Since I cannot get my own way I’m on it, this post is becoming a “big disappointment” :joy:

I’m going to do some sulking (while I’m working).

I got it!!!

What if I set myself to drive at 70mph on the motorway, and have the drone to fly inside the car? What could go wrong???

The GPS would try and make it “hover in one position” so it would probably take out the back window as it tried to stay in place.

But worth a try.

Somewhere there’s a video on YT of someone trying to fly one in a train … :stuck_out_tongue:

Ok, I admit it.

I had drilled the arms ad body to lighten the aircraft and fitted Master Airscrews.

I’d be more interested as to how you manage to mod the motors/props to provide >40 Newtons of horizontal force to provide the acceleration of 95 m/s/s … without much height increase.
Even the space shuttle maxed out at 30 m/s/s.
95 m/s/s is close to 10G.

I think this one needs to be attributed to some onboard computational quirk.

If not - NASA will give you a highly paid job. :wink:

Err, tweeked the max tilt angle from 35 to 90 degrees.

Used a 110volt battery charger on 240 volt circuit.

As I have discussed elsewhere - an error and a several second loss of control with the aircraft rotating wildly - caused by the nearby artillery base on Thorney Island who were testing anti-drone measures at the time deciding to have a little fun with a civilian target.

With that amount of acceleration, they’d never have a chance!

Sustained for 3.5 secs, you would have broken the sound barrier.

The Eurofighter Typhoon - brakes off to Mach 1 = ~28secs.

Maybe they should drill holes in it and fit Master Airscrews then!
