I Tried To Make a Drone Using ONLY ONE Tail Propeller!

Everybody:I need two or more to create a vtol Scrapman:one is all I need

11:48 For power output logic, they simply add onto the values, so with two logic blocks set to 1.0 the output will be 2.0, adding a reverse power to that only knocks it down to 1.0.

A single thrust drone battle would be great.

It would be cool to do a battle where everyone starts a fresh campaign and they have an hour to collect as many parts as possible, then you do a battle only using the components you founds.

Vid idea: Carrier battles between 2 carriers over long range launching planes at eachother, where planes can only reload bombs once they reach back to the carrier Edit: carriers would probably need to either be pretty much floating platforms or be multi part to go with trailmakers build restrictions

So many years in and the videos are still getting better

It's funny you uploaded this today. I did something akin to this yesterday. The gyros are game-breaking, really. It trivializes making things stable.

9:40 Flipping the top wedges at the back upside down would probably help it for when you're going forward. More uplift less downlift. 11:39 Having 2 speed sensors means you were sending +2 while your key-press only sent in -1, must be why it didn't work. Very cool little build btw!

You could have saved a lot of weight by removing one of the servos that was touching the propellor. No need to have a servo on both the left and right on that. At 17:38 you could have removed this exact servo without issues, instantly saving 5kg.

Interesting note, with the way you made this creation, the fastest way to move horizontally would be to turn diagonally sideways and hold 2 input buttons, achieving maximum propeller angle and minimum lift

Scrapman: "I wanna make a drone with a single prop" Helicopter: "Am I a joke to you?"

I think you should have a Vtol Battle with the propellers

An evolution race of these would be cool, or some kind of fight

Thank you Sir Scrapman for this wonderful video. Love all of your series, and am always excited to see what you post next.

You should have a drone fight with only 1-3 tail propellers

You guys could do multiplayer racing but you would defently need more thrust. You could only allow two of them or three on top of each other

Video idea: More propellers you use more blocks you have to use. Ex: 1 proeller has no limit, but 2 you have to use 180 blocks, and then 3 260 blacks, or same thing like that.

These latest drone videos make me want to buy the game just to make a drone, these designs seem overcomplicated. I feel like you'd end up with a much more agile craft if you left the thrust static to the body, and rotated the whole craft instead - negating the need for moving parts. With 4 propellers, pitch/roll control is accomplished just with input configuration, you'd need a gyro to control yaw. With a single prop as here, you need 3 gyros, one for each pitch/roll/yaw. If you need stabilisation, put it on a toggle so the pilot can decide when it's needed.

I was accidently listening to dubstep while watching this vid, and I was really into it. Wub wubs and calculating thrust to weight just seem to work well together.

ive always wanted to make vehicles like this, but never knew how to do the logic, could you make a short or something on the logic behind it
