WANT TO KNOW HOW TO MINIMIZE CRASHING YOUR DRONE ! ! !
(This video exists thanks to the inability to control a V686 outdoor in mild wind or breeze that finally is not only power plant weight to lift power ratio, but the impossibility of fighting wind using small systems below 250g because of inertia and high-low pressure lift blade seat wash-out that actual helicopters suffer - note: Newton meters are not calculated in these paradigm)
Nonprofit and Activism - (Why drones suffer loss of control and fall from the sky and cause accidents and law change - 1 Hour - A little drone-ish(ad-hoc) but worth knowing if you have the time)
note: The start music is only because the freeware AVI joiner completely leaves out and deletes all audios of all other movie file pieces if there is no soundtrack in any one of the files of which the title image and following image of the drone parts are created and obviously did not possess and audio.
This video details "many not explained (WHAT THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU) reasons for Drone flight loss of control" that has resulted in heavy laws being introduced around the world to prevent the intrusions quad-copter type drones commit whether injury, trespass or accident and damage.
While there are flying demos in this video, these, as the talk is also, reasonably ad-hoc and are only to give you an idea of the capability of the drones to be controlled by an inexperienced(or intermittent short time) user such as myself.
There are a set of principals to being able to safely control a quad-copter. These are the "technical physics(radio , batteries)" aspects as much some "economic(consumables)" and type of "physical environment(weather , space)" the drone operates within relating "preventing control loss during flight".
It is found that toy quad drones cannot be controlled in a medium or heavy breeze, but quad drones over 22-23cm axle to axle center that are above 250g in weight can handle light wind (4 to 7meters per second constant).
------------------
NOTES:
------------------
****** Unlike this video, always level your quadcopter on a flat surface before transmitter binding and takeoff because there is a "control balance gyro" system to help hold the craft stable !
Using a flat surface sets its balance orientation before takeoff (alike an artificial horizon instrument in aircraft for the auto-pilot).
------------------
The term "Lithium batteries" refers to AA throw away lithium batteries (NOT the LiPo drone battery) !
------------------
3 minutes of "safe flight" relating quad-copter-battery power means from switch-on takeoff moment to final landing touchdown moment!
------------------
mini drone refers to "Nano drones".
------------------
Have a set of mini binoculars 10x25 and a stop watch.
------------------
A wind speed of "4m/s constant is a strong breeze" near light wind and the bigger quad-copter drones should only be flown away no more than 50 meters for 3 minutes at or above 4m/s with their 7.4v 1200mAh Lipo battery.(The manual rates the Tarantula-X6 as 5 minutes flight maximum - it does not account wind chewing the battery energy).The bigger drones can be flown further if there is somewhere to land for retrieval.
In one test (aerial photo only- not shown), a strong constant breeze of 4m/s to 7m/s gusts was in progress for the first 3 minutes of full battery test flight using the Tarantula-X6 out to 120 meters and a photo taken then return against the wind.
The battery was "reused for a second flight to the same position"
but the difficulty of the quad-copter to control caused aborting and landing it further away at around 200 meters radio control from start point in the paddock, The same as with the full battery in "Wind Flight test 3 T-X6(7ms-wind)" AVI.
(The tree is around 120 meters away from start point).
"Wind Flight test 4 T-X6(4ms-breeze)" shows a successful flight with the Tarantula-X6 using a full battery.
Tarantula X6 is more economic on battery power but requires sensitive nimble operation, whereas the V353 is easier to control but less responsive without power burst but remains easier all round to maneuver and fly.
Toy drones "the alike of" e.g. V686 are not able to handle wind beyond 3 meters a second(and should only bee flown inside or in properly wind shielded areas) - THEY ARE PROBABLY MOST OF THE REASON FOR MOST CRASHES AND THUS LAW UNREASONABLE LAW CHANGES AND BANS AGAINST DRONES, AS MUCH NON UNDERSTANDING THE SEVERE LIMITATIONS ANY SMALL ABSOLUTE-NON-PROFESSIONAL SIZE DRONES HAVE FOR POWER AND ITS' SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY !!!!
