You and me both!

9:52 was awesome...loads of momentum

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

That sneaky through-the-fence while chasing Dane on the board..... Day-Am..... Can see this being popular in action films. Shen Drones needs a mod for this to handle Zero-G for the crew to take with Tom Cruise to the ISS.

[@DrMacca]

I literally laughed out. 🤣

[@haasfpv1222]

Ohhhhh man! That octo is impressive! It is locked in for sure! Sweet location also, I work for Fishers 😉! You should reachout to the city, I almost guarantee they would hire you for footage.

The flight footage at the end was amazing. It could’ve been a commercial for the boards.

Being new to the DIY side of drones, I have such a huge appreciation for your guys' skill. Brilliant little quad.

Im in 2024 watching this again and hoping to see more content like that in the next years 😁

Hysterical lol, when that thing launched off your drive way haha, good work!!!

[@MrJasonodonnell]

Ive skated over a number of decades..... When I see people on electric boards they always look gammy, have crapy balance, and treat improving as a afterthought, but this bloke looks like hes on top of things, that was good to see.

[@NURKFPV]

He used to do a lot of downhill long boarding from what I understand, so I'm sure that is carrying over nicely.

[@Chilternflyer]

Oh man. That footage at the end. Amaaazing!

[@nathanhunter9891]

You weren't kidding when you said you had a crazy 3 inch coming. So sweet! Do you know when Newbeedrone is supposed to come out with those motors?

I do not know - hopefully soon!

[@sxdev]

That little guy rips, it´s really awesome, love how active you´re right now on yt, awesome to watch You´re using the DJI System quite frequently now, I really want to try it but not sure if I want to invest that much or "just" upgrade my v3s after almost 4 years and just get some HDO´s maybe that´ll do it for me, I´m so used to analogue and really into tight and fast proximity stuff with lots of trees, so variable latency would be a real issue. Not sure if there isn´t something new coming next year which might resolve some of the version 1 issues.

[@NURKFPV]

Doing my best to keep the content rolling out! The DJI system is pretty freaking legit - if you're thinking about switching it up, I highly recommend..

thanks for reminding why I fly fpv

[@mcronfpv8736]

Awesome video, thanks Nurk. Andy killed it again, that baseplate for the second motor is pure genius. I'm super impressed by the flight characteristics too. It's like there's 4 motor for the quad itself, and another four for the gopro haha. Clearly not a daily driver though, imagine abusing it through freestyle : Maintenance would be aweful :D

[@tyronepullan6624]

always making great contents. thanks Nurk!

[@Burn377]

What a wicked little rig! We need everyone to jump up and down to get insta360 to add the ability to have unlocked horizon support for the 360go!

[@christopherj3367]

strange build, tip for your friend on flying, as a newbie myself - is to forget how other RC's work and to think of the drone moving by air blowing underneath and for turning its blowing air in the opposite direction to the direction you want to go. I know for most people are like "duh" obviously but for a newbie this helped me get my head around flying.

[@hk-aerialvtol4371]

I got mine! I got mine! Now hopefully Piro can get some more 1408's in...

[@CorrexPoE]

[@Rick-ck8ei]

Try flying it in 3D and report back. If you use directional props flip the bottom ones, so it will have the same thrust while inverted (but still counter rotate with the one above).

[@TheCiardellas]

Cool build!

[@jaredgarcia5494]

Okay Someone I have a question I can't exactly wrap my head around. So I'm building a tricopter but with motors on top and bottom of the arms (inverted). Essentially 6 motors. If I run 6 seperate esc's, can I hook up two esc's to one bat and ground on a PDB (high output pdb) and use the same signal wire for the two esc's and motors? Then program the esc individually with motor direction. I'm assuming the two motors can be treated as one unit as the both will provide propulsion just ones upside down. Please correct me if I'm wrong or if there is a better way. Thanks

[@WKfpv]

Quarantine gets you all creative. I'm loving this content

[@lachlanthomas4179]

I always wondered if mounting the motors like that would work. Looks awesome!

[@NURKFPV]

Very very well.

[@brennanlarnder7692]

woah i need one! that is exactly what i want!

they make carbon fiber prop guards for it.. for a lil safety indoors

[@Quadcopterguide]

sweet build. .and i have to say, love the dogs and the house! Nice man! Loved the expression of your buddy trying FPV and then HD for the first time. haha love it. Part of the reason i love your content is you are a bit like me, you love that filmic, "cinematic" ugh that word again, side of things. fantastic stuff man.

[@garethlloyd1815]

Amazing video. But but but... That charge station! Do you have a video on it? It looks rad as hell.

[@NURKFPV]

Yes I do - like 10 videos back

[@leflamantrosefpv1725]

perfect ;) but the motors are like the t motor no? gooooood build! (and fly like a charm ;) ..) and sounds amazing ;)

[@devinholland2189]

With the extra power it might be able to carry a full size 360 cam or a stereo/3d gopro set.

[@andrewsmith8092]

Nurk, Great video and it would be cool if the extra motors could provide in flight recovery if you lose a motor. Would it be possible to configure that option in beta flight?

[@slavikarg]

If you cross your Dji antennas you will probably be able to install the stands and flex the antennas around them

[@HellaCopter]

Dudes reaction was great lol

[@NURKFPV]

Dane is great.

[@ridinglikearussian5945]

So cute! Make it 2.5 inch flat octo

[@Bigbeardfpv]

Question out to Future Nurk - would you still use 1507s if you rebuilt this? Would you have gone down to say 14xx stator or maybe wider and less tall? Im thinking about trying 1804.5s for more stability knowing i have a little less top end

[@leo_fpv5711]

You could make a switch where you can switch between 4 motors and 8 motors, so you can fly better like a cine whoop and then like a 5” kwad 👍

[@cs-xd9gy]

Nurk, do you have a weight without the pack? Looks sweet. How did those newbee motors hold up?

[@Xplicit_fpv]

Sooo amazing! Great job!

[@shadial7808]

Hi, do you have a copy of the full build video. The original, not sped up? Thank you!

[@divingfalconfpv4602]

Now that it winter getting around to probably building this. Instead of terraplane. More powerful squirt without being wider. Thinking 2203.5 motors. But trying to find prop guards (I don't have 3d printer.) Figure go from stand off around to screw holding motor plates on then around to back. To fly indoors.

[@sampost83]

You can use 3 inch prop guard with a 2.5 inch props

[@jaye2567]

Any guess on the flight time? This thing is sick!!!

[@NURKFPV]

right around the same amount of time as a 5"

[@exactofpv1744]

great work!

[@NURKFPV]

Thanks a lot!

[@turbo_waffle]

I just got my frame I can’t wait to start building! Should I get 1408, or 1507’s? Does it even matter? Probably just use my 1300mah 6’s. Thinking of trying a dual GoPro setup since it looks like it can handle a payload.

[@apollo9x19]

ive noticed this with almost every drone video, but why does the shadow of the drone on the ground have this bright halo around it? is that from post processing the video?

[@MANTA_FPV]

Maidens it right obove his Mercedes 😄👍🏻 Man do your neighbors still like you with all that drone noise going on? 😄

Did they ever release the 20x20 version of this fc? or is the 37x37mm a 20x20 mount?

Hey Nurk, I bought a set of NewBeeDrone FLOW 1408 Racing and Freestyle FPV Micro Motor 2350KV - T Mount motors to do this build and was wondering if you could recommend props for these motors. The shafts aren’t threaded on these motors.

So smood!!

What pololu did you use? Wired between the air unit and fc?

Was this drone easier to tune than the thicc? Very nice video!!

[@NURKFPV]

honestly much easier

[@vtguy234]

Nurk I'm looking to do a build with an air unit that I have. I already have a 5 inch with air unit, I was considering building a Squirt like yours. Would you suggest doing this build or a Squirt? Or should I look at something else?

[@NURKFPV]
