definitely took over the internet for a year. now in 2023 they still haven't flown manned airspeeders they've built in Australia. Why haven't we seen more people build theses? I think i might put some thought into my next future build

Already tested powerloop?

What was their total thrust to weight ratio?

MrRed May 20, 2018

A150-10 motors are rated for 20lbs on the Hacker website. Even with 6, there's no way they could lift that much weight, right? Am I missing something? A200-8 seem more likely with 44lbs quad lift.

Would you take off on the thub if you had a fc flashed with betaflight RC1 on it ?

Maybe a paper-loop or toilet-roll?

P0operMcWank Jan 19, 2018

Thanks for suggestions but I finished mapping out the naming. The core constituents will be a powerloop and powerpoop. Then depending on the consistency at the time of execution, it could then be labelled a tootsie-roll or a swirled pudding plop. If it's fluffy, it will be a pastrami mommy. Don't ask, I don't understand that one either.

A guy like me would rather have a toilet, see what it feels like to be a sea gull. Look out below and rock on!

Jun 21, 2021

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class! Based on the popular Transformer Mini, the new Transformer 5" Ultralight adopts a lot of the same design philosophies with larger props and more payload capacity. It can fly upwards of 20 minutes on a 4 cell Li-Ion battery pack and in ideal conditions it's got a range of over 4 to 5 miles. In this guide I'll walk..

Build a DJI FPV Cinewhoop - QAV-CINE Freybott Edition

Mar 04, 2021

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
