Nice Video! I like how it shows a lot of the intermediate fabrication steps. Most consumers don't understand the labor and skill required to make certain products, and this video certainly helps with that.

I was wondering if it was going to be a VTOL or just a drone with wings. Was nice to see that they cut the lift motors for forward flight.

Que perfección... Digno de admirar!! ❤

Me encanta¡¡ un video muy demostrativo de la calidad de contruccion de los droenes

[@knutbergan]

Great video, and build looks like very high quality. Brought back some memories from my earlier days doing RC model aircrafts.

[@MarkJ-hh9oy]

Awesome these guys really know what their doing

[@nickj2508]

These guys take their time and do a good job. I was surprised/impressed to see at all of the Carbon fiber inner structure. The videography and video length is just right for me, more please.

[@robert5]

I think that inner structure was needed to mount and secure the electronics and controls systems and perhaps the batteries.

[@drgeoffangel5422]

Excellent drone design and manufacturde and flight. This company really knows what its doing, and has some amazing engineers ! Well done!!

[@DinosRcModels]

I recognize all the actions carried out in the procedure...some even done in a somewhat rough manner although with a satisfactory result..

[@SimonTyler_humanfly]

This was a fascinating video and I really appreciate you sharing it. It would be very nice to see the employees wearing quality respirators when painting

[@lordhexon]

Yes, but they have some what decent ventilation vacuum system.

[@williamhoughtaling1602]

That is a waterfall filtration system. No fumes at the painting area and the water catches the paint overspray.

[@danielkemp4860]

They're worried about c0vid, not resin fumes 🤣

[@sicks6six]

I sprayed Cellulose coatings on pipe coverings for the petrochemical industry and we used waterfall filters and didn't need a mask, waterfall filtration systems remove 100% of all airborne particles from the air, in this booth all the walls and ceiling are extractors and air is drawn through a waterfall which is the full length of the walls and six foot high, very impressive filters, the paper mask is common in china for everyone to wear all the time, they had a huge problem with TB and the government ordered every school kid, shop worker and public employee etc to wear them in an effort to help eradicate the TB virus,. PS it's a fantastic machine don't you think. . . .

Those blue masks look very efficient at stopping small particles from entering their lungs.

I guess they are even more effective than the invisble gloves and the transparent painting garments.

[@Ph4nToMfr]

I flown this kind of airframe with ardupilot (pixhawk though)

[@darrenpferdehirt]

30.5 x 30.5 on the Holybro Kakute F7, and supports both Betaflight and Ardupilot. I have one on an Iflight XL10 running BF, if I want to torture myself again, I'd switch it to Ardupilot and relearn what I've forgotten. Probably won't though. Lol...

[@abcdefg4570]

Very nice! As I've already mastered everything else required to build one of these, I now just need a vacuum bagging system. Making the molds is a pain, though. My current method of constructing UAVs is laminating hotwire cut polyurethane foam with fiberglass and epoxy resin.

[@tyyamnitz8408]

What kind of UAVs do you build?

[@abcdefg4570]

@@tyyamnitz8408 ~2m wingspan long-range UAVs for ultra long-range missions. It's mainly for fun, just to take beautuful video and enjoy the views and flying anywhere. It's an incredible feeling of freedom. Designing and building the UAVs and configuring the GCS equipment is half the fun too.

[@tyyamnitz8408]

@@abcdefg4570 that is so epic. I’ve started the process of making my own as well because I have all access to my university’s labs and hacker spaces but this will be my first aerospace project so I don’t know where to begin. Do you mind sharing your design process that takes place before you even start with construction? Do you design the uav in OpenVSP or some other software? Or do you just use pen and paper

[@aerbon]

i don't think flying cars are coming in the near future. it's not that we can't make them, it's that the idea itself makes no sense when you look into it.

Молодці! Гарний результат!

[@someguydino6770]

thank you; this looks like a "state of the art" shop. Nice to see "natures composite" (the plywood) combined with a thin layer of carbon fiber in a sandwich material! (Now if we could teach trees to grow the intricate shapes that we wanted!) This craft is still performed mostly by hand by skilled people. Gotta appreciate the "sushi chef like skills" that are required to trim the finished pieces after removal from the molds. 15:08 I'd never seen that water bath spray booth process before; but it makes sense that it would be REALLY good for dust/ overspray particulate control. Everyday; the dumpsters are going to be FULL of all of the the high tech consumable materials that are necessary for these processes. Looks like YANGDA and FOXTECH are direct competitors?

[@AlfDavidFjeld]

fantastic work guys! but as someone that has worked a car t bodyrepair and painting, you should really invest in better breading protection. using so little as you do, you will end up with lungproblems after a while. it costs a bit more, but it is better to invest in the good equipment, and stay healthy for longer, this pays of both for the workers, and the company you work for, there will be less days of sick, and the company can keep good workers with special experience for longer.

[@ioannisbatas1614]

Superb !!!

[@alexmcmeekin2658]

Nice production work. However..... not enough glove or proper facemask usage! Different countries and different standards I guess? Handling mixed resin on a daily basis even if just a smear on the fingertips is a bad idea long-term and if there's a tendency for dermatitis it's accelerate it massively! Paint shop had a nice water shield booth but those guys should have had appropriate masks, not just simple covid/surgical ones.

[@Tony-.]

Perhaps the fans are installed not for cooling, but more for ventilation. If the air flow is good, the damage is reduced, but not eliminated.

[@giuseppe4909]

And now you see why they can make things for less money… (not to mention the much lower wages paid)

做的非常不错

[@mrjoepietube]

simple and reliable seperate fixed motors for drone mode and plane mode. slight drag and weight penalty. however the drag penalty could be easy reduced bij proper lining up the props. bldc motors can be stept bij software like a kind of crude stepping motor.

[@billfromgermany]

I was absolutely astounded by the craftsmanship of the workers. Applying beads of glue as if from an industrial robot.

[@MarshallMcFarlin]

This video is greatly appreciated It has inspired me to do more as I never considered using my laser to cut air frame components or the tools so they can be made from hydro formed aluminum or vacuum formed ABS or Carbon fiber tow. I have never considered using a heater in a closet or closed off room as an oven to speed up curing. 😅 Brilliant. Well done.

[@Willy_Tepes]

I have used a heater in a closed off room before, but only in relation to sugar fermentation and plants ;) What is sorely lacking in this workshop is a spot ventilation system and proper breathing protection. Those guys are going to lose half of their brain cells before they hit 40.

trabalho perfeito mas precisa usar a epi corretamente.

[@mikeb5556]

Very nice. Good video. Just one thing ... a little better extraction and masks in the paint booth - your lungs will thank you.

[@atrumluminarium]

Would be cool to have the "lift" propellors rotate forwards to contribute to the thrust in forward flight rather than just have them be dead weight and extra drag.

[@drgeoffangel5422]

Yes thats the ideal design configuration and then you dont need the tail pusher propeller. There are drones that do this already!

[@KevinATJumpWorks]

It's about complexity. You can have a tilt motor mechanism, but it adds a lot of weight and many moving parts. Also, you would probably need a variable pitch propeller to account for the differences in air velocity between hover and cruise, which again adds more weight and complexity. I agree that, tilt-wings in particular, are the most elegant solution, but they are very difficult to get right.

[@rjward1775]

Below X size, the mass penalty for this is probably lower.

[@Ph4nToMfr]

Fixed vertical motor is far more simple and reliable too

[@deadcxap755]

@@KevinATJumpWorks Why variable propeller pitch?!?! The force is regulated by engine speed. This is not an internal combustion engine, electric motors perfectly and quickly control the speed of revolutions.
