What is new in your little world?
Re: What is new in your little world?
My Octocopter should fly the same as the K130.The frame size and hardware are virtually identical to the Kraken K130 and in fact I used many of the same components.

I am using the K130 Foxtech motors, Foxtech 60A esc's and same prop size 18"X6.1.
I just built my frame lighter and eliminated weight wherever I could.
Once I have some design flaws eliminated such has the landing gear not being wide enough I plan to mount a magnetometer, 3D Imagers, hyperspectral cameras and whatever else the future holds for mineral exploration.

Which is a stroke of luck, really, because you couldn't afford a penny more.scared? wrote:I can buy a 15$ drone that flies better than that pos... Just saying...
Re: What is new in your little world?
You've designed and built a machine that flies through the air. That's like 0.001% of humans who've ever existed. Fucking awesome.axbaby wrote:It has gps, barometer, magnetometer and accelerometer.
I built the frame by hand with a dremel using carbon fiber sheets and tubes. I bought all the components from about a dozen sources. It flew well beyond my expectations and stayed in the air way longer then I imagined. I only used 1/3 of the batteries this thing can carry and it stayed in the air for 16 minutes.
Very Happy

And before you say, he put a motor on his, I put a motor on paper airplanes as a kid.
Re: What is new in your little world?
That glides and has no controls. It doesn't fly and can't be flown.

That's pretty awesome. I look forward to more vids of your drone.axbaby wrote:My Octocopter should fly the same as the K130.The frame size and hardware are virtually identical to the Krakken K130 and in fact I used many of the same components.

How much am I off by a factor of? You were about to tell me, but then you noticed a billion out of nowhere and never finished your sentence...Eraser wrote: You're off by a factor.... oh... a billion

gonna need some citation for that
Re: What is new in your little world?
Way more than a million...

Re: What is new in your little world?
0.001% of all people that currently live is 7,000,000 people and sys0p said of all people that ever lived. I meant he'd need to take 1 billionth of his number and then he'd probably be closer to what he was trying to say.seremtan wrote:you're claiming 1 million people have designed AND built a machine that flies through the air?Eraser wrote:

But don't take the math too literally, jeez, I was just trying to make a tongue in cheek point.

Thick, solid and tight in all the right places.
Re: What is new in your little world?
0.001% of 7,000,000,000 is 70000, right?Eraser wrote:

Ikr, you should have followed up with how fuckin loaded you are, living the high life in London and then we'd have ourselves a typical q3w thread complete with geoff and what's his face that hates on gramps so much i think he's secretly gay.syp0s wrote:Hmm, I dunno broski, it felt like one of your usual attempts to tacitly point out how brilliant and knowledgable you are.Κracus wrote: I'm not downgrading his achievement which is amazing, I'm criticizing your statistical musings.

hey that is a very cool bit of kit you built there ax
are you going to build a flight case for it to travel and does it break down to smaller pieces? whats the story!
