makes this video freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
You have exquisite taste in music, sir.

The pool noodle was stiffened by a single carbon arrow shaft. Worked out to my satisfaction!
Haha brilliant 😂😂😂new supporter here my friend. All the best from the 🇬🇧
Adam ❤❤❤

Love this video
It was fun to watch it fly
In general, it seems RC hand launchers tend to throw the planes too steep. Doing so has the tendency to stall the plane like it did on the first throw. Focus more on attaining forward speed with the throw rather than altitude.
I was also grabbing it too far behind CG and it torqued on forst throw. This is reality TV, and you get to see all the missteps.

Music! Right on
After 5 minutes of video, I was wondering where the RAF is... little bit too early.
London … here I come !
At 30s into the video I worked out why you crashed the aeroscout.. your terrain warning was set way too late... 😉
Well done.
Very cool
Kool project! 👍🏻🍀👍🏻🙂 Takes a pretty good heave. SUCCESS! AWESOME!!! 👍🏻😃 Great video! I subbed.
Thank you. Now past critical maiden flights, this one should last a while. Now on to my next scratch build.
Hi, thanks for the video. What did you paint the pool noodle with? I can't find anything here in the UK that sticks to it. Thanks again. Clive

Haha thank you sir, flew it in the mist and fog at lunch today, flipped on the underwing LED strips that first adorned the Aeroscout.

I'm sure Jim is smiling down on you.

Most musicians allow use of copywrighted music in YT. The Beatles don't, notable example.
@@danielwoehr2733 I did not know that! I approve of your choices. We may be of similar vintage lol.

That’s awesome 😎. Did you get new on board cams? Clarity looks really good
Same old cheapies. Perhaps bright ambient lighting makes for better video.
That thing looks draggy as shit with the rough texture on the fuselage.
Indeed. Belt sanded the taper, creating all the fuzz. Tried to iron the shaggies down w my Monokote iron, no dice. Screw it, paint it, send it.
REALLY lacking the proper noise tho ......................
It sneaks in pretty quiet so I put a couple 3D printed whistles on it. Still wrong tone!
The terrible corny jokes and you missed out on " That 1st flight was a maize ing !!! " no..... sorry ok i will leave now 😝
Drum roll
There is a kernal of truth to your statement
