Multirotor solution for Water Plane Reversing

[@thelennipede9382]

YESSSSSS. David is back, not doing rocket knife. Hey David, if you're reading this, I want you to know something. Thanks for coming back. I felt like when you went all rocket knife all you were going to do was random clickbait stuff. It all good and that doing it every so often, but it got over-saturated. Thanks for coming back. :)

[@charliedoubl]

This brought back the FT old days:) good to see you again:)

[@supergreg72]

Hi Dave! I was a big fan of your work back in the good flite test days. When you left, FT lost its soul and lost me as a fan. This video is the kind of brilliant work I liked the most about you. I watched it twice and now I plan to convert my Sea Duck with twin reversing blheli-s esc's. You're inspiring!

Thanks for the kind words Greg!

[@supergreg72]

Oh I forgot to mention I never missed an after hour podcast when you were on. Always so much smart things to learn 👍🏻

[@cine_motard]

Yess, I missed videos like this, especially with David! More please!! :D

[@Justin-id8sz]

Matthijs Jordense plz more, we miss you david

[@BrOv3rlord]

This is the content I enjoy from this channel. Thanks David!

[@angelreading5098]

Grerat to see you back again David in your own right doing the things that you do best.

[@aslob9321]

Wow, didn’t realize how much I missed David! Awesome idea and great video, keep them coming.

[@derrogers]

Feeled like flitetest! More plz!

[@Titanfinger]

Yes and he worked already for Flitest a couple Years ago ;)

[@derrogers]

Titanfinger nooooo way. Are u sure?

[@nexisssss]

go look at the old flitetest videos :D you'll love them :D

[@derrogers]

nexisssss I know. David was the reason I changed my mind about rc Hobby...

[@southjerseysound7340]

Flitetest has changed so much since he left. When he was there it was fun. But these days it seems really scripted and forced/faked. I like what they've done for RC . But the channel has gone down hill since Dave left ,after Peter left I just stopped watching

[@jchestnuts]

The plane needs a matching beard:) Very good video. I appreciate the tips about the vice, the spray bottle, the waterproofing with grease and liquid tape, the difference in ESC's, and the reversing. Thank you. Also, nice pond.

[@Stensar69]

I would like to see what would happen if you reversed it in midflight. I hope it doesn't push the motor through nose or something horrific.

[@NETBotic]

I did it on a delta wing as a brake, its fun.

[@ram25O0]

Or right when you land to act as brakes

[@olliea6052]

On xjets channel it happened. Full Throttle Tim did it for lols.

[@natange1436]

I think the torque from the prop would roll the plane violently

[@shaneellasdaicastrestorati3675]

Yep definitely midair reverse, good to see you back David hope all is well.

[@yz250edub]

Great video! The reversing ESC is a great idea. I so wanted you to reverse it in mid air! The best thing about flying off the water are touch-n-go's!

[@Qromer]

This is great! Do more of these videos. I love the simple context that you explain the use of the ESC and the flight control as a built in BEC. This stuff is great.

[@paulriggs42]

Mid-flight reversing is essential ! Great to see how you waterproofed everything !

[@gregbernal3237]

glad to see you are back on the internet

[@michaelupton4178]

Nice to see you flying and improving fixed wing again

[@Project-Air]

Such a great video! Don't know why I didn't get round to seeing this until now. It was great meeting you and hanging out at Flite Fest though! I just wished I had got that old Vampire of yours fixed up. :)

[@WarChest]

Loved watching you on flite test, glad to have found your actual channel now!

[@soliv27]

Very cool tutorial, very interesting tricks and techniques very precious. Better than a bunch of rc magazines ! Wish I had a teacher like you as a young craftboy, information was difficult to find. Nothing like a club if there is one near your house, and if there is good teachers, good vibes.. otherwise videos like this are precious, small tasks not so spectacular but it's like music, step by step that makes a craftman. And you achieve making it without hysteria or death metal background, that's cool to watch, thanks. Hoping to see many more.

[@ShawnTheSilentLurkerKerr]

2:50 I have an identical vice and totally agree, everyone needs one.

[@GiacoWhatever]

Fantastic! Such an enjoyable video this is!

[@fmgough]

Diggin' the Wall-o-Funions behind you at the end.

[@Dan-un4vt]

Tip Hobby King ,, makes a Very good Reversing ESC !! I use them many times works Great!! AeroStar RVS

[@warpman74]

Yes yes, mid air reverse, because, you know, how else will we know what happens?! I feel it's very important that this is fully researched!

[@raymondkoonce5827]

Hello, David. I just tripped over this video and was glad to see you again. Your presence on FT has been missed. I must be late. I see you have 111 thousand subscribers already. Oh, and you have no reason to remember me. I mostly just watch. Welcome back.

I remember you Raymond 🙂

[@djDTOUR]

When do we get a proper soaring lesson? That Radian hanging in the back was such a teaser!

It's a coming

[@iscluiscaduk]

Great to see you again David! More projects!

[@sandeepm714]

Awesome.... happy to see you back with planes!!! Could you try making an episode to have a heli head assembly for a plane's propulsion..... That way we can have awesome thrust vectoring

I like it!

[@properlytwisted2172]

AWESOME!! while the rocket vids are fun..these are much more...funner..lol Looks like a great trainer as well,I have a Super Cub I can't wait to learn on with floats..:)

[@Philberton]

Reverse in midair was exactly what I was thinking. Be cool to see how little space you can land in. Or for combat purposes, like the Harrier.

[@alexyt4434]

You just made my day when I saw that Radian in the background

Can't wait to do the episode on it :)

[@jo21e6]

I like this kind of videos!😊😊😊

[@MrSilverback62]

I have a sudden hunger for a salty snack in a yellow bag. Nothing like a little subliminal advertising. I love capitalism. Keep up the good work, David!

[@jagman_singh]

Sweet finally some model airplanes

[@Rcschim]

Awesome! David is back. I’d love to see more like this. I have the multiplex funcup with floats. This makes me wanna mod it now:) The beard adds a lot to your videos btw. One day you will look like Kent Diderickson ;) Greets, Rcschim

[@toddmoon602]

I know it was a very complicated and detailed construction video. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see the next idea. Tho I do miss seeing rocket sled ideas... google rocket sled and David Windestal

[@RCShufty]

That beard is so majestic David!

[@joshuawfinn]

So much fun. The stall characterstics on that model look a bit sketchy though...similar to my Icon. And yet it's still fun because floats. So tell me about that sweet looking DLG at the end!

[@greavous93]

Good to see you are still kicking!

Karate!

[@averagejoe6031]

I remember way way back when you uploaded the video of you flying that for like the first time. Man that was ages ago.

[@anthonylong601]

Thanks David. Very informative. Any chance you can add a parts list including software so us old guys can try it at home please ?

[@Bengt.Lueers]

Bonus points if you make it use its tailplanes as canards in reverse.

[@revd13]

Excellent mod. also thumbs up for the Ducktales the video game music.

[@ChappysGarage]

Yup, you read my mind. Try reversing in mid flight!

[@trnnesseeMAGA]

I like the Fumyum rack. Great job

[@phantm24]

It's official.....more videos like this thanks David, loved it .

[@rmdcade1717]

Yeah, I'd be interested in seeing some mid-flight switch action.

[@BMSWEB]

Freaking awesome!! Could do with so much more of David Windestal Videos :D

Cheers Paul :D

[@natange1436]

Awsome float plane! Maybe reverse your rudder in the reserved esc mix.

[@MrBladebloke]

Another great video, I’d definitely like to se you reverse the motor in flight.

[@TheFunkadelicFan]

I was waiting for you to do the swim of shame!

[@L1CKMYBA11Z]

Same Vice is available from Lidl in the UK

[@Fur8002]

A flier in one of the videos by Bruce of XJET or RCModel Reviews did reverse his plane. I can't remember which video this was, but it earlier this year or late last year.

[@goeland86]

Yes please, midair reversal! I wanna see what it does, I've got exactly that plane with floats on too.

[@danielkrogh9748]

welcome back been a while

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

very nice!

[@ShreddinSleds]

Holy cow I haven’t watched in a while. Wicked beard bro!

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

ahaha well done.. great cameraman comments.. reverse in air sounds fun

[@pauljs75]

It's been a while... Didn't recognize him at first with the epic beard. And nice work on the plane. :)

[@raphaeldapzol4385]

Yeeeeeah you're back! We missed you

[@dogsarebest7107]

Hah, good call on the comment section David. I was waiting for a mid-air reverse clip and honestly was disappointed when it didn't happen (heh).

[@CPurdiePlays]

I have the same bench vise. Very cheap but super helpful.

[@hateeternalmaver]

That somehow was very mesmerizing to watch.

[@g_a_b_r_i_e_l_]

Will you ever do another video with Flite Test?

[@Redneck5]

David is back!! :D Reversing plane would be epic.. ;) ps Wwh all the funions on the wall with the glider?

[@ibnjmn]

Apparently I'm the only one, but I'd like to see you remove epoxy from a PCB! Oh yeah, and reverse power in flight. :-) And soaring lessons with that DLG!

[@mylesspear]

It’s hard to concentrate on the build with David’s impressive beard.

[@MATTB-rd1us]

Great video and that beard is mighty....

[@jamesyoungblood555]

Outstanding video, looks like your having fun. Cool looking beard you've added. Shalom

[@samwickham4236]

I love your RC stuff!

[@AndrewFlyGuy]

YES. Reverse mid-air video please :)

[@DCSCustomFab]

Kickass beard man! Iv only seen you from flitetest haha great video!

[@JaredReabow]

love to see reverse motor in flight and on short landing

[@MyBrotherInYahusha]

That beard is on point!

[@esquimoxpi739]

Going to have to show this to a nephew my niece "acquired" a few years back, . . . maybe he might decide to "throw over" the Academic Grind at our little cow-town University, and start educating folks via KZbin. (Quicker and cheaper, than the Traditional Way. {When done with Skill and Verve; the way it is done here.})

[@StefanViereggMA]

Hi David, thanks for your lesson. I will try it soon as possible. You don't get damages with the epoxid? Heat? An ESC for Quadcopter won't work?

[@goober24787]

Great video bro! I need to see this used as a airbrake!!! Its the flitetest way:)

[@blancsteve4819]

Will the grease freeze in the cold ? Cannardly wait for the reverse prop.

It will probably become more viscous and bind up the servo. We will see this winter :)

[@ThePurplePupUwU]

David i havent seen you at flite test where are you

[@fredraketfpv]

Great video maybe make a plane with music on the esc whit the final Countdown on it and do some mid air reverse at the same time :)

[@b4566bb]

I enjoyed as always David!!

[@Ww-iv3fs]

hi, the part with the fett is very interesting for the gearbox, but for the electronics did u ever try WP100? i think its called wet protect 100 or similar. i put it in my RC Car electronics and went through deep puddles, like drowning it a few times and it worked well :) might me a bit sticky for the gear, so i like the fett ( same as in germany hehe)

[@WinstonSmith1984]

Try STOL landings with reverse throttle just as you flare.

[@DerUhu219]

A Minimag, what a great plane. After this video I think I'll restore mine too to flight condition

Post pictures

[@scottfirman]

corrosionx eventually gums up the servos,I found that out on my Apprentice. Its hard on foam too after a while. The stnk can make the wife complain. Its best to flush the corrosion x out if possible before storing or plan on changing the servo anyways.I did my last pontoon servos on my Apprentice pontoon and the water still got in and killed the rudder servo.

[@FatGuyFliesRC]

Loved the video, keep them coming!!!!

[@yayathidayat6678]

In a long run. Is it going to break something?

[@Toaster808]

Hey David. Are you heading out to Ohio for Flite Fest this year? I know there were a few people trying to raise money to buy you a ticket to come on over.

Yes indeed I will 👍

[@engineerahmed7248]

How about using HOT GLUE FROM GLUE GUN AS SEALANT instead of epoxy ? as it can be peeled of easy

[@giuliod5017]

The good old minimag....

[@0309wolverin]

Good one dave!

[@grumpyjohntxredneckrc6346]

Wonderful David! LOL 😉 Thanks!

[@angleofattack5942]

Why you not use conformal coating? It dries faster and is so much cleaner

Agreed. It's not made for prolonged submersion though. Usually around 30 minutes spect. But on the other hand. If you can't get to the plane in 30 minutes you're pretty lazy :D

[@err_kk]

Did I spot a Funyuns wall? David, you're due for a multirotor fpv video. Rocket Swede!!

[@mixblast1]

I want to see that red/black DLG flying ;)

[@noFPSS]

can you please do rc tank battle 3 i have bine waiting for years for you to do it

[@Timsfpvshow]

yes!! thanks for sharing this great video brother

[@call911forcookies2]

haha the beard looks good, it's been a while since i've seen you!

[@jensonphil7350]

Hello. reverse esc work without fc ? as like boat and car

[@bradbechlyb9273]

Love the beard, if it wasn't for your voice I wouldn't have recognized you. Mount rockets to the pontoons
