056 "RC Test Flight" w/Daniel Riley

by FliteTest | January 3, 2015 | (17) Posted in Podcasts

 Today we talk to Daniel Riley from the YouTube channel "RC Test Flight". We've always enjoyed Daniel's awesome videos and fun projects. He is certainly a DIYer after our own hearts and so he was kind enough to join us for an interview. Enjoy!

UPDATE: During the podcast we discussed Daniel's upcoming 100 Watt LED quadcopter..... He delivered!!

Great interview, Daniel's channel has been, like yours, a GoTo place for cool fun knowledge. Great to see the cargo plane connection (it all makes sense now...) All the best to Daniel, he will do great things, I'm sure of it. Thanks for reading, bye.

I just spent the last hour going over every bit of info on the Rockwest Composites site. Oh, the things that can be made with their products!

I wonder if Lauren Int'l has a composites division...

Another Great Podcast - you're doing a good job with interesting topics. Along with FT After Hours, I really enjoy them. You're helping make it a small world - good connections.

Daniel is the reason i bought the foxtech FPV goggles, his demonstration sold me over the fatshark, as the whole kit (Tx,Rx and antennae) came in one package,and they have an outview camera so you can see without removing them!
good choice for an interview

Being in Utah, my son and I want to know when you're going to be here. We'll come up from St. George to join you! Also, our club fly-in is on Feb 18-21 and we have one of the most active clubs in Utah. There will be hundreds of people there and some of the worlds best acrobatic pilots as well (both heli and plane). If that matches up with your schedule, we'd love to have you guys down for a day! Thanks again for all you do for the hobby!

I too would like to know the details about your guys' planned visit to Utah. I am a local and would love to fly with all of you.

So, no edit function. And it leaves the comments as "removed" if you remove them mere seconds after posting. That could use a improvement flite test.

Anyway, light rigs are awesome :) Here's Hugo flying with his 300w watercooled rig on his twinstar.

Hopeful Daniel will be able to come to Flite Fest. That would be awesome.
Also, you should see if you can get an interview with MyGeekShow.

ive played around with high-power leds for a long time.
i dont think that it would be possible to put 5 - 100Watt LEDs on a plane.
YOUR PLANE WILL MELT after 5 seconds!

I think you canot even Film it because its to bright .. :D
