 Oh my god, whoo! Awesome challenge where instead of doing three blades per prop We're gonna cut off two of them and try to see if we can make them fly with one per motor And we're gonna test them for flight time for freestyle ability and of course durability and it's gonna be me and stellar fox You know, we're team La Fox versus Team number one we are gonna be using the HD one spec builds from rotor riot with the rotor riot frame the air unit How do you stack and of course those type train motors where we should take like four hours? See we can come up with four hours for hours. Okay, we'll be done in 30 minutes You know, we're gonna be over time cricket. You just sealed our fate. We're gonna do this quick I think we should all try to make like two sets right cuz I mean if you break a problem right away You'll have backup problems We are heading to my own studio, I know where all my tools and stuff are Let's see, which one do we want to use this one this one this one? How many of these do you have? The whole point of us going to Drew's house was because he knew where all the tools were and He knew where everything that he needed was and it was gonna be easy to find everything that we could possibly need to do this project And as you can see It's a little messy But I know where everything is you can't even say that you're still moving though That's the thing is like you've been moved in for how long and you're still have boxes sitting around like Other game us with all the kids and all that You don't think you can make the kids enough to make this work Yeah, I think it's good enough to work coming from the guy. I don't know how to tune. I'm like we can just tune it Not really. No, okay, I think we really need to balance stuff. Yeah, they gotta be balanced guys. I Wish I had a real prop balancer I used to back in the day When I was doing like other sorts of RC things it was way more common to do prop balancing The biggest thing with a single blade on a prop is that essentially as you're spinning one blade around You have nothing on the other side to counterbalance it It's creating an upwards momentum for unstable environment What it's gonna want to shake back and forth because a prop is going from one side to the other back and forth So to fix that you have to add a counterbalance to the side either another propeller or Some sort of counterweight. They have these tools. That's a prop balancer It's like so then what you need to be able to do is put the prop in any position and it shouldn't spin So like if you let go of the prop and it falls and something like ends up at the bottom That's where the that's where the heavy part is then you add a little weight to the top So I don't have my prop balancer that would have been a great thing to have but I think this will work the further out you place your mass The more of an effect it has so maybe a heavy screw close to the hub Would help would work out well We should hide behind this wall. Look you have these little cube poles just behind you Here's what happened. Okay, this was supposed to be teamwork me and Joe We're gonna be like are we gonna figure something out? We're gonna put together. We're gonna make it work Jeff came over gave us a little idea. It seemed like a bear. I was like, oh, that's good. That's good screw something in there So you have something to work around it was like I'm gonna go ahead. I'm gonna get on a computer. I'm fap fap fap fap fap fap and I'm a prince So I only had enough time to get one set of these props done thinking that because you were gonna make the second set Right. She was gonna make her set of the 3d prints But the 3d prints took too long. We had just a little bit more time for a couple more test prints We'll be done in 30 minutes This is the solution. I actually designed something here. We are hot gluing for the win. We have one of them Best option was probably driving a screw and Secure that screw with an epoxy. It's 331 officially late. We are three minutes late What took you guys so long? You're late. We were science-ing. You're science-ing? I'm looking at our science When we get there and I get a look at the dynamic that's going on they're not working together It seems to me they were doing completely different things. Did you guys use a 3d printer? Oh, it's free! We're finally getting ready to do the first test, which is the flight time test So this is a hover portion of it, okay? Yeah, so now if at any point in time that quad touches the ground that's automatic L, right? I think that's fair. And who has eye protection? Anybody? And I'll be in my office because I don't want to get hit by anything. If I come to bite me in the books, it's untested, but I have with me a lithium-ion battery for high amperage This might not be the best way to go but for hovering for long duration. I think this is gonna get us the win Quads are looking like they're good to go, but I'm kind of eyeing their quad This prop doesn't even have a like I even I sat there and pointed it out One of their props didn't have a counterbalance Three of them had a screw with hot glue on the back and one of them didn't they just had the props cut off I'm instantly thinking this isn't gonna make it Let's touch these. Dude, mine are fine. Okay, so that's one point for us. One point I mean two points really because not only did we win the hover test We also won the durability test like kind of right off the bat our prop room exactly Together let's take it off for freestyle, but I think we know what's going down now Cricket, what do you have to say for yourself? You're cool with forgetting a prop that was drawing and completely forgetting If it wasn't for me, the quad wouldn't have flew. He has a point Oh, we've rocked out the hover test now We're gonna power loop that thing and run the opposing team into oblivion Who's taking the first run man, but he's got this I have confidence because it's gonna pull the wind It's not about confidence in the win It's confident if this machine is gonna last past that row of trees right there and will if you believe oh, man Oh my goodness He's going straight for the backwards Right away Sticks it in the tree. Hey, it's still fine though. So I would call that exactly what I would expect from you That's good. No, I will agree that that rickety ass quad was more impressive than you're flying. There you go I'll take that judge Jeffrey He wasn't able to make it out to the field So we had to pull one of the very talented camera people out in front of the lens to serve as a judge As it turns out she's horrible at judging she doesn't know what she's looking at. I'm actually surprised that thing flew Honestly, I'm like I'm okay with the with the with the outcome right now My moment if I do more than 30 seconds, I feel like I should get better than Oh my god, they were talking all kind of crap guys and this right there that thing was water Hey, I saw water stretch up. Am I at a tree? No, I Gave it throttle and as soon as I gave it throttle We lost screws in all of our props actually so when you go out go easy and don't try to give it any blips Because that's exactly what happened. Look the screws just pops right out So jamming need to score unfortunately It's up like you automatically get points for this don't you think that's true Never over like even under a half throttle. Don't go anything over a half But I really want to fly 3d Those motors just starting to stop and the props are gonna love it You know what go big go home Oh Yeah Like okay, I don't think this happened directly in the crash But as I was flying the quad dipped it a little bit I think that's when we lost the counterbalance for that. Okay. I was up for a decent amount of time I did do 3d for a couple seconds. I got a six and I was only up for 15 seconds Which is ridiculous. She was up for like 45 seconds did a couple spins and tricks 3d one of those things and it was in 3d, right? Yeah, gotta go with the Ted On the durability test we still have three of our props intact So they still are down to props. I thought Jeff not being able to come was just a mild inconvenience. It actually was a travesty Competition If I crash right after all that seriously it took so much by crash I would be so so do you think we already won them? What the heck they hit my butt are you okay that was a fine screw dude You can see that it hit right here. Oh man. Look you can see the ridges of the screws Okay, you guys get the freestyle competition. I'm with you I bet you're the epoxy was actually slowly melting the rest of the propeller and it caused it to have a barrier that caused Separate cuz like you've lost six problems and traditionally epoxy should be more than enough to hold together I would say that their quad is unfit to even be flowing How it works so well on the hover and then we just fell apart on the freestyle I don't know how ours fell apart in the hover and did decent for freestyle. It just means hot glue was superior I seriously the most low-tech solution has won the day So you gonna give me apology if you were talking all kind of smack no my solution my solution was finished She didn't even make it proud. Where's your proud? I'll wait If you want to talk about something that ended completely unexpectedly like I thought we were over with This was a really great fun challenge. I don't recommend people trying this at home because it definitely was super dangerous Thank you guys for watching. Why don't you leave a comment as to who is really the best team in terms of you know sticking together through thick and thin no matter what Also, if you have any ideas on how you would have done this challenge better any sort of science thoughts bouncing around your brain holes Drop that in the comments also because I'd really like to know what other what other things could we have tried It's funny that even though we worked apart we both ended up doing my pretty much the same idea Huge thanks to DJI for providing us with these amazing plots so that we could do this really awesome challenge And see if we could get them in the air with only one prop and get yours in the rotor right store did it
