David for the bicopter have you thought about going larger and being able to run a standard servo either with a gear driven system possible even making the booms the pivot point. Also what about a v tail rudder system like that of the osprey.

hi david your design is beautiful but i think its your frame that is making it hard to go backward. i think when you go back a lot of drag is being created at the nose and since the nose is tilted down when going backward it is acting like the control surface of airplane and is pushing the nose up and the fc is trying to auto level it and i think that is the issue that the bi copter is jittering while you back.

Classic over-excited tricopter wagging it's tail :D

So awesome seeing you again! Come back as often as you can!

I was wondering if you could put a fpv camera on a Servo on the front of the bicopter and when the motors move the camera moves

obscurVEVO he remind one of the WWE wrestler name Erick Rowan with a long beard who is the one half of the tag team , The Bludgeon Brothers.

Suburb the ongoing Islamic terror invasion in Sweden, reviving viking values like family, community, honor and especially resistance is crucial.

Spartacus FPV right? Lol It took me a minute after I matched the voice to lips moving. Lol

They literally introduce him right at the beginning... its not like he grew that beard last week... He has had a full beard for at least a year now. lol

Where is his baby face?

Can you repeat that in english please. :P

Thank you for imparting your knowledge Bruce :) Hmm wonder how we can fix.

David Windestal make it symmetrical....

Need a whiteboard video explaining this xjet.

I agree - you could alter the derivative term (up) to dampen (knock out that oscillation) - perhaps dynamically with direction.

Kevin,,,,,I totally agree with you. And I agree with Drew in that the quad movement has gotten to serious and has lost the good hearted fun factor. For those that don't remember the beginning days of Flite Test, especially when David would join in,,,,,take a glance back at some of the old videos. It was all great fun and innovative at the same time. And much of the information is still applicable today. Again,,,,,great video and Chad,,,,,glad you jumped in to add a bit of old time mix. It was also heartwarming to see a video shot at the origin of Flite Fest,,,,,Chad's back yard,,,,play set and all!!!!

and when peter with his crazy plane idea still there.

Rocket plane!!!!

Wtf is dood ole days you men goda gamla tiderna

AMEN

Chris Corbett I

Chris Corbett yup

Here he appears in Kratos form

That's not even his final form.

Why did he leave flitetest

Giaco Whatever he would trade for a maker knife maybe :)

Didn’t know you were a drone guy!

Megatron in transformers animated

lol Zoe! Yea the unique stuff like this always gets me excited. David is a legend, great episode.

NJ Tech David's enthusiasm and love for it really helped inspire me when I was getting into it. Without him, Kapper, Alex, and the Josh's I may not have ever found my love for aviation and FPV.

without a doubt, it's the side of the hobby that drives innovation for me, gets me going every time. This bind and fly world dont know they've lived! haha, are we sounding old yet? Hope you can come back for another LDO show soon, sad i wasn't around to chat with you last time. When you're on next ill dig out all the old frankenstein flying things i botched together before stuff flew good out the box lol.

As soon as I saw the bi-copter I had a wierd feeling it was meant for 3D flying. I think it's the agressive backwards attitude!

haha, nice.

why not? with 2 servo's and a complex mechanical knee joint :D

psydafke i wonder how that would work. so innovative 😜😂

Would that not just be a helicopter then with 3 Servos and a swash plate 🤔

4 servos including the tail rotor

Someone has done this. Its in a ted talk

The laugh was more crinchy than the bi-curious joke haha. Seem we evolve with time after all.

fuckin autistic attack he had

Well, even Silicon Valley Start Up's selling ideas they jus copied from the hobby and call it robotics. As an examples the GPS driven mapping wings. Or the disposable drones for DARMA.

No. This hobby was around a long time before those guys were even born. One might even say utube vids like rotor riot is famous for, ruined the hobby by attracting negative attention and encouraging idiots to what was never considered to be a dangerous hobby by any authority.

I built model aircraft as a kid ( I been around a long time ) saved money hunting and returning bottles, in those days money was hard to come by, much less be able to afford the materials to build a flying aircraft, it was years in the making and .. long before the internet , No clubs . no body i knew who ever did such a thing ...needless to say I had little success in flying, and I still built after watching balsa wood shatter, was frustrating. needless to say life got in the way and i moved on, but that DREAM remained....fast forward a vast many years, now an old man , with New tech, a wealth of info By Great Friendly Hobbyists, I jumped back in after a few years of researching, just reading the articles of those whining about Lipo batteries almost kept me away.....did more research and learned Lipo's are dangerous to those who refuse to learn CHANGE....Needless to say i am flying and have been awhile and now getting into FPV and flying quads and the only ones ruining the Hobby are the morons who think hiding behind locked gates flying and demanding everyone kiss the AMA and pay them dues to have a cook out or fund a group of people in Muncie who are trying to steal the hobby away from REAL Hobbyists ...and ZERO to do with Utube vids or RR, or anyone else ( other than a handful of people who fly near manned aircraft, which only seems to occur when the AMA and FAA and DoD and ALPA starts screaming to end the Hobbyists freedoms and end 336 ) and to do with whiners who would rather sell their souls to Commercial drone Industr, the FAA and the AMA who is also backing them to force membership and AMA sanction field flying only. R U one of those people J-BOY?

Imagine being a gun owner. Government over reach is nothing new

why we own guns...our Government is our worst enemy

2+1=3

Luuk Cornelissen that’s not what he meant

So two servos and 3 motors

Na that's already what I call my nutsack

Jason Olson I laughed uncontrollably for some reason at that :)

DRONE review man of all drones !

DRONE review man of all drones sorry, am i annoying you? 😂

Its a pretty simple omni antenna on a 3ft standoff, it prob would have done more damage to the quad than to the antenna. These Omni's are actually the cheapest antennas that you would find on a tower because they have no electronics on them.

Feathered Kraterd? Nerdtos?

Krardy.

He turned in to Leif Erikson! Fringa hinga durgan

manuel A. Nothing he's been making videos on the regular. Where Have You Been LOL

I wouldn't call his upload rate regular but he has been uploading

ROOOOOOOOOCKET KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFE *Guitar Riff*

manuel A. Isn't it obvious? He invented a time machine and just recently traveled back to the future and his rocking his 1200AD Viking look. I'm also pretty sure he stole that Bi-copter from the year 2026. Don't ask me how I know, but I'm sure he's a time traveler #FromTheFuture

ask to the mirror... He is Le Drib.

Its Le Drib
