Maybe they should include a tube of super glue.
This video is definitely the best in terms of editing and entertainment,
amazing dude, that intro was awesome, im seriously impressed. I dont doubt
it took a long time to put together, as always tho, definitely was worth it.
I didnt expect this, hm, product, to be reviewed by you.
Pretty bad from what i can see, but I didnt expect more from something made
out of Lego bricks. And that price, ugh, makes everything so much worse. Oh
well, hopefully they will improve, potential is still here. I wish them
only good, concept itself is awesome.
Great video and review. You are right, I think they missed the mark. The
brick should have been set up to fly for a noobie. And it appears Glue is
needed which takes the point away from the whole kit.
Another entertaining and informative video!
Bummer about the product though. Such promise it shows.
I laughed so hard my arms and legs fell off !! ….
PS: did you tell a joke or tickle this machine at lift off time ?? 😉
PPS: Glue crossed my mind too , so why not the manufacturers’ mind ?
As someone that did play a lot with lego back in the day and tried to make
structurally challenging things (bridge spanning the entire bedroom and all
that), when first seeing those designs I already said to myself “that
really isn’t going to work”.
It probably can, but when you have arms attached with just one point it is
sure as hell going to fail.
Since it is a bit hard to explain I hit up google and found my self a
digital lego builder to demonstrate it:

Doing something like this would make it structurally much more sound.
It is a bit weird they included the designs they did to be honest., because
if you do it properly it can work rather well. I mean, this guy made a RC
Airplane of lego *without* glue and that worked just fine

I am mostly typing this because I could hear your disappointment and
figured that with a bit of adjustments you can have rather fun workable
designs.
love your videos! sorry this model was sort of a flop :-. I had a question
for you (if you have the time to reply); if you had to pick the best small
quadcopter out of all those reviewed, which one would you choose? I’m
trying to buy a more reliable small one to play with and the one I bought
seems to have a lot of problems.
thanks for any response!
Excellent video – Big thumbs up !!! Visit us
