Sweeeeet! Was thinking about doing the same project to get around the issue with having to control the glider on descent! Keep it up and looking forward to the 3D printed one.

Two aircraft. An expensive Alta and a crappy piece of foamboard. Lets look at the foamboard. THIS is why Daniel is awesome.

Ok

Great video, good to see that you are doing such interesting projects again.

unless you're a goose...

All your projects are so cool!! Really enjoy all the details. You have opened up so many things that are possible. Thanks

Thanks for the education. Having a bag with several Autopilot/stabilizers with precarious results. Your video inspires me to get them out and find their instructions. Truly cool project, with very respectable results.

Awesome test! I love that you mentioned the pinpointrc black box tracker at the end. I got one about a month ago. It's a great little product. Managed to find my lost plane multiple times.

Hi Daniel I just want to thank you for doing this awesome videos. They are such an inspiration for me. Thanks to them I am back at getting creative again. As you are doing, I'm Building a Spacex RC landing booster. You even inspired me to begin documenting my projects on KZread. Thanks Damian

What a great idea you mentioned. Organizations that send up sensors by balloon would be able to recover expensive equipment easily and safely. I wish I could tag along and assist. You are brilliant....Good Job!

Very nice. I put a couple of Autopilots in my zohd models and am waiting for the snow to go and the weather to get better so I will be able to test the return to home feature in case I fly out of range. Am using the BGL 6G xxx and see how it works. Happy Flying

One of the best things, i have ever scene. A mere 10 years ago, this was 100% fantasy. Sweettt Vidddd

Always nice to see an rctestflight video uploaded , great project Daniel , All the best ...............

That works perfectly! You just need to get better at working with the limitations and nuances of the mission waypoints. So inspirational, thanks for all the content you post.

Awesome man! GREAT IDEA. Great video on this, with the Thorn bushes and all

Awesome experiment, dude 😎👍 You've been inspiring me to design my own parkjets and fpv planes.

Cool project Daniel. Keep ‘em coming😊🛩

I saw this when it was first uploaded, but I'm now noticing how seamless those transitions are and WOW.

Just great episode! Keep em coming!

Great project, looking forward!

Man! I totally invented this concept when I was little. An autonomous, GPS guided glider software for a model skydiver dropped from a plane. But obviously didn’t have enough resources or knowledge to pursue it.

I sowed a little parachute canopy last year. Getting one of those to drop, open and then steer autonomously would be awesome too!

LOL... a pile of tubing waiting there for you to use... you live a charmed life my friend...

I love to see shuttle like planes drop from a other plane/drone. Idk its kind of satisfying🤔🤣

Fantastic. Inspirational. Imagine where this will be in five years.

High altitude stuff.. Like on a helium balloon, raised to 60km near the edge of space high altitude?

Your vids from 10 years ago were great. They made my son and I laugh so hard when the planes would go wrong. Many great memories of those days of building, flying and watching your vids. Still like the vid with Schlomo song.

That's pretty cool man! I'll be watching for more updates.

Very nice video and I love this kind of project. Congratulations on that.

Love your work good luck with the high alt version.

That was freaking cool. Looking forward to Part two

I love these types of videos, keep up the good work.

Always wanted to play with the px4. Nice!

Apart from the rest of a great video, the thing actually flies great!

I think it needs an altimeter so when you're making waypoints that it needs to be at the specified height at said waypoint

indeed your right, to make a profile suited to the glide ratio of the aircraft.

Definitely great video. Really nice design.

Struggling through blackberry and wild rose prickers is the main reason I retreated from free flight. That new GPS is pretty cool.

NASA is looking for guys like you! Thanks for sharing!

Awesome video. Keep up the great content!

The slough haha! I haven't heard that thing mentioned in years, I'm from Woodinville lol.

The shuttle drop project was the first video of your I saw and have been watching sense.

good stuff, i've been working on using a budget mini quad to lift and drop a cheap glider i have, and fpv fly it back to base myself

Very nice mission. It's got the spirit of your old videos - but modern day tech instead of just popsicle sticks :) The px4 looks pretty nerdy - just what I need. You also got a Sripol going on here in the comments - next video Casey and Pew will come and say hi :)

it's like boomerang but way more expensive...

Very interesting projects. Instantly subscribed

That is super cool it looks just like the shuttle used to I hopy you keep it up and dial it in I think you might be on to somthing really cool and needed for rc aircraft.

This is cool! I want to see more of this!

Will you do your long range FPV videos again. I loved those man

Damn. The possibilities are freaking infinite. Very, very cool concept.

My year is complete when I see your new video. No more KZread for me until 2020.

Looking at the route the plane took you can see it nails the centre of each waypoint before making the turn to the next one. So maybe if you want to get the landing right you need to chain a few waypoints together to control the planes heading.

I like your ambitions my friend!

Nice work, waiting for the next episode...

Entertaining af! 👍🏻

very cool!

That was awesome, can't wait to see the weather balloon drop.

dude! that's real cool. Can you imagine dropping the glider in your state and actually gliding over to another state? Man, that would be cool A.F.

Nice project!

You have to adjust the PVT to 200 bdc's and raise the FML to high, so that the plane can switch from ALS to BLS. Do NOT set the GPS's FGI to 0, or it will crash. One other thing, I have no idea what I'm talking about.. Cool video man!

Could you try to do an iNav build? It would be very interesting to see an iNav glider or quadcopter.

These gliders put windows in danger! Nice work :)

thats a very important piece of research if it works

That was awesome!

Awesome video

Beeing able to remember the Space Glider video like it was yesterday, i feel old now...

Just realized how easy it is to make an rc plane, probably gonna be making one and now I'm looking at your videos way differently.

hell ya that sounds awesome

this is great stuff!

I like this guys RC's big up bro,from 254

Scientifically done!

very good video! got me inspired to code my own autopilot software probably wont have time for it in a long time though

Those vids at your parents house back in the day were the best 😂

really enjoy when planes landing

You should try an airfoil versus no airfoil with the same weight on both machines.

Love rc stuff wish I could wrap my mind around it

i love this kind of videos

Cool idea for a drop from high altitude !

Nice video! I am curious to see the next steps! :)

Really cool! Do you have any video where you go through your setup? I´d love to understand how it works!

Try a close coupled canard and about 20 degrees sweep back on the main wing trailing edge and it may pitch up in ground effect for a softer landing

Amazed by your voice and tone, you kind of sound like one of those robo voice fill ins i hear so often on the web. But it is a very interesting channel.

noooice to see the alta8 is at least good for lifting what looks like a cereal box glider LMAO good to see you back sharing the diy builds

Great Aussie accent there.

Pretty cool man

Story if my life: Man look at all these really cool features! Won't answer the really simple question I need answered....but has a ton of cool features.

Please post a follow-up video of the GoPro footage of the plane bouncing off the trees in the final crash landing. Epic bouncing from branch to branch.

Imo the best lost plane tracker is tBeacon, because it uses 433mhz band to transmit coordinates via voice. So you can use cheap UV-5R to call for them and receive them, and if u'll use Yagi high dBi antenna u'll be able to find it even without coordinates. You just search for direction with best signal, and go there. I used to fly drones and planes in places with almost no cellular coverage (for example mountains), and this tBeacon thing helped me out really good though. It has its own battery with pretty low power consumtion because it just waits for you to call it and it doesnt transmit anything if its not needed.

Can you incorporate a radio altimeter and get this thing to flare itself at 5 feet?

Maybe the vehicle is to close to home point when you engage it and is why it rejected RTH.? Try getting further out and away from launch point. You can change distance to home point engagement distance but can’t remember how. It’s been a while since I’ve messed with Ardupilot and PX4. I had the original 3DR mini pixhawk running px4 and had lots of issues and ended up dropping that project and moving on to something else. I’m not familiar with the pixracer but no they had some problems with that board a while back as well but sure that’s been addressed by now.

Daniel, Back when you did a shuttle drop video I suggested that this technology would be useful for returning weather balloon or other balloon borne instrument packages to a home base instead of relying on them being dropped by parachute, found accidentally, and mailed back. I don't know if your comment about doing this from a balloon release is related to my earlier comment, but I still believe this would be a valuable application. My experience is that good ideas have usually already been patented, but if this hasn't it would by worth your pursuing. Bill Dimpfl

cool project

Bro you are too good. I really want to make one Rc plane, but don't know the how and how's, youtube has very complicated videos to refer from.

That’s cool!

Cool video I want one. Subscribed👍

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen

Wonderful

good and very interesting job! i guess this work can be published on some sci journl, and u may write an article about it👍

Magnific!

Can you make a video where you go over the gear that you have for your planes? And possibly how they work and all that

Nice one.

Holy smokes dude!
