It probably says something terrible about me as a person, but I always chuckle when I read the occasional story about someone that was doing this sort of thing making a mistake, or a ledge giving way, and they get to go find out if their religion of choice is real or not.

Nah, that would add too much weight, what we really oughta do is spin up the motors individually using a hand-held screwdriver and then ever so gingerly squeeze between two rows of spinning blades idling slightly below take-off speed. 10/10 would faceplant into the sides climbing in and leave a weird obituary. I mean, it's pretty impressive when you manage to make even Colin Furze look cautious and safety-minded by comparison. I'm probably misreading the situation, as that is a talent of mine, but gently caress that looks terrifying.

A minor personal OSHA, I just fitted a new shower, turns out the person who installed the old fittings decided wallplugs were far too unimportant and just jammed some toilet paper in to sit around the screws instead.

These high-powered model plane motors almost never have starters and require a manual spin-up.

Probably the same one that led him to fly it using a tethered RC controller, instead of actual human-sized controls. I'd love to see him try to get a FSDO to sign off on that, even as an experimental. gently caress that thing.

If he puts the blades above it starts to look like a helicopter, at which point its not exciting, because its not really a manned drone anymore its a lovely helicopter. His goal is to get on the front page of all the drone websites.

Most drones i've seen all have their payload below the blades, but some reading online says by putting the blades beneath causes it to have a tendency to flip over, and then for practicality reasons, it's extremely vulnerable to FOD Apparently the VZ-1 Pawnee was self-righting despite having the blades beneath, but that was because it was a ducted fan using contrarotating blades. https://www.damninteresting.com/hovering-in-history/

Shady Amish Terror posted:holy gently caress The hackaday.com comments on it are a lot more harsh when it comes to looking into it too much. So you are fine. A favourite comment talked about if he ditched it sideways the pylons holding the motors would bend or snap and cut him up nicely. Actually there isn't any really good way out of crashing or getting into that thing.
