Radio Controlled SpaceX Starship CRASH

[@NicholasRehm]

Hey everyone, thank you for all of the support on this project! I will be rolling out a few (maybe boring) videos on my flight controller over the next few weeks to wrap up the documentation for that, so please don't be alarmed. Fun projects like the superheavy booster will ramp up as the weather starts warming up!

[@kevinshen9391]

Hello Nicholas Rehm, I have also been working on a similar project, (though less advanced than what you've got) and was wondering if you had an email or something which I could contact you and ask some questions! I totally understand if you don't have time, seeing as (I think) you are already working on and doing a masters research project at the University of Maryland!

[@NicholasRehm]

@@kevinshen9391 hey Kevin, you can find my email on my channel page in the ‘about’ section. Looking forward to hearing what you’re up to

this is criminally underappreciated

[@NicholasRehm]

Thanks for your support!

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

Completely authentic, right down to the crash

[@tylermatzen]

Have to disagree with you now... sry man

[@starshipsfsandksp8339]

Kinda looked like sn9 crash

[@thomasmcewen5493]

I am an engineer and I came to the belief that electronics work from smoke, when you let the smoke escape the avionics stops working, You need more smoke. Great Job

[@NicholasRehm]

Never let the magic smoke out

Cool, no failure means, no innovation. Keep it up!!!

This has ‘a million views’ potential.

Thanks for your contribution toward that goal

[@Mkkl3782]

You need to add some extra weight in order to perform a more realistic starship landing.

[@Kersycorp]

Dude your content deserves millions of views! Don't forget me when you get popular!

@@NicholasRehm hey question, do your files work with oother printers besides prusa? for example, like a artillery genius? or do you know. cause ive fould that alot of builds dont work for my 3d printer and i dont know why.

[@NicholasRehm]

@@corty8969 as long as your build volume is bigger than about 6x6x6” they should work. They’re just standard .stl files that you need to slice for your printer

Well Done! Look forward to the next iteration

Congratulations on your flights! Just a great job and looking forward to more!

Thanks a bunch, gotta get working on the booster....

[@austntexan]

Fantastic results NR. Came across your teensy controller by accident. Engineering students all over the world are going to have a great year because of your work!

[@NicholasRehm]

I sure hope it helps someone out. Thanks for the comment

[@BTCxyz369]

When do these go on sale? 🚀🌋

[@fullflowaerospace]

You can 3D print most parts, but a lot of them you need to buy.

[@yo90bosses]

How much does it weight and how much thrust does it produce?

[@NicholasRehm]

About 900 grams with 2800 grams thrust

[@yo90bosses]

@@NicholasRehm what motors are those?

[@NicholasRehm]

@@yo90bosses XING 2207 2450kv with 4s lipo and 5042x3 props, kind of low end/cheap motors that I had laying around

[@chipweather]

Im a middle schooler but i want to make one of these and im wondering how much it costed and any tips for make something like this

[@NicholasRehm]

If you are starting from scratch (no radio or receiver) it will probably be about $500 to get started. You would also need a 3D printer for some of the parts. Do you have any experience building drones? I would recommend to start there first to get a feel for the parts and how to fly! This model is quite a bit more difficult to build and fly than something like a quadcopter. If you need any advice, feel free to email me (link in my channel). Best of luck!

[@tristinwells3631]

You’re going to be huge one day. Cheers to you.

[@NicholasRehm]

I really appreciate that you think that, cheers

[@HylanderSB]

You should be doing this in Brownsville between shifts.

[@NicholasRehm]

ha! That would be awesome

[@alirezaghaderi]

Greate Man!!! Keep up the good work... These tiny servos are not so precise and the oscillate... try using genuine servo it may improve stability

[@jotham123]

Seconding this. Knock off servos have crap response and repeatability. Can be very jittery

[@NicholasRehm]

I agree, response time is slow on the nylon gear SG90's

[@oldbloke135]

"Ah well, that's good enough." as the first Martians will say, crawling out of the wreckage after their ten month journey. Seriously though, that is an impressive job.

[@starshipsn1511]

Why do you need ANY throttle during the bellyflop? Your flaps are large enough to keep it stable

[@NicholasRehm]

Its a tiny bit of idle throttle producing negligible forward thrust, mainly to allow for a small amount of roll control in descent from the differential throttle

[@starshipsn1511]

Well, I’m very sorry for being so rude, that makes sence and I love your channel

[@dagbaramore3640]

just great! did you measure the terminal velocity?

[@raymondo162]

what's the camera setup pls ?

[@cluelessturlte1512]

Thats frickin awesome

[@snowvalleyrat]

It sounds just like R2D2's scream. Lol This thing is Awesome man!

[@Knossos22]

So, do you have SN9 ready for flight? : )

[@NicholasRehm]

Surprisingly its been difficult keeping up with SpaceX's development pace

[@pswru]

1:50 красиво, 7:57 очень красиво, спасибо.

[@3elmashy522]

I'm suggesting using flywheels as a reaction moment generator for cheating the stabilization :)

big fan.

[@kadincolbath640]

have 2 controllers 1 for super heavy 1 for starship only have superheavy controller guy full trottel detach somehow and have one guy land while the starship controller guy nick keeps going eventually starts bellyflop

[@NicholasRehm]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@zzuajingga]

put fts!

[@NicholasRehm]

Hitting the ground at high velocity is a pretty good flight termination system

[@johnmogavero8156]

Can you print me one for real ??

[@NicholasRehm]

Here's a lot of information on how to build one: hackaday.io/project/175745-radio-controlled-starship-program

[@craigjones2015]

Darn that was sad. I was hoping you would get it really dialed in good.

[@NicholasRehm]

The intent was to go out to fly that day and play it safe haha. I learned what breaks in a crash so those parts can be improved

[@SA-ow9yo]

What happens with this project ?

[@NicholasRehm]

Still brainstorming a way to make it 2-stage, 1-pilot
