Giant RC Air-Sled Thing | 4k

[@PeterSripol]

Nice! That was awesome and those upgrades seem to work a charm! (other than being a little flimsy) Make a bigger one and ride it! :D

[@samkelly2221]

Nice to see you here :D Maybe you could make something like this?

[@Felisargyle]

I saw your q and a and Sam was on your shutouts

[@youtubeguy3544]

PeterSripol lol just watched you 100,000 sub video and saw this on recommended

[@phantommedia9964]

you guys should collab!

[@broolympus5540]

When's your next video?

[@SammSheperd]

Still figuring out how to record audio without my normal voice over setup and getting comfortable on this side of the camera.. Also maybe I'll have a slow motion beverage making montage to start every video now haha

[@RealEngineering]

I really liked the more vlog style. Keep it up.

[@tristanmoller9498]

You should make a collab with Peter Sripol

[@babumohan4549]

what a great man you are?! no one can impressed me like you.rest in peace dear samm brother.i love you.

[@MindCrime550]

6:13 Non-scientists would see this as a failure, scientists would see that as a great success.

[@RCHeliJet]

Good Work Samm :) from Switzerland greetings Tom

[@whopperlover1772]

Wouldn't have noticed you were still getting comfortable in that side of the camera. M8, just talk to that camera like it's another RC enthusiast. Felt very natural! Nice job.

[@jeffbeck6501]

It is such a pleasure to see someone this intelligent just doing anything, but especially RC stuff. This guy makes such good videos, and has such good concepts to share, and he builds great stuff. ...but where would he be without his glue gun?

[@TheLpd1]

How do the rudder moves?

[@bobthebuilder8987]

when you made the video to teach about the basics of RC I thought that I should make a plane. the parts came 2 days ago and I finally finished it. it flies like a charm. Thank you so look much man. keep making videos :D

[@Humboldt710]

Now you know you need to make a full scale one like they use in the swamps!!! Great work.

[@MatiasHeinrich1]

Fun to watch this video. Would like to see the vertical stabs up close but I completely understand tossing out that hunk of material to make room.

[@BladeScraper]

Glad to see you bit the bullet on HobbyWing 130. Love those ESCs!

[@thenatedog]

that was cool. you planning on going to flitefest west?

[@greengoatman]

I am going :)

[@begaidalech5714]

Where did you buy that big engines, I haven't been able to find, please give me a link to the site from which you buy the motor for that particular video! Thank you in advance!

[@Authmion]

Can you fix the links for the ESC's? Thanks!

[@Sagetower7]

Absolutely awesome, thanks for sharing this project with us Samm.

[@whatnextjoe]

Really cool Samm, I really enjoyed your video. Glad to see your still tinkering and sharing. Thanks

[@hannesprobul3503]

Is that a morakniv at 6:33 :)

[@SammSheperd]

yes. Great for cutting foam

[@hannesprobul3503]

I love these knives, whenever I'm in sweden I buy myself a few :)

[@spectrexfpv]

u should've put a pair of support stick on the sides of the rudder, those that support the wing of cessna 172

[@moduleorml8584]

Whats your course?

[@newgreen956]

wow you really stepped up your video game!

[@puppooseman2118]

Great work Sam . Working on this side of the camera is good keep it up. Your videos are very informative and never boring. Trev from Australia.

[@wamplertube]

When I first saw this in my feed I thought it was a Peter Sirpol creation… LOL… Found out it wasn't, and I became subscriber 38,762. Excellent my friend have a great day.

[@arricat5e311]

I miss this channel.

[@Chank2000]

My dad liked your music. It was dope. This is so cool! A dogless sled!

[@SammSheperd]

+Chank2000 hey what’s up!!

[@FarmerFpv]

You need rear box rudders for low and high speed turning authority. Also the motor agle has to be dialed in to keep from the front from lifting at speed no downforce drag needed, Please Revisit it with box rudders. Will fly over the ground with so much more authority bro 🔥🤘

[@GavinRemme]

I LOVE these videos :D Great work. Cinematography is amazing also! (And can we just acknowledge the fact that you've got Peter and Real Engineering watching!?)

[@SammSheperd]

Thanks :) I talked with both those guys before they were bigger than me. Super glad they like still like to watch :) I also talk with Brady from Practical Engineering and the guy behind Learn Engineering sometimes

[@recommit]

Thought it was a coffee commercial at first ;-) Before retiring the sled, you should put a small skirt around the base with a scoop to use the prop wash as lift and make it into an rc hovercraft.

[@SammSheperd]

mmm coffeee. I have never made a hovercraft before I might have to try it. With no rudder or fins the sled stores just fine.

[@SammSheperd]

Jonathan just told me about how you saw him haha

[@NighthawkGliders]

That was pretty neat! I like the sleds and I'm enjoying your videos. Thank you! Keep enjoying flight and enjoying life, my friend!

[@youngpadawan7910]

What is that hoddy you wear? :D Looks cool

[@SammSheperd]

Hurley something. I'm not sure it was my Christmas present from my dad

[@imager09tube]

The build was correct. Just a structural failure( No big deal). Good job! Scaling the same thing in half would work perfectly!

[@chris_1337]

Great project, great drone footage (the Mavic is amazing).. keep up the great work Samm, your videos are awesome!

[@SuperMarcoArt]

You're so close to building a hovercraft! Put a skirt on that thing with a downward facing fan/redirect duct off the main thruster and you'll be able to ride it easily. Nice work!

[@SammSheperd]

maybe I'll make a ridable one out of plywood

[@SuperMarcoArt]

Samm Sheperd Yes please. Hovercraft in the snow is amazing.

[@FarmerFpv]

That's one big airhog!, Why aren't you posting as often anymore?

[@luckydubeinrc5165]

make that thing fly Sam, use the front wing you have put on for elevator and the sides for the rudder, let see it fly :)

[@Jbmauney3]

I love you sam rest in peace brother

[@luanz.9167]

Did you use an Mavic?

[@BenBelanger4]

See End of Video

[@luanz.9167]

Thank you.

[@RECK_Adventures]

ground effect vehicle! plz

[@C4illin]

Build a plane with that giant motor.

[@boomst1cks]

wow! awesome new video quality!

[@stephenhammond1656]

Samm love your vids. I was really enjoying the sled.sad that it was retired. would love to see how fast it could corner.good work mate very enjoyable.

[@musica8822]

Super, mil gracias por el video, voy a intentar hacerlo ya que vivo en Canadá y la mitad del tiempo hay ⛄ nieve

[@bcamlivebait]

well done. now for some stiffer materials. as for size. u should see my BCAM-AD-FW-FP90-1-B it takes an entire wall to its self to hang up and u have to take the outer thirds of the wings off via the QD's to even get it out of the house. 99.75" wing span, 9lbs with a 14lbs max TO. but its getting scrapped after 2 years of systems development to build the FP80-1-A and later there will be a FP120 or 150 in composites.

[@Enderkruemel]

make it whif two Motors

[@MrFatjonable]

I almost was sleeping and saw your video, no sleep anymore!

[@SammSheperd]

Good choice

[@saadqazi1629]

A personal question but can you please tell me that how much money you make from youtube in a month?

[@SammSheperd]

Like most people I won't give you a straight answer. But I will say it changes all the time. My monthly revenue this last 28 days is just 1/6 what it was a few months ago. It normally works out to be about $1 per 1000 views, however right now it seems to be just $.69 per 1000

[@saadqazi1629]

Thank u for your reply.. Btw how much can anyone make in a month having 4 videos and about 20000-50000 on each video.. Any rough idea?

[@saadqazi1629]

20000-50000 views*

[@SammSheperd]

Well applying the simple relationship above of $1 per 1000 thats $20-$50 per video

[@piercebrindley4840]

Yay I love sailing my dad is the head sailing coach at odu and the prez of icsa

[@renzevenir4853]

Omg, the price of the ESC tho :o

[@SammSheperd]

+IRFZ44 and the motors and the batteries it's all crazy

[@timmontanus4311]

How much for the ESC?

[@renzevenir4853]

$290 ;-)

[@timmontanus4311]

:o

[@rocketrocks836]

hey buddy, I 've seen you before, you told a joke about space

[@covodex516]

why didn't you take like a PVC childrens sled (low weight but sturdy) and mounted the System on that; the Motor should be powerful enough to drive yourself around with it.

[@MyBigThing2010]

Would've been way more "interesting" if you strapped that Morakniv to the nose of the vehicle while testing HAHAHA

[@DallusDaPwnage]

Any chance on more stuff like the engineered wing build?

[@SammSheperd]

That was 2 years ago, I'm not an engineer and I'm out of college so unless some engineers wanna bring me aboard a project I don't think I'll be doing something that technical by myself.

[@gamingguard1an167]

Hey Samm, I've been watching your videos over the past month and you have really inspired me to make my own RC-Airplane and learn more about air travel in general. I'm a 14 year old kid from PA who happens to lead the 'Engineering and Science Club' at my school. We do mini projects from infinity mirrors to potato guns with the money we get provided from either our school or kind donors who've heard of our program. I've wanted to introduce a project I call 'The RC Italian Battalion', which is just to make a few working RC-Airplanes decorated as if they were from WWI. But I don't know how rutters, wing to body ratio, or turbines work or how to use them; and how am I to teach if I don't know the material? Do you think you can do me a favor? By explaining those few things to me? I'd really appreciate it :)

[@samhuhta6077]

I have the same bike mount on my truck 🖒

[@LA6UOA]

Lol! Great fun and video quality! Keep it up!

[@maxmorgan2297]

Hi Sam. really like your projekts, i use to build some small iceboats with sails on. Its fast and funny with speeds close to 100kmh. Buuut what if i cut the mast and put a motor setup a la yours on. That could maybe be a lot of fun, they have minimal friktion (3 skates). so the speed should not be a problem:). would also love to see you try it out. Best regards and have fun :) MaxDK.

[@rcpi9336]

You don't even know how happy I get when I see one of your new videos in my recommended tab!! I'm really liking the vlog style, keep them coming. Also really nice to see some other favorites of mine in the comments @PeterSripol @Real Engineering Do you have a bicopter in your plans for new videos? Thanks again for the great videos, Cheers!

[@SammSheperd]

+RC pi comments like yours motivate me to keep creating! Thanks! For the bicopter, I haven't worked on that at all. Even if built and tuned correctly they are pretty limited. But you never know I might get a rush of motivation to do it

[@arj8404]

add spoiler

[@Felisargyle]

I think that drone shot needed a little more sky.

[@SammSheperd]

+Christian Wang are just figuring out how to use it :) thanks for the suggestion

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

come down to louisiana and try an air boat ahahhaa

[@SammSheperd]

The way the haul is able to lean and grip the water is quite a bit different. But airboats are neat :)

[@Lagggerengineering]

Now just to make a ridable one!

[@ayuminor]

Don't care much for the cinematic stuff, but cool projects, keep 'em coming :]

[@SammSheperd]

I find a short montage of B-roll is a fun and effective way to communicate a mood or feeling or a sense of setting or context. A supplement to the limited primary footage that I collected or the excessive amounts useless assembly footage.

[@ChrisCorbettFPV]

Yeah I'm a sucker for some cinematic footy - I like the new format too :)

[@KrAusIdckid]

you should turn this into an airplane

[@SammSheperd]

It was an airplane and then I turned it into this

[@Duboyrc]

Muy divertido gracias

[@wearygood1559]

Instead of having a ugly down-force generator you could have made the entire bottom sheet of foam into a giant airfoil with its lift facing to the floor

[@SammSheperd]

That’s not really how that works.. lift has to do with angle of attack. The shape of the wing is not fundamentally important

[@ronirc]

hei sammmm espetacular ai building mirage 2000 in depron 1,30 x0 90 cm

[@philwildemann8369]

You honestly need to patent this and make a snow version of a land surfer. The operator could control the "wings" like a hangglider. Not sure if anything can create the force necessary but it's worth looking at.. just sayin'. Lastly, if you aren't making enough on KZbin start a stream, take donations, or maybe take bounties to do someone else's idea. You seem to love this stuff so why not make more and keep it up.

[@tabithaburnett1035]

coooooooooool

[@Voltmander]

Liked and subbed :)

[@maellamart8757]

salut je suis français. ...

[@emersonb5764]

Bangood stuff isn’t high quality. Lol. It’s cheap generic stuff. If you want a high quality ESC get a Kontronik.

[@calebsherman886]

Nate R. Year old video.

[@axelteboul2676]

awesome...first btw ; )

[@SammSheperd]

Confirmed, way to go
