Phantom 4 Night Blades

[WilsonFlyer]

More seriously from my previous post. These kind of mods are looking nice but flying in public is clearly a no no as there is potential risks, and not necessarily immediatly observable. Just think about the impact of possible vibrations on electronic boards.

And even if everything works perfectly it is not a good idea to potentially increase risks, goal being to be respectful with the drone community. Because the below can happen;

Don't underestimate there will be people trying to copy the concept but not necessarily with same acuracy or safety mesures.

That's all I said until everyone insisted on escalating the issue because they didn't want to hear the answer.

I think WilsonFlyer needs to go and rebalance his props!

The forum has an ignore fcn. That's what it's for.

Just so you know. You seem kind of bowed up and proud of your mod like you've done something original, hence the criticisms. I assure you there's nothing original here except the platform you did it on, and even that's been done before.

Having said that, what you are actually doing is creating danger. Your obvious lack of expertise in RC is showing. You show a total disregard for the fact that not only one propeller, but FOUR are now greatly out of balance, thus creating a potentially dangerous situation for you and those around you.

Also drilling a hole in the hub is a BIG no-no. Ask anyone that was around in the early days of the 350QX how a weakened hub works out. You have jeopardized the structural integrity engineered into an already weak design to begin with (THAT is the nature of plastic RC parts and beyond your control.).

These are just facts. They are not personal, but we have a fiduciary responsibility to expose potential risks so others realize the potential jeopardy they may cause, and that's exactly what I'm doing here.

It's like a lot of things. It's cute until an accident occurs. Then it's not so cute anymore.

I have a fiduciary responsibility to not allow you to use words you don't understand.

Don't waste yourself. I won't see it anyway.

Forgot to mention... Run another one or a dummy wire to balance that thing out. Throw a prop on a balancer sometime and see what happens. There must be a way to secure a battery in the center without cutting the blade... Some sort of cap or crown to hold them then attach it to the top of the prop. Think miniature pizza table, the little plastic table that holds the top up.

If your gonna do it, do it right and do it safely.

 

[TheLightSpeedz]

I was thinking MSinger could make a cap cover type thing to hold a battery I'm sure

Need a flat surface to place the battery, as long as the battery is placed directly in the middle of the blades, it will just spin there. And the wire weighs grams at best....yea sure it's throwing off the balance a bit,but who cares? It still flys and it was just a thought. Unbelievable that I've gotten this much attention from an idea!

But I appreciate the heads up on posting my YT! Will not do it again I promis!

And the top cap can pop off very easy! The blades are still able to lock in, taking off the cap and grinding down some of the plastic didn't compromise the blades at all.....hasn't anyone done this before?

I think it's cool! Hey everyone told Blackberry to keep doing the same thing, because it's popular! Look at them now! Obsolete! The iPhone ate their lunch.

Maybe you need to start a Kickstarter campaign to make a commercial version?

I think they have ones that turn on with inertia!

Don't waste myself? Fiduciary is used wrong. But I'm sure the dictionary is wrong.

Anyway, don't you waste yourself, I will maintain my fiduciary and judiciary status to comply.

Have you considered using conductive tape copper or aluminumhttps://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&k...faGQFS4Yu7ZPZEOM5GMdJxdZoqHGxe44YAaAr398P8HAQ.

I place a small piece of tape to the positive wire to turn them on! Just looking for the rite holder for the battery's. Don't want to add to much weight.
