6s 250 anyone ?

Thats unreal. And nice catch at the end.

That's pretty damn swift. A blink or other similar small distraction and it would be in the next field/town/country!

Russinating · 14 Jan 2015 at 12:09

That's epic. How does he not crash it?! I can barely see it at times.

Flukester · 14 Jan 2015 at 12:12

I can't understand how people fly like that, my brain doesn't work that fast

gandhi · 14 Jan 2015 at 12:13

Either fighter jet pilot reactions & eyesight, muscle memory flying similar patterns or very good visualisation techniques (knowing what the quad is doing even though you can't see it!)

Maybe magic.

I'm very jealous.

That's just insane.

Kipz · 14 Jan 2015 at 14:11

That video is insane.

PinkFloyd · 14 Jan 2015 at 14:23

Yep, that boggles the mind how someone can fly like that! And I thought the one on page one of this thread from a few years ago was bonkers!

Rilot bracket has arrived. I gotta go work and sort a problem out, so will sort it out when home

booyaka · 14 Jan 2015 at 16:28

mental stuff - that video is banana's!

Lisapete · 14 Jan 2015 at 16:48

The FrSky Taranis FPV monitor mount

Nice solid fix, came with the screen fixing bolt.

H3-3D Travel Bracket

They call it for the Phantom but it's not. Really really smart idea. Good way to protect a £250+ investment.

edit: at least I think it's Warthox, it's the same flying field as he flys from.

Pretty sure it is, His vids got me started in the world of Multirotors.....Amazing stick control and a whole lot of guts to fly like that!

Rilot · 14 Jan 2015 at 19:05

Thanks Lisapete. Ordered.

Today I finally got around to building my Thorax mini hex. It's all together but I'm not happy with the motors. Using the RCX 1804s and they just feel really badly made. Teeny gauge wires too. I think I'll bag some DYS 1806s for it instead. I've got some Tunigy 1704s here but at 1900kv I think they are probably too slow.

Seen that 6S 250 before. 22.2v with 2000kv motors is 44,400 RPM. Fully charged he can run at 50,400 RPM. Utterly insane.

Good man, it'll soon come. You order anything else?

What gauge wire are they? The 1806's are only 22awg. Or did you mean the actual windings?

DJMK4 · 14 Jan 2015 at 19:38

Don't know why they didn't just use connectors on these dji Instead of sodering

The wires out of the motor. They are erm... fly-speck gauge.

DJMK4 · 14 Jan 2015 at 20:48

Here's my poor attempt, the negative wire on all of them were a pain! Most of the positives went on OK ish

afraid its just going to fail due to soldering issues

opstrat · 14 Jan 2015 at 20:58

i wont lie, its not much better looking than mine.

the pics are not too clear but is the connections nice and shiny or dull looking?

there is stuff you can get to put on the connections to secure them and stop them from connecting with the other connections. cant remember the name though.

Burned_Alive · 14 Jan 2015 at 20:58

Need a better picture really, but from an initial look most of those look like cold solder joints and I wouldnt leave it like that.

What soldering iron did you use? Looks like you didnt get it hot enough.
