 Am I on it? Hold it! You're on it! Put your arm! It's charging! Disarm! Disarm! We're gonna refuel a quad just like they do in the jets, the fighter jets. They refuel them. They extend this rod out, and the plane comes and attaches, and essentially it refuels them mid-hour. How are we gonna do it? Yeah, we're gonna do it. So, magnet drone from a previous episode is back, and we're going to lock magnet drone onto this airplane. With these four pads that I've installed on here, and then two metal pads that have positive and negative attached from underneath. There is a success battery underneath the plane that is going to recharge the success battery on magnet drone when it lands on there. One battery to another battery, basically. Yeah, we're literally hooking one battery directly to another battery. We're siphoning the electrons. Have you ever done this, plugged one battery into another battery? I have. Does it go pretty quick? It goes like almost instantaneously. Okay, so it's gonna just even out what each battery has. Exactly, and it happens like so fast. This is not the right way to charge it. Yeah, it is not the right way. I tried to put it. Have you ever jumped started the car? Yeah. That's all you're doing. So we landed a quad on an airplane and Drew made a comment in that episode that it was sort of like refueling a jet plane and I thought that would be an awesome concept to try to actually pull off with a quadcopter. So that's why I designed this project. This is a flight test kraken. It's the largest plane that I have plans for to make a big foam board airplane and it does a really great job of carrying a load. So I figured it was a perfect plane for this project. How long can this fly for? This should be able to fly for about 10 minutes at least, so a lot longer than our drones. So if we can get on there quick, we can get a two minute flight, hang out for eight minutes and then get another two minute flight. This is going great so far. Once this gets hit, which it just did, there's no telling which direction this motor's actually facing and that's the problem I was having earlier with the Maiden. You have to put another prop on it and see if it's facing the right direction or not. Okay. I got it. I got it. Right yaw, right yaw. I think your right motor is producing more thrust. There we go. Oh boy. All right, keep it stable. You're filling it out. Okay, Jeff hit it. Oh, almost. You can go for another pass. You're filling it out. Speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down, speed up. Coming down. Now you saved it. Yeah, but the props aren't happy. One motor is not on. Yep. Still not, but you don't want to because the props, uh-oh. Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. I shouldn't be laughing, but. All right. Cut everything. I almost got it. Did you stick to it? I stuck onto it, yeah. Do you think the battery made connection? I don't know, but I stuck onto it and I saw the plane do this. From my point of view, so I'm like, I should get off so I can help him out. Yeah. Because I didn't land on it's center. I landed on it sideways like this. Yeah. Luckily the plane crashed in the grass. Yeah, so the last time I built one of these, it flew really well, but I put Inav on this in hopes to get a better flying plane. And it did the opposite. It flies really horrible. Can't get this one to cooperate. And there's not a whole lot of documentation on the differential thrust. Differential thrust is when you have two motors spinning props in the opposite direction. You can put more power to one motor than the other and it will steer and give the plane rudder. It's like y'all without having a rudder. And that's where I think I'm having the issues. I just still think that when Van over landed on you, it really disrupted the plane. Is there anything you can do to the build to make the plane more stable once it's got the added weight of a drone and all that? I put the drone exactly in the center of the CG. Gotcha. So it shouldn't change the CG. I mean, I technically could move it forward if it screwed the CG up. It would be better to have it forward than backwards. Better to have it more nose heavy than tail heavy. It looked to me like watching the replay that as soon as he got on it, it just kicked the nose up. So I think that it's not exactly, I mean, that being said, he didn't necessarily land on it perfect, right? So maybe he landed a little rear of it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Hey, welcome to motor ride, guys. This is Kraken Charge Drone V2. Because the first one wasn't salvaged. I don't know why it's doing that. It's, yeah, he wasn't lying. Speeding. Go, bro. All the hell he had one time just a month ago. We have never been this. This is crazy. Double check? Triple check? Yep. Triple check? Now we got two wings, though. Sean built two. So the drone has been through multiple, multiple revisions and the plane and the landing mechanism has been through multiple, multiple revisions. So what do you got? What do you got? So now I built two of them. It's no big deal. They only take like 12 hours each to make. So I mean, no big deal. But it's only your life and time. Yeah, so we do. Number two. Oh, I love that. Wait, so then it charges it while you're flying? Yeah. Oh, it charges it? Have you not been here for this? No, I remember the old revision had the prongs here. It's been a recharge. I didn't know it was a recharge, by the way. So the drone is not posted right now. Plug it in, don't plug it in. Not plugged in. It's so cool. I will say, Sean, you definitely have learned from the previous Kraken's. You've definitely reinforced it, I can tell. Oh, yeah. It's got spars like crazy. The drone's taking off with a voltage of 24.2, so it's not fully charged to start, right? Yes. Yes, it's like 24-ish. Yeah. What is fully charged is 25 volts. 25. Landing is 20. 21. 21, OK. Take it off. We're going to a racking part. The plane is up. Why did that happen? You're flying the plane. You're flying number two. I'll fly it. All right, so Sean crashed the plane on the first go. Sean's a great plane pilot. The plane's fall or was it his fall? He has tested this plane a lot. He sent me a lot of videos showing that it flies. It's good to go. The plane is locked in. I honestly just think that he's put so much time into this that by the time it comes to do the thing, nerves. Next plane. Nerves get you. Van Over doesn't care about crashing Sean's plane. He's not going to be nervous at all, so he's going to fly great. So we're switching pilots. Van Over's going to give it a go. Van Over flies real planes with his body in the plane. He's still here, so he can probably handle a foamy. I'll go up on the quad. Let's probably, how's your perching skills? Between the two of us, who do you think should try to land? I'll try to land it. You think you can do it? All right, attempt two. Plane two. Just had to say plane two. All right, plane up. Plane is up. All right. Is that your approach? You're going to be right there, and I'm just going to try to land it. You're going back and forth on this field. Cool. So turning. One motor is getting more power than the other, so this is super sketchy. So I'm going to give it a stab. Let us know when you're on it, Nurk. OK, Bubby, whenever you're ready. Nice and easy, Bubby. Nice and easy. It's been a stable as I can for you, Bubby. Stable as I can. I'm going to keep going. I'm going to tell you when I turn. All right. I'm going to wait until you go around the other way. No, watch those props, Bubby. Yeah. Turn it around. Turn it around. You don't want to take out the props on the plane, so. Yeah, Sean, one motor is definitely getting more power than the other. I don't know if it's something in the radar, but we're flying. We're good. There we go. He's on it. Line up looks good. Oh my god. Don't go fast for it. Just nice and easy. This is hard. Yeah, it's taken us years. Yeah, that's good, Bubby. Nice and just let it happen. Let it happen. Oh, he's on the plane. He was on the plane, but he didn't get the magnet. He was on the plane, Bubby. All right, Bubby, turn it around. All right. That was good, Bubby. What do I land for 6S? I'm on 22 volts. When you get to 20, you're fine. When you start seeing low to low. That's the whole point. We're going to recharge this. Nice and slow. Nice and easy. Nice and easy. Let it happen. You're so close. You're so close. Oh my god. You were like two inches too short. Oh my god. Turn it around. Turn it around. Last try. Last try on this back. All right. He's at 21.5. It's pretty low, though. Fly until it drops. Fly to low. No, the drone is valuable, too. We've got only one of those. Am I on it? You're on it. Put your arm. It's charging. Disarm. Disarm. It's going up to 22 volts. Very good. It's not flying great. Let's let it charge. No, let it charge. Let's see how long we can get it. I'm going to gain some altitude, getting some altitude, because it is not happy. It is really. Oh my gosh. I'm playing like plain. Oh my gosh. This is so good. Oh my god, you get the state. I love this so much, dude. This is so good. 22.2. Are you on fire? No. Oh my. This is not a time for you. Oh my gosh. Dude, this is so funny. Oh my gosh. Can anyone else see through the goggles? I'm watching you, buddy. You're just like, dude. Yeah, I'm just like, this is still. I think the batteries have equalized, though, because you've just settled at 22.2, 22.1. Yeah. All right. Why don't you take off, buddy? So arm it, one click up, and then just pitch forward. No! Actually, you know what's crazy? I'm going to land it. I'm landing. He's flying at 20. No, just keep flying, buddy. You just charge. Why would you? That was the whole point. You can keep flying now. You can finish your race. I can finish my race. I can't believe it. All right. Come on, man. You got this. You got the landing. You got this. It's Vanny's time. Beautiful landing. The episode. Let's do it again. I got more ideas. No, so here's what I want to do. Well, if I were to land it. Okay. Then give them your goggles. It's goggles. Oh, and then 55 from it. Yes! Yeah. This is great because if you're flying your drone and you need to do a longer mission than your battery can go, you can recharge in the air and then, you know, in an extreme scenario, you're out on a really far long range mission, land on the plane and the plane can just bring you back because planes have really long flights. And these things can fly like 15, 20 minutes. You can fly your drone way out there. No hope of a return. Just land on the plane. It's easy. And then the plane can just bring it back. The entire flight I was having to hold because the motors for whatever reason are not equal amounts of throttle. So I'm holding almost full. I had to trim it all the way. I was holding full left because it's differential thrust. So it was super sketchy to fly. But I finally found a good rhythm with it where I could keep it stable. And then once you're on it, I just gave it a little bit more power and it flew just fine. That's it. It flew great with the quad on it. Get in the air! Yes! Yes! We're on it! It's on the plane! It's on the plane! It's on glasses off. Someone get goggles ready for me. Okay. He's in a flight PV. From the drone on the plane. I'm ready. Go for it. Go, go, go, go, go. Oh my gosh. Don't worry. You're just right over water. Sean, I need someone to adjust the goggles on my face because I cannot. Oh yeah. There you go. Is that better? A little lower. Perfect. Perfect. Oh my gosh. I'm flying in a PV. That's hilarious. Oh my gosh. I see his props too. Oh, this is great. I see Merck. So take him out there. Just go for it. You know, we're going for a spin. Yeah. We're going for a spin. Yeah. We're going for a spin. Yeah. That's hilarious. So Vanova's flying the plane from the PV camera that's on the drone. That's on the plane. Fly by? Here it is right here. Oh, this is awesome. Low pass. Oh, that's so cool. So cool. That's awesome. All right, Merck. We're going on a little trip. I wonder if you can land there. I'll go with you. This is so sick. We're doing it. Okay. Well, don't totally leave. I'm flying in passenger mode. Alex, do you think you can shoot this gap right here? Which gap? There's a gap right ahead of us. I know what you're talking about. I know. I see it here. Oh, my God. There we go. Oh, he's going first. Let's get this. Let's get this. Come on. It's all in the bag. It's flying from the quad. What? I'm burning. I'm burning. Bobby, be ready on the radio. I'm going to break it over. We're going to try and go and burn it. Hold up. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready, sir. All right, here we go. Can you get it? Getting your speed. Let me go. Dive, dive, dive, dive, dive, dive. Pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up. Yeah, I did it. It was just shaking. That was good. What, the drone? No, we're going to do it again. Get ready to re-arm, Bobby, in case you fall off. All right. Whoa. What's happening? There we are. There we are. Where's the wings? Right over there. Did you really just save it? Yeah. Because he fell off. Oh, no FED. Beautiful landing. Oh, my gosh. This is one of the best run of episodes ever. Bro, we gapped the Kraken. We got the Kraken! I tried to go in a burden. And all of a sudden, I go upside down and my FED just goes whoop. I'm like, where is it? I don't know where it is. I ripped it off and it's just in the splat spin. I know, right? It was worth it. It was worth all the effort. Definitely. I mean, to see it actually happen finally after two years. Probably my favorite right episode though to be fair just because it's the one we put the most time into I haven't felt that much Excitement me too in such a long time you guys don't understand like all this time and energy like we've flown across the country trying to do This like multiple times I was not a married man when this project started now I am just to see this succeed and then we literally we shot a gap we landed on it We took off and land like we just we did it Well, we did everything with it like it's nothing else to do is I still can't believe we got it I started with that an instant. Oh, yeah That's all you needed to do before yeah I just made two before the controller. We've been good. That's been par for course every time we've tried this concept The plane has gotten instantly destroyed or the drone has failed to stick it all or we have video issues or just More things than I can count as usual immediately boom plane right in the ground having a second one They say have two is one one is none. Yeah, that's right. That's who is one one is none I was honestly pretty surprised that you were able to actually land it on the first battery I mean, I think a few of us have tried to land on it and granted maybe the circumstance is a little bit different But it's still incredibly impressive good job landing on the plane That was really hard to do. I was really impressed how you did the loop and the drone stayed on that was like one of the coolest Things I've seen on this planet. Honestly, I had so much fun I mean just flying the plane FPV from the quadcopter that landed on it. Honestly the scariest of those funny parts when you fell off This was like a really cool proof of concept I have so many fantasies about like what you could actually do with this if you actually like developed it like with the drone on The plane fly out there get some distance Take off and then the plane could go into like an autonomous hover mode You can fly do your drone thing. Oh for like land back on the plane Take back control of the plane bring it back You know like that'd be so sweet to take the advantages of both crafts, you know Plains have very long flight time can cover great distances, but they're not so acrobatic drones super acrobatic very capable short flight times Stick them together with magnets Awesome footage from nerf by the way. Yeah, you got that chase on place The gap shot the dive shot what following Bobby all the way to the ground smashing to the ground It took more attempts than I can count or want to believe it took But it was absolutely worth it. There was an absolute blast Shawn Persevere Over two years. This is the longest rotor ever took two years in production. Holy crap.
