Heavy Lift Quadcopter Blade Lock Test #202:38

The ad hoc blade lock solution tested successfully as seen in this video. It will provide the protection needed for the blades to continue with our testing sequence towards first flight. We also took advantage of this time to determine what the lower engine speed limit is to help in the programming of the engine controller.

      Nice… Keep on posting… Can it lift 25kg?

    2. Ricardo Iarossi

      good luck guys, im following this project

    3. Murat E

      What happened the guy’s finger?

    4. DerKrawallkeks

      this quad is incredible!! Such a nice project:) good luck, please do more videos!

    5. Murat E

      I am also following your project. I am assuming that you’ d be keeping the engine RPM constant and changing the blade angles with swashplates and servos that can be clearly seen in the videos to control the quad. That means you can also fly it inverted just like my RC Helicopters. Nice.
      Please keep posting.

      Very interesting project. One question; when it’s all done, will you release the engine and pitch controller under GPL? Currently the hobby community lacks a good open source flight controller with support for variable pitch quadcopters. I’m pretty sure the MultiWii or Cleanflight guys wouldn’t mind 🙂

      How do you have such professional quality videos as a student project :)?

    8. bastienfrancois

      I suppose you expect either the army or matternet/ray Kurzweil will be knocking on your door pretty soon… and line your pockets with gold.

    9. Sumerian Eng.

      interesting…. good luck

    10. Eduardo Max

      What is the expected thrust? Very nice project guys, good lucky.

    11. ZML Channel

      When will it fly

    12. ReabowRotors

      what about manual control of engine RPM from the transmitter and use a traditional flight controller to control pitch instead of throttle.

    13. mitropoulosilias

      hope this one fly!!! waiting to see~!!

    14. Marius Mungiu

      hey guys! why not use a differential with a brake at one end and a propeller at the other to adjust the speed according to the friction applied by the brake

    15. Richard McMahon

      Could you use heat shrink for the Ad hoc solution?  I suppose you will want to disassemble it sometime so probably not.  Just a thought.

    16. EnglishTurbines

      Dont you think each of the four main rotor shafts should have a one way bearing clutch fitted? In the event your engine cuts out, this will allow auto-rotation like a helicopter. Its also a lot less stressful on the blades if the engine stops suddenly. Seems like you have more engine power than blade area to me, make those booms / blades longer, or are you restricted to the length of those endless drive belts?

    17. Jonathan Young

      i agree with +DerKrawallkeks do more videos!

    18. Nelson Chua

      keep it coming….wishing all the success for your project!

    19. Forck-In Quad

      When are you guys going to post more videos of this monster. So curious to see in in the air 🙂

    20. Rich Morgenstein

      Have you guys gotten this to fly yet?

    21. w1ndf4k3r

      Just a question, how will you guys achieve yaw control with constant rpm. Ok I know you will get some torque difference just from pitch change, but will it be enough?

    22. Yang Hudson

      what flight control do u use on this quadcopter?

    23. Ronald RC

      ohh this is going to be the best quad imagine how much this thing is going to be able to lift? can’t wait to see it fly

    24. 许勇

      Great Idea ! Maybe you guys should try tuned muffler with the engines . 
      The standard muffler come alone with those engines are just use to reduce noise . Good luck .

    25. Francisco Augusto

      Congrat for the project! When can i see it flying?

    26. Ikeman

      need to test the full range of motor. these 2 stroke motors? it seems to me the test stopped at 50% throttle.? 3d printed parts + high stress/vibration= failure? just my thoughts/ trying to help cause i love what you guys are doing/accomplishing!

    27. George hanes

      You nick you finger?

    28. Joel Bergström

      great project! but why the music? it destroys any chances of hearing anything of what is happening. gearheads like me want the sound! please ditch the music.

    29. ufoengines

      COOL! Sharp build!

    30. Brandon Dorman

      Are u going to make a new video

    31. thra5herxb12s

      Great project but I cant understand why you risk everything with home made props when every size and pitch can be bought so easily.

    32. Basuki Sugito

      Tested for a yr ago and not flying yet?

    33. Redcat Roostertail

      junk can’t fly

    34. Dakota Ten Hoeve

      We don’t need shit background music

    36. Mr. Crowley

      Well, I suppose it never flew…..no more vids.
