Tiny Waypoint Drone! - 230g Autonomous Wing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2020
- Flying a waypoint mission around the lake with my 230g wing + ardupilot. I built this plane to see if its possible to fit a flight controller, FPV, HD camera, telemetry radio on a sub 250g plane. Its fun, safe, and much less stressful to fly than any larger drone.

You know you can trust your auto launch when you chuck it out over water!
No kidding dude, I was thinking the same thing... that's full send
same thought here. i used to live by that lake and its rather shallow and obvs freshwater but still. the trust he has
I mean atleast it would float haha 😂
hell ya!
No Kidding. This guy is the YODA of Ardupilot. Use the force Luke......
"That baby would have a bad day."
Truer words have never been spoken.
The baby would have a bad day with the 250g plane
"That baby would probably just giggle"
Falser words have never been spoken. He doesn't know much about babies.
One prop per one baby eye.
I've been crashing my 230g plane into baby faces all day. Not one of the 12 babies giggled.
@@ddegn "I would like to report false advertising, officer"
Primary hazards for normal fpv: large birds, small aircraft
Primary hazards for this thing:
Small birds, large insects
But not a baby's face.
15:04 you can already see they're attacking
And stupid peopels that bull you and request drone flight permission if even it is not need
And mavics
"onboard CPU to base station - just hit a grasshopper ... self checking systems ... oh now - another locust ... 3 ... 4 .. foam wing severely damaged, prop slicing through the swarm ..... stalling detected ... going down! MAYDAY MAYDAY! Terminal velocity reached! Critical lower flight height reached! Expecting impact ...." **flatlining**
FPV-pilot: **f*ck**
How often does a seagull run into a baby's face? The FAA needs to register all birds that weight more than 250 grams.
Very nice build.
Now you're talking. Transponders for every bird
@@bren42069 Good point. In addition, Windmills are killing millions of migratory and large predatory birds per year. You don't hear the Sierra Club or Greenpeace complaining. If you watch the movie They Live or read the book 1984 the government wants to be able to spy on you, they do not like it the other way around. Probably because the management of Sierra Club, Greenpeace and Al Gore invested windmill companies.
The FAA may have inadvertently improve the performance and cost efficiency of fpv with a 250 gram rule.
@@highwaymen1237 over here in germany greenpeace and every envoiremental group is complaining about bird and bat windmill killing. This is a big reason why we are falling behind in wind energy.
@Bohappenstance Click I think that was a cover Story, the girl next to him punch him in the nose. The irony.
@@highwaymen1237 - Millions? Birds don't tolerate heat very well. Here in Australia I have seen mass flocks of birds die from heat. Windmills do kill birds but not in the numbers you believe.
Please do a build video on this sub 250g autonomous plane.
Yes please, with pixhawk tuning
I do have a video on my channel which covers all the basic points related to apm flight controller which is quiet similar to pixhawk, hope you will find it useful!
Well, the actual build is just a piece of foamboard with a bunch of electronics stuck to it. Not sure if a build video is really necessary.
@@bacon.cheesecake building an airplane involves a lot of work.
@@bacon.cheesecake it seems like you haven't build one
14:17 "There's a freaking Mavic™, goddamned..." LOL
Can you add a shop where I can just easily order all the parts you are using, you can get your clip off the products also! Win win, your are some of my favourite videos btw keep it up... could you pull off an automated drone light display?
The budget for those displayss are huge man, i don't doubt he could do it, but it's expensive
Yes sir, if anyone knows at least what HD camera he's using, please comment. That good quality video in a small lightweight package, sweet!
schneitzlemeier That’s a runcam split. He said all of the gear in the beginning.
UNIFY PRO Video Tx: $40, RUNCAM SPLIT video recorder/camera: $50, 2 x 3600 kv motors: $45, DragonLink telemetry system: $335. At least $500 USD plus BECs, props, LiPo battery, servos, trasmiter , FatShark FPV goggles and antenas... more than $1K USD!
@@alexecheverria That's cheap ! Shut up and take my money!(XD
Best sponsor ad video ever. Freakin hilarious dude!!
Yeah. I think I might be gay now.
I love this, especially the keeps part.
KEEPS loooooong lasting Hair 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
14:20 'I hate nothing more than seeing someone else's drone in the air.' So very true hahaha. Also that ad segment is fantastic, whatever Keeps paid you for the sponsorship it wasn't enough haha
Pretty cool little wing Daniel! You are the king of autonomous FPV. You should do a setup video on this wing so we can see how it works. Cheers...
This channel consistently puts out some of the coolest DIY tech videos out there. Never a full moment.
Wait, it really called Duck Island? I thought he just named it himself xD
gg
Yes, it seems to be its real name: www.openstreetmap.org/way/4848414
this island is near me and has a unusual name, 42.995056 -71.355956 copy n paste those coordinates in google earth, but make sure in the options that Decimal/degrees is selected as your coordinate choiceage.
@@alanssnack1192 Found it. Searching for Duck Island in Google Maps is enough :p
@@thesciencefurry If you found the island I was refering to, then what is its name?
dude just be careful, 5:30am in Seattle is prime flight time for storks dropping babies off and you are like, totally in the air space of that
You should make a video of the design and building process.
It's a sheet of foam with some electronics taped to it. The build wouldn't bee too interesting.
Thats not what this channel is about.
I would love to see the specs and build of it, too!
can confirm... accidentally crashed my 230 gram long range fpv drone into a babies face by accident... the baby laughed and the mom laughed, then i laughed
You can literally see my house in this video and I definitely wasn't awake for the sunrise so I basically made a cameo. Epic
I would like to see more of this little wings adventures.
I think this is one of the most elegant drones you've made! So efficient and graceful. Absolutely beautiful to see it in the air; it looks so composed compared to your other machines.
Love your videos. Technology, excitement, fun - all in it. I am from time to time in Seattle, love seeing these videos with views, you would otherwise not be able to see. Greetings from Germany.
Honestly, we need a highlight reel for the ads. That ad was magnificent.
Your RUclips video's are seriously some of my favorites to watch at the moment!
I feel like you took an idea straight out of my head and made it reality.
I love these videos of experimental stuff.
Including the experimental ad lmao
The Ad in the middle is legendary. AWESOME! X-D
Really appreciating those metric units. Also great display of autonomous capabilities in such tiny package
Very cool plane, well done! I think you could boost the battery range by a significant amount with other motors. These high KV drone motors with their small propellers are not exactly efficient... A lower KV motor with larger propeller would be much more efficient.
What motor/prop configuration do you think would be better? I want to build one and try your config
@@pereoz In general, the bigger the propeller is fort a given amount of thrust, the more efficient it is. Also, there's a simple rule of thumb for RC-Planes: At about 300 Watts per Kg weight, the plane will climb vertically. So for this plane, I'd suggest 200-250 Watts per Kg. This would be about 60 Watts for this particular plane. So I'd choose something like a 2204 Outrunner (27mm Diameter, 20-25g weight, 80 Watts max.) and probably a 7x4 prop. Something like this would for sure be more efficient than two high revving drone motors.
I like the look of this 😍
That Keeps ad had me in stitches! Best ad ever
I cant tell you how much I enjoy this kind of videos. Way to go. Thank you
please share the making video of this plane. parts list and introduction to the autonomous system. Am new to hobby and amazed by your work specially solar.
First time i have watched an add in ages , that was so funny , loved it Daniel , all the best .................Also loved the video .......
One of your best videos! Tiny and capable!
Very cool. Nice to see you using a twin tractor setup. I've been putting twins on flying wings for many years now and really like them for how quiet and efficient they can be.
That’s one of the few adds I’ve actually enjoyed, wow
I do 99% of my flying in a dense urban environment, and honestly most all of your videos are far more responsible than my guerilla missions around the neighborhoods with an overpowered micro skyhunter. Great video, and nice little bird.
Awesome, been keen to see you go micro like this for a while now. Would love to see more
I absolutely love that your using units of measurement that I can understand, big thumbs up.
I now have to worry about planes hitting my baby's face, thanks a lot. Great video as always.
Wow : hair loss product:)
I gotta say, that was creative placement by the sponsor.
Some birds chasing the last landing :)
The therapy this guy offers...🔥🔥💯
Truely calming...🔥🔥💯
It's definitely safe, thank you for making that point.
Nice one + amazing what's possible with that low weight / payload!
love your stuff dude
@@birbexe Start with something easy. You'll get there if you want to.
(It's a steppingstone process, starting with toy-grade stuff to learn flying, and then go from there reading and watching tutorials)
I was about to quit when the ads started, then i saw the glamour shots.. Powerful
That's gorgeous footage
CAN YOU PLEASE DO A BUILD VIDEO? Thanks - love the long range stuff
you vid are really good
Love these types of projecys
I live in Seattle, and seeing Greenlake from above is stunning!
I've been watching your progress for a long time and all I can say is congratulations. The discipline you build into your missions is what makes the evolution possible. Keep up the good work!
What GPS Modules do you use, all your drones seem as though they have very accurate positioning?
Nice! Love these kind of videos. Flown for years but only just getting interested in wings and gps.
What a gorgeous view of the lake!
Please make a tutorial on how to build this amazing plane!! Or, if possible just tell what parts did you use! Thanks! Continue with the great work!
Newton Lacerda Jr. a parts list would be really helpful
I wanna build one of these! it look so fun inexpensife and ot intimidating. and durable too.
The Pixracer autopilot and flight controller is $120, GPS module is probably around $50, TBS Unify for FPV video transmission is about $40, Runcam Split for video is about $70, those high KV drone motors are probably about $50 for a 4-pack, ESCs for them maybe $20, servos around $5, and probably around $5 for some foam board and carbon strut.
That brings the total investment for his setup on just the plane side of things up to about $360ish, however, the cost of everything else needed gets just a bit more expensive, a Dragon Link for telemetry and control is $330 for a full kit with transmitter and receiver, the Fat Shark Dominator HD3 FPV goggles were $450 a while back. I'm not quite sure what radio transmitter he's using, but 300-500 bucks will get you one that accepts telemetry signals from the Dragon Link.
FPV, even on the cheap end, can still be quite an expensive hobby. It's significantly cheaper to build a cheap park flier foamy like the plane in the video without FPV or any autonomous flight capabilities, could probably build that plane for a lot less than $100.
@@Johnyknowhow aaaah!😂 i expected cheaper than that! Thx for the info! Maybe a radiomaster tx16 s???? Skyzone 02c????? Even cheaper? Eachine ev800d and betafpv lite one radio.... not long range at all, but still fun... but yea. The autonomous part is not cheap.... sadly...
@@Johnyknowhow I know... fpv is expensife. I wanna build my firs quad but I jus have not enough mony... im thinking about a tinyhawk 2 freestyle.
@@lena96969 Yeah, there are definitely some lower quality budget options for FPV that can work as a stepping stone into the hobby and let you decide whether or not you want to continue with it, the equipment Daniel has is fairly high-end.
@@lena96969 ok I bought the drone and its absolutely worth it, I would seriously recommend the tinyhawk 2 freestyle, and get the pack with the transmitter and goggles, and if you can afford it buy more batteries
bruh i just love your long range fpv videos, idk man but they give me a sort of peaceful emotion and yeah bro just keep up and keep on making such videos.......
This was a sick vid! I love those tiny planes going on all on their own. Nice!
i feel like i have some kind of ptsd after that "advertisement" segment. thanks for that ;)
It'd be better to emphasize its low terminal velocity rather than its weight on the matter of how much damage it may cause to civilians on the ground.
A 230g pointy object can definitely kill, but not this one :)
Damage to civilians on the ground may be low, but damage to civilians (or non-civilians) in aircraft could be quite high. It should be kept low enough to not create a danger to other aircraft.
Thanks for the video and great views. I'm going to have to order a few things but I'm definitely doing this.
Awesome build, and I think you are right about under 250g weight LR products coming out. Also best sponsor spot EVER! Keep up the awesome work.
Hi, i love youre projects mate. They are cool. May i ask roughly how much would a set up like this cost? just curious. Looks fun
Yeah I am curious too
Depends on parts used because the dragonlink and pixracer are overkill. I bet you could do this for $100 with new parts.
@scooby skwad It depends if you want $300 dollar goggles, you can get some for 40. You can get a transmitter from china for 10
Im going to flex on you by saying that i made one thats 130g 🤣😋
edit: mine only does around 9-10km though
Probably one of the first adds I have NOT been able to jump past..... Good job! Keeps should be proud.
It's definitely a cool little plane, but that was some A+ rationalizing during the mission outset.
I was completely sold, in fact I would argue it's better than okay, because at the end of the day if you can help just one kid.. (sorry, getting emotional here) to giggle by crashing a drone into its face, then you've done your job.. and I salute you.
Even though it is
The baby could dodge this thing, dont make excuses for the baby
That Keeps promo was absolutely hilarious! 😆
7:32 Best advertising on RUclips. Made my day.
restrictions in this field are soooo anooying and dumb boii...
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
This is awesome !! Thanks for sharing
Just amazing
Wow!, I liked your video! Waypoint drone around the lake was the coolest thing you ever flew your craft. I wanted to learn on how waypoint work. Thank you!
Keep up the good work! Always compelling work!
Thanks for this nice video, very beautiful and peaceful
230g is challenging... and seems it is too light weight to fight the winds
I love the adv!! watched it 3 times
Great video.
I'd love to see more of the software/mission planning/live mission updating.
Hey keep. Thanks for the sponsorship
The keeps ad was the best part TOO friggin FUNNY!! And your plane ROCKS!! I want one. How much for this die hard, long-term fan who's been watching you since long before you had sponsors?? Back before you needed KEEPS :) Great Job as always.
its very nice, very creative to make a mini fps plane
I am so glad I didn't skip past the ad, like I almost always do! That was funny AF!
OMG the keeps add !!! hysterical.
Very awesome video Daniel! I love these types of videos and I always look forward to seeing your videos! Time for me to get my Mini Skyhunter out and maiden it and do some long range flying!
2nd best keeps ad that I've seen. Nice
This is pretty exciting. Autonomous flight is needed here on the farm.
That commercial was worth watching on its own
Dude, I am so very impressed with this plane and your building and flying skills!! I build and fly foamies and I am building a new modified delta to practice flying the elevon type planes. I have a new AR 900 that is waiting to be built with long range GPS flights in mind. I am glad I subbed and I wish you would share the plans on this build with us. 👍👍
That add in the middle of the video is sexier than that autonomous flight. Not a simple advertisement.
That looked so Dope flying by landing...
Back in 2014, That doc was where I use to play my flute, and people would stare. Classical music was a thing and people loved it.
wow that was awesome.
Love the sound of those little motors, currently building a long range setup like this after watching what you accomplished. So much potential for such little cost!! (Airframe at least lol)
It's funny to watch you looking off in one direction while the drone was flying past in another.
Very cool stuff. I think this'll be my need hobby after I figure out 3d printing so I can easily fab my own parts.
Who else thought about, Something about Mary with that comercial ad.
Awesome show of talent and skill
I think this is a cool demonstrator with all the law stuff.
Could make it even more "safe" by building light wing loading/protected props eg. shrouds
thanks for the parts list
Wow really cool! Nice build & nice video!
Amazing what’s possible with the tech & the know how. 👍
Great work dan. I love that idea of small gps wing. Good to see it in action aswel. That last flight when you come in to land all those birds follow you in
👍🏽😁 I think they where swallows or house martins. Look forward to your next vid mate.
