Taking FPV to a whole new level :D

And those motors aren't cheap, but still he seems to be rocking the cheapest radio he could get...
or maybe he just spent all his budget on the motors so that's the best he could do :)

Also the dude made a 3D printed jet engine (a proper one), which he then used as a hair dryer :D

Wow, that's incredible.  As in incredibly crazy...  Looks like a flying coffin to me.  Kind of reminds me of this from a few years ago:



Great ideas, bad implementation in my opinion.

Actually I'm working on something similar, but taking a more sane approach (I hope - it's hard to rationalize sometimes) of scaling up by scaling out.  I.e. adding more conventional / commercially available electric motors rather than fewer higher-power motors.  This leads to safety through redundancy among other things.

Still trying to get my first scaled-down prototype (to demonstrate redundant power & control systems, etc) flying though.  Now having LP FC issues getting motor controls working when count > 6.

But sorry, I didn't mean to hijack this thread.
