Thread 941086747

I saw where they soak an RC car in WD-40 and let it sit for a few days. It gets absorbed into the plastic and makes it bend instead of brake, you have to see the comparison. Nobody does it for drones and I'm wondering if it's the plastic or whatever. Crashing a drone. like an RC car can be expensive.

You should probably put this in /diy/. Those people will be better equipped to assist you than these /b/ people.

Also, your post says you have a question, then at no point in your post do you ask a question.

You can't make the fans bendy and floppy, the plastic guard around them also needs to be rigid for the same reason. There's also a big difference in stress endured between a toy car tumbling down a slope and a 4lbs filming drone doing a kamikaze dive into a parking lot at terminal velocity.

The more flexible the wing, the less it will resist and push the air downwards, and you'll lose lift. You could lock a rotation on a spring, and the locking part breaks before the wing does, allowing the wing to move. But everything is moving so fast and any mechanism is going to be fragile.

>push the air downwards,
God dam this is painful.
Thats not how they work.

Its a rotating wing. It provides lift by creating an area of low pressure below it that pushes up on the blade.
Its not a fucking hover craft riding on a pillow of air.

No you imbecile, the area of low pressure is above the blade. The air below the blade is comparatively slower and creates HIGH pressure, and once both airflows meet again at the trailing edge of the blade they move DOWN, because the blade produces an UPwards force called lift, and every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
