About time you get your checkmark from YT.

4-in-1 escs typically have a built in 5v bec for powering a flight controller, you might be able to replace the rx battery with a second servo plug coming off the esc.

It's hard to change the direction of the axis of an rotating mass (gyroscopic effect), in this boomerang design, the motors rotational axis are changed when the boomerang it's self rotates, so the boomerang is continuously fighting against the gyroscopic effect. So maybe that's why the small one didn't work and it took so much motor power to make it work

He built my dad?

If you put a bearing in the center with a tube and attached a second one on the "bottom" going the opposite way, you might be able to make it hover. And if you slow down the top or bottom motors, it might make it turn left or right. Basically a way over complicated drone "boomerang" but would be cool to see 😁

Hmm very interesting, but sounds pretty plausible to me. And yeah he'd be able to control it then. Idk how the programming and tuning will go though 😅😅

the slow camera sliding in some of these shots is 🔥 adds a lot of depth. great video!

The FS-i6 will bind to any flysky receiver which uses AFHDS or AFHDS 2A there is a setting in the menu to switch between the two. I have also bound mine to some HobbyKing recievers.

Your channel is just evolving into actual chaos and im all for it 😂

What a catch ! Great project, well done !

Love it, never felt more suspense or more fear about boomerang. Fortunately cool heads prevailed and no one lost their head

You can pull power from the balance lead of the 4-cell lipo for the receiver eliminating the other battery. We used to do that with our FPV drones before the video transmitters were high voltage. It works great. You pull from the connector where 6v comes out for the receiver.

Excellent work. Great video as always❤

Really liked this video. It feels better than some of the last ones for some reason!? I always like them all, but this one feels a tiny bit more special

I'm glad someone finally stepped up to the plate to make the electric boomerang we've always needed.

“ I think I have all the information I need” hilarious.

I love when you post bro!!! Keep it going.

Great to see you back miss seeing youre videos always inspirating ideas

Dude this was an awesome project and worked really well! Glad to see you getting to a win without a ton of headache lmao. Always love whenever you post!!

Plenty of free flight model helicopters back in the day worked like that. Love the energy, well done.

Love it! Great project, great video!

LOVE the way you think and wish we were neighbors.

Simon love your videos been watching for many years and there always fun to watch

Nice video as always Simon :) It's also pretty cool that it really came back!

GREAT VIDEO AGAIN - keep up the great work

Simon, I also had a problem with my DX6i going full throttle even when I recalibrated the sticks. I upgraded a X9D plus to hall gimbals and used the old gimbals in my DX6i. Worked like a charm and now I have a spare controller.

Finally another vid from this awesome channel 🎉

Try moving the motors from the wing tips towards the center of the boomerang. In that way the wing tips can have a higher speed, more lift and its get easier to throw. Ha det bra. =)

@xxmortikaixx4975

3 ай бұрын

I had the same thoughts as well as make the wings longer. The motors being near the center will turn the boomerang and the longer wings will act more like a helicopter rotor.

I will come back like your boomerang and watch more of your videos!

sick fpv!!! SICK FPV!!!

4:50 PA: That’s a Flysky FS-i6, don’t cheap out. I am not surprised it doesn’t work… Just get an actually good transmitter, basically anything that runs EdgeTX is ok. I recommend the Radiomaster Boxer, or the TX16S. Also, ELRS for the transmitter and receiver. With Radiomaster, they have an option for a built-in ELRS transmitter. Edit: The FS-i6 is literally the cheapest radio on getfpv right now. For just 11$ more you could’ve gotten a Radiomaster Pocket which is IMHO the waaaay better deal.

The reason that he can't bind them is because they use different communication protocols, not because Flysky is cheap. There's nothing wrong with the TX.

Actually EPIC. As someone when i lived in Australia got to have authentic ones made an taught how to use them its really an art/science. Keep enjoying yourself cause i will keep watching :)

@another3997

Ай бұрын

But authentic boomerangs weren't meant to come back, they were hunting weapons. Not having any knowledge of aerofoils, or the tools to check perfect balance, aboriginals would use trial and error to make ones that flew in a relatively straight and predictable manner. A returning boomerang would be a novelty and fun, but useless as a weapon.

Of course a flysky controller won’t bind with a spectrum receiver. They are completely different protocols

Well done on the catch near the end. I live in Australia and I can say there’s heaps of good sports boomerangs you can buy. The are heaps of fun to get your head around. You can throw them so far and so high, with the right wind. 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼😎🍀☮️☮️☮️

This is wonderful

So cool. Always great videos.

I'm an FPV pilot and RC aircraft maker since +5 years. Never seen a guy with the balls to launch a prototype that rotate multiple times every seconds from a stick, 50cm from its face. You could just have no more jaw in half a sec lmao.

Just brilliant!

"A Boomerang That Never Comes Back" - so you invented a stick. Good job, tree!

that thing sounds crazy

Nice! Does your setup allow you to reverse the motors? Maybe just before trying to catch it, a quick reversal might make it easier. Also, if it's about to hit something, maybe there would be less damage if it wasn't spinning as much.

i think the best way to understand what harm can be done by technology is to have access to it. for instance, trying to build things often harms my ego. but seriously, well put at the end there man

That was pretty awesome !

amazing success

The sound it makes love it Imagine that with lights 4x the size middle of the night all the ufo reports you would cause....

I absolutely love hearing you speak Swedish when testing!

Powerful!

that was pretty cool. congrats

Everyone's talking about the receiver and not the fact that he made an awesome device that I thought would kill him by the end of it, lol!

This channel is amazing 👏 😂😊

I really enjoyed your video brother

Am amazed that it works

it's rediculous that you really managed to catch that boomerang after two turns XD

Sweet project! I wonder if it can be controlled. Perhaps a servo controlling an aileron to tilt it at the correct rotation angle intervals during flight. Love the spinning transition BTW 👍

I cant think of boomerangs without thinking of the scene in Mad Max 2...this thing seems just as terrifying lol

I am stunned that that worked

That was impressive

I guess the boomerang doesn’t come back just like my dad… huh….

Awesome idea....👍👍👍

Please, give this man a medal 🏅🏅🏅

The returns on this video must be great!

i love your videos :D they are so genius funny😂😂

Would love to see a studio tour!

Great Video! Some possible ideas for future revisions; - Design it as a 2 part Sandwich to "internalize' wiring and components - Split the battery load onto the 3 arms evenly (ie 3 battery packs) - Modify the wing design to include the pitch angle for more consistent/uniform pitch angles Not sure how feasible, but if you cold program the motors individually you could potentially have full maneuverability and fly it like a "normal" drone

Congratulations on the Dishwasher!

Sooo Cool!!

WoW bro this amazing really 😍🔥🔥🔥💯

Love it! Great job. Definite UFO vibes. 🎉

Pretty awesome. Scary AF - but awesome.

6:33, my heart. Longest startup I have ever seen

That was awesome. Made me think, I bet a dual rotor head boomerang would work better than props on boomerang. Like a dual rotor head helicopter.

Nice one. I would try with longer arms (wings), but the motors closer to the center of the wings (eg. mid-mount). That way the tip speed of the wings will be more than the speed at which the motors will travel.

I'm just imagining the boomerang saying the funniest sh*t, like "Nah, f*ck that. I'm never going back." 😭😭💀
