RC Motorcycle FLIGHT Experiments

[@Kevin_Milczewski]

All I got from this video is I need one of those motorcycles because dang are they well made to take this level of abuse.

[@nokbeen3654]

Yeah but they’re like $700

[@SueBobChicVid]

LOSI needs to use this as a promo for the durability.

[@Mandurath]

I agree, that thing took a beating and kept rolling.

[@maaadcheddar]

It better for how much they cost.

[@DBowen-os2cv]

Was thinking the very same thing!

[@TheRealAlpha2]

That's a resilient RC motorcycle, man. Hall of fame worthy.

[@jellevanmourik8250]

Glad to see you included the dog's trajectory :)

[@horizonhobby]

LOL! So much fun! 🤣 We've seen the Losi Promoto-MX hold up to some pretty crazy 'abuse' but this video REALLY solidified how awesome Losi did when designing it. Thanks for the fun Peter and crew! 🔥

[@meetim6271]

The problem with the ducted fans on the bike wasnt drag, per se, it was that they were oriented perpendicular to the bike. When the bike took flight off the jump it wasnt parallel to the ground, it was nosewheel up, so the fans literally stopped it in mid air and it dropped like a rock.

[@keldonator]

Yea he need to use the brakes after leaving the jump to bring the nose down before activating the fans, could have been cool

[@AdmiralThumbs]

Yeah, I was gonna say this in counter to the explanation at 7:32 . The fans likely could work if they were designed to pivot to always be pointing perpendicular to the ground, instead of vectoring some of their thrust backwards when coming off of the ramp.

[@maszkalman3676]

Exactly he mad etons of flying machines and he still doesn't know the basics of thruster flight.....

[@mickmuzzmkmz1628]

I expected better from him, is he losing his touch?

[@meetim6271]

@@mickmuzzmkmz1628 I think the answer to that is kinda complicated. Humanity can be divided into two groups, the engineers and the rest. The engineers (of which I am one) have a particular focus on detail that the rest seem to lack. They dont know that they lack it, kinda like a goldfish doesnt know about the outside world. They focus on the end result and arent really too bothered about how they get there, or what it looks like when they get there. (I'm married to one...). To clarify, you dont have to be an actual engineer, you just have to think like one to be part of the group. As my engineering career progressed and I started mentoring younger engineers, this factor became very apparent, and I became adept at spotting it. So that's my take on it. Edit: as it applies to Peter, I think that in this case he is just churning through ideas and designs and not slowing down to think about the details. He might be one of 'the others', although are we always part of one group or the other? is the Venn diagram really two separate circles or is there some overlap?

And you you as well, sir. A true Regallo wing will create lift from forward motion. A kite, by its very nature cannot. It can convert the motion of falling to forward motion, but, as the saying goes, "That's all she wrote."

[@jbird6609]

1)The hang glider was nose heavy. Almost no lift, and negative angle of attack on take off, Nice and light though, your best attempt in my opinion. try 15 % angle of incidence and adjust your balance backward a little. should work easy . 2)Another suggestion use 3 wheels. 3) On the delta wing you had negative angle of attack. 4) Other then the first one, your wings were top heavy 5) You should make them fly before you make them drive.

[@mh53eflyguy]

First kite is upside down

[@quadmasterXLII]

When KSP taught me that you don't need aerodynamics if you had enough reaction wheels, I pretty much figured that was a lie. I am actually shocked to see the kite glider working so well

[@amazingjohnny90]

That was awesome! The RC company should put this up on their website to show how durable their products are.

[@scottdunbar4898]

Brother, you brighten my day. Thank you so much.

[@mrshoofie]

0:56 no Peter. Only you 😅 this is why we watch you ... 😂

[@dale1956ties]

If you want the fireworks to go off simultaneously, you'd stand a better chance if you used quick fuse on the rockets and a regular 30-sec/ft cannon fuse to give you some time to gt into the air. Then when the slow fuse ignites the quick, the fireworks would theoretically all go at once.

[@B.M.0.]

5:25 Peter's next project is to make the dog fly

[@stevennagley3407]

Make a parafoil for him

[@TomkaConstructionSolutions-z2z]

Great video! Thanks man. Do you think it would work better if you turned the kite the right way instead of upside down? You can see when you're riding along the ground. The kite is pushing the guy down LOL. Was that part of the strategy?

[@magnulof]

My thought as well😂😂

[@craigtpat]

This reminds me of those early attempts at flight videos. Strap a set of winds to anything and send it.

[@O.L.D_RC]

It looked sick in the air though! It also ended like usual for Evel Knievel😂

[@samuellondke9108]

Wooo hoooo great Christmas present! Thanks Peter!

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

WoW !! Now that was a professionally written and filmed Movie! Everything worked out as if you had 6 of everything and made 45 takes. Even after all the explosions the bike started and rode out of it all and over the ramp! Just amazing. Thanks for that one!! It's the Best video y'all have made!!

[@edutaimentcartoys]

3:35 wow, epic moment

[@ebrewste]

The Lodi engineer in charge of durability must be over the moon with this one!

[@bigratkiller1]

Merry Christmas.......Super mega bonus points for covering everything in the Stars and Stripes

[@alishanmao]

Your mounted gliders do not have right angle of attack. you have installed them nose pointing down and thats why it does nothing but only pushing the bike further down even during jumps. if you set the angle right, even at straight run, when speed is right your bike will take off.

[@Kys878]

Thank you for putting in the dog, hitting the ramp I was so happy when I seen that

UNDER 20 MINUTES NO WAY THIS VIDEO IS INSANE DUDE

[@jimp.7286]

HAHAHAHA. I would've died laughing had I been there and seen it in person. Cheers.

[@Andrew-13579]

0:54. As the driven rear wheel is brought to a stop by the motor, does the torque cause the motorcycle to pitch forward and land on the front wheel? Is it possible to keep some power applied in the air to keep the front wheel up? Easier said than done, I’m sure.

[@TryAgainFPV]

Kites are designed to be graphic side down, the cross bar is supposed to bend the other direction giving an inherent amount of dihedral to the wing. i hope you revisit that one .

[@mattmoore9042]

Anything but anticlimactic! Fireworks always win!

[@SC-mh5ix]

[@ltdees2362]

.. Merry Christmas! .. Wow...who knew you could have so much fun with a flying motorcycle & fireworks 😛

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

Here's an idea that might work. Have the wing folded and deploy after the bike leaves the ramp. Just a thought. Merry Christmas

[@j.till_z]

I wonder if there has ever been a scientific study that proves that kids who played with gas and matches, grow up to have high levels of ingenuity and high problem solving skills

[@FCFDave]

Great entertainment, thanks!

[@waynor2008]

This man is the best inventor in the world 4real man

[@jasongooden917]

you should tilt the drone propellers more forward so they will be level when the bike tilts up at the front

[@TomkaConstructionSolutions-z2z]

You think that would have been an obvious point when they were testing it, but I guess they were having too much fun

[@newmonengineering]

So many things done wrong! Lots of fun. I would have definitely angled the fans forward 45 degrees to keep the attitude more favorable. The last wing design needed some small wheels on the tips to keep it from dragging. It would have worked better with a dangling design where the wing can move in relation to the weight of the motorcycle. A simple gyro based flight controller would probable have been a good idea to tune a servo to change the weight and thus steer the wing in relation to the motorcycle weight. But can you ever go wrong with fireworks attached to toys?

[@protonus]

Sam's here! You're having fun making things that shouldn't fly, fly! No point or purpose beyond that... WE'RE BACK BOYS!

[@AnthonyCotto]

Wow those motorcycles take a beating! Got a link to what you used? Merry Christmas!

[@markd4926]

Losi

[@marlobreding7402]

Your wing needs to be Eleventyseven percent larger. Maybe add a Turboencabulator.😂

[@spud4839]

Next do a 1:1 scale 👍

[@xxblackmoldxx5648]

that was the cleanest way I've seen someone open a taped box

[@merrickmoriel8878]

I've had a concept for a flying jet bike for some time now. The idea I had was that the rider could use their legs to actually lean in to rotate the aircraft like one would when actually riding to spoil the air over the wings. I have no idea if it would actually work but it's been a dream of mine to make it when I have the finances.

[@ColtonDefont]

because jet=fast, fast=cool, cool=good video😎

[@danieldavis9348]

This one is simple. Start on flat ground and lay down a hot wheels track to help keep you straight. You could even glue a little extra to the sides if needed. If you sweep an old abandoned parking lot. For the price of some labor you are set. With a glow type of igniter you will have a very small chance of fireworks going off together. Use one sugar rocket instead with a glow starter you can set off.

[@michaelyoung3337]

Classic Sripol!

[@walk4718]

Wild and crazy guys🤣

[@CupolaDaze]

I think there is some interference between the controller of the bike and your mic. I hear a ringing sound for most of the video. At 14:55 there is no ringing till you pull the trigger on the controller.

[@Mdgaming_01-i6l]

Pretty sure the "ringing" you hear is the flywheel in the bike. Don't think an rc remote can interfere with a microphone, and if it would you'd hear it in all of his videos where he uses a rc vehicle

RC Bike was the little toy that could ! Still working at the end despite all the abuse
