Everyone's Childhood Dream... Flying their LEGO's

[@dogswhistlesharam9029]

Hi, I actually work for Lego as a Lego tech designer, my job is to animate Lego for theme parks and also I am a CAA qualified drone pilot . Tip for the day, best not use CA glue, we use Liquid MEK to glue Lego together, it then sets like concrete and doesn’t go white like CA does. Looking forward to your next Lego build?

[@FliteTest]

That’s awesome! Thanks for the tip friend! ;) lego for the win! ;)

[@RCinginSC]

If by MEK , you mean methyl ethyl ketone, then I will stick with CA. Without listing all the issues with mek , it's kind of nasty stuff, and certainly nothing you want children around. Where I work banned it from being used several years ago due to it's health risk. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[@mikeupton5406]

Lego and Flite Test. This needs to be done.

[@Fishdogfish]

@@RCinginSC MEK gave me the worst headache ever when working with fiberglass. Felt like my head was exploding.

[@rasheedgregory3459]

Hey...if you work for lego you should pitch the idea of combining lego and rc drones for the older lego fans. As a child growing up i used to take the motor out of a walkman and rig it to my lego's to make a helicopter with a spinning main rotor. To combine a childhood toy and a hobby im just starting to get into would be awsome. Lego really should make this a thing.

[@Gouranga_Man]

My son got this kit on Christmas day. Once we had finished building it, the first thing I said to him was. "We could make this fly", glad to see I wasn't alone in thinking this.

[@derMusicSlasher]

This is so awesome! Honestly who didn't want to see their legos fly at some point in their life! So cool! The next step would be to build a Lego plane, maybe out of Lego Technic pieces and with laminated style wings but instead of the laminating material you use foam board! I'd love to see that ;)

[@brodyjohnston9115]

Next, make a LEGO plane fly! I know you guys can do it...

[@thecaptainnoodles]

bubbies84 bubbies84 go see peter sripols channel

[@dustinhanlin]

So gratifying. I didn't doubt you'd be able to get it to fly. I was only concerned it wouldn't look anything like the original kit (like the box fan drone) or that it wouldn't really perform. Like, technically it flies but not really well. So glad to see those concerns were unfounded. You guys nailed it!

[@codybaker6423]

from a lego enthusiast nubby things => studs lego power => clutch power really cool seein legos fly, you guys should try to do some of the planes

[@OH8STN]

Okay guys this just went over the top. I think this build is my favorite or at least tied with the A-10 and flying tank. Outstanding video and absolutely inspirational. Thanks for sharing, this was great!

[@stevefox3763]

Would be great to see other lego aircraft fly but I feel planes are too heavy and dint have the aerodynamic properties to fly and the same goes for helis too but it would be good to see you try it, if anyone can succeed it you guys

[@seanfoster671]

Brings a whole new dynamic to Lego play. Lego City fully RC would be awesome. I personally would glue most of it together with the exception of any parts that need to come off for electronic access.

[@hooptydoo417]

Didn’t Peter Sripol make a plane out of LEGO least year? That’s ok. This one looked cooler. Although I would have liked to see the crash site.

[@mcdoctorglock]

Yes, we need areal footage of the carnage! I wonder if he recovered all the pieces for a full NTSB reconstruction?

[@scientificbhaiya9336]

Make a fastest racing quad with Lego buggati Chiron. 😎

[@tananam9782]

Sripol made a fixed wing plane, and tried only to use the friction fit of the Lego blocks to hold it together. Both conditions posed very different challenges than what were found with this quad copter design. Not least: without a great deal of additional weight, It's difficult to imagine making an airfoil with Lego blocks. Even so, that airfoil would be hopelessly inefficient. With only Newtonian physics available, lifting capacity is greatly reduced. It would be roughly analogous to insisting that this quad be lifted with the model propellers supplied with the kit, rather than retro-fitting a set of Gremlin props. I doubt very much it would have flown without that part swap.

[@m4vr1ck]

Yes I was waiting for him to say kragle and play everything is awesome. You sir get my seal of approval.

[@noahjamestech]

You should do the Lego Technic Heavy Lift Helicopter! It has a ton of inside room and there's two different models!

You know you've grown up right when you immediately search for ways to anchor the Lego motor mount without glue and SUCCEED! The trick is to use side-mounting pieces next to each other so you can effectively created a wrap-around structure.
