 This is Alex, this is your new frame that you're working on? Yeah, it's a new frame that I'm working on. The goal with this frame is to make a really durable, lightweight setup, which is similar to the CL-1, but in this case, it's a toilet tank frame, so the battery mounts sideways in the center, which brings the center of gravity a lot closer to the flight controller, which in my opinion makes tuning a lot easier and it makes the quad fly a lot better as well. Big shout out to the guys here in Portland, actually, because when I came last fall, I noticed everyone flew toilet tank and I was trying to figure out why, and they told me how they ejected less batteries, the drones just flew a lot better, so I tried it myself and I would actually agree a lot with that. So have you flown toilet tank before, Drew? It's been a while. These are slightly different props, by the way. So I mean, what's the effect of the toilet tank? You think it should be like kind of more of a neutral center of gravity? Like, so... More balance. Typically on a quad with like a long body, pitch and roll are going to feel different because of the moment of a nurse is different, so on this, should I feel like it's more similar? Like a roll, that's a flip. It does feel like almost more like a bottom-mounted Truex race frame, but not quite. Without the pendulum. Yeah, without the pendulum effect. Yeah, exactly. So it's kind of like you get the advantages of that, like you get that neutral balance without the disadvantages, i.e. that pendulum. When the balance is exactly the same on any axis, so it's not just roll and flip. If you combine them, even then, you're still like feeling the same amount of effort. Right, okay, so what's a good trippy spin tree, this one here? Oh, this feels very good in the trippies, right? Doesn't it? Ooh, screw you. This trippy is such a weird movement. That feels not just pitch. That feels really good, shoot. I'm really liking this success power, too. You just want to go like, where are you? You almost incinerated. You almost incinerated. No quad would have survived that head-on. No quad would have survived that. You're going to be so bad when you see what I just did. No, I saw it blind in sight. I have an idea of what you did. One thing I've noticed with having the battery toilet tanked in the center is when I'm PID tuning the quad, I find that my pitch gains are a lot closer in numbers to my roll gains, whereas with the normal quad, with the battery, just the normal way down the frame, I find that my pitch gains are a little bit higher because the drone's having to use more work in order to move everything because there's so much more weight distributed on the pitch axis. We're with everything in the center, everything's more balanced. So because of that, the flight controller doesn't have to work as hard, and therefore, it can work better at other things, like being fast and responsive. And so I think it plays to a lot of things. I'm just killing it right now. Oh my God. I mean, I don't know if I'm killing it, but I'm just doing bonkers, like, what is happening? Okay, this is Kiss Ultra, by the way. It feels so good. I love this park, too. My God. It's pretty nice. I love the way that quad sounds. It's so smooth. Even when you bottom it out really hard, there's no prop wash. And I will say... Oh, I can't believe there was no prop wash coming out of that ridiculous dive. It was stupid. That, I will take credit for being my tune. Oh my God. I can't believe I just did this. I just did some... It's toilet. Hold on. Get James here, because this is not me. This is not necessarily the frame particular. This is something that... I've flown toilet tank before, but when I came back here last fall and hung out with you guys, I noticed everyone was flying toilet tank. And there's a reason for it, because it's just that balanced feel that you don't really get with the normal drone battery setup, right? Exactly. Where it started for us is with the X-Huber Gapit frame. I think he was one of the first to really, like, popularize the toilet tank, uh, lipo. Non-toilet tank. You run the battery like this. There's a lot of energy required, because there's so much weight on the pitch axis. The flight controller has to work really hard to keep up with that. With the battery in the center, it's... The weight's a lot more centered, and it's evenly distributed. So therefore, the flight controller doesn't have to work as hard, and therefore, it can perform a lot better, which means not only is the quad naturally flying better with the weight in the center, but also your flight controller is operating so much faster now. So then your stick response, everything, your prop wash handling, it's all gonna get much better because of it. There's two barrels, like the two pipes go parallel to one, and then matty back through it. Right up, and then fricking, it's just, oh, it's so fun. And there's something about, like, the roundedness of the tubes, like, when you go to loop back, you're, like, kind of rolling around the outside of the tube, and it just feels... The loop makes it feel... Natural, right? Yeah, yeah. Look at this. Oh my gosh, bro. Why did you go up so high? What is it? Why did you go so high? Yes! Yes! Hold on! Yes! Yeah! This is the first time that I'm, like, seeing success. This is so... No! You're gonna leave me in bed! I'm just saying... So, another thing that I really like about toilet tank is when you have your lipo sideways like this, is you don't need as much, you know, body to hold the lipo. So that means you can get really short body, and what that's gonna do for you is provide a little bit of durability because the first point of impact is your arms rather than the front of your cage. So you're gonna be less likely to hit the components that matter, things like your lens, your antennas. One of the things that I used to do all the time when I had a longer frame was, since I go backwards a lot, I just smash into my antennas. But because I've got such a short body now, you know, there's so much buffer before these antennas that I almost never break antennas anymore. One thing I will say is this frame is more rigid than most of the other 5 inch frames out there. I think that rigidity is what makes it fly so smooth and tune a lot better as well because I can get more aggressive with the tune. I have some black box logs compared to the frame I was using previously in this one and the same light tronics and everything. The gyro day is just much cleaner on this one. Honestly, it just flies so good. I enjoyed flying it. Your quad flew amazing. I think it has less to do with the toilet tank and more to do it. The van is just a maniac about like tuning and squeezing out like every bit of juice out there. If you're watching this video now, you can go in and buy the frame link in the description down below and I'm really excited to see you guys try toilet tank and also try the better normal. Let me know which one you think flies better. I don't know that toilet tank strikes me as something like, oh my God, I got to switch my stuff. It's something I'm not opposed to trying it more, but you know, there's also something to, you know, flying what you're used to, right? I mean, I've been flying this for so long, right? I didn't immediately see such a huge benefit that it'd be worth getting used to something new. Maybe if you're a pilot that is maybe easier to adapt things or enjoys trying things more. I'd say it's worth trying. It's cool. It is different. Well, I would say that you did feel a difference, right? Yeah. Like, especially when you're trying the trippy spins. Yeah, it ain't nothing. Like, you can tell it was a little bit easier to get into, a little bit easier to stay locked into. I think that's because you're not fighting the difference between each axis.
