Beautiful plane and a very professional video. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Nathan. Thanks for acknowledging me as a donor. This is an impressively simple and efficient drone. I'm sure we'll be building some of these and experimenting with different modifications. The build video is excellent: it covers everything in detail. Your flight performance numbers are great. A DIY custom li-ion battery pack would indeed extend the flight time and range nicely. I like the idea of a rear-mounted video cam that would have a fully unobstructed view of the ground. I'm eager to see the upcoming iNav settings video for this drone: I need to learn how to use iNav. Keep up the great work, Nathan!

Интересно, насколько возможно покрыть крылья плёнкой солнечных элементов, сейчас, вроде, выпускают такое, чтобы увеличить длительность полёта? С установкой вместо FPV камеры обычной камеры что снимки делает - такой планер можно было бы отлично использовать в геодезических и геологических изысканиях. У нас студенты разрабатывают что-то похожее и даже прототипы используются в степях Астрахани.

Для увеличения продолжительности полета можно запрограммировать автопилот на отключение мотора, когда планер входит в восходящие потоки (термики). В сочетании с солнечными элементами это может дать хороший эффект.

Thanks for sharing. Ideas to economise further, diy boom rods e.g. any type woven fabric, canvas, cotton; coat with pva glue or epoxy resin (poor-mans fibreglass) e.g. wrap fabric around the chosen mould, coat with glue or epoxy resin. Other ideas; make tubes, box sections from printer paper or re-purposed cardboard tube, plastic PVC pipe form ( might require mould release) - coating methods; dip it /brush on/ foam roll/spray. Use similar method to bond all connections and structural reinforcements.

Sir, I love seeing another build up from 'ya, the production quality belies the economical roots of the build, and always a _chill good time._ I wonder, though, if maybe incorporating a carbon wing spar would be a wise (minor) investment? RDQ is a great source. I've laminated foam FT-style wing spars (3:45) in the past with good results, also. There's a bit of wobble at the root, and a good amount of work and TLC I worry for ~¿ô

Love the work you are doing, I am very inspired to make similar planes. So firstly thank you for posting this stuff because it is so helpful. I want to ask, what is your reason for not designing any kind of landing gear? The main thing I wonder is how bad it hurts aerodynamic efficiency for even really light non-retractable gear? Not that this plane needs gear obviously! You and many others clearly do great without it but I am just very curious what your thoughts are since you have so much experience. Thanks again!

@AeroStuffFPV

Ай бұрын

Thanks man! Weird I see this awesome comment 6 months later. The main reason of not using landing gear is additional drag & weight. Since my planes are under 2kg and have an ESC with 'brake' settings (preventing spinning propeller at touchdown) they are designed as 'belly landers' meaning, hand-launch/fuselage-landing. If I design a plane with greater weights than 3kg, then I'm def. using landing gear

How far from the back of the fuse did you start the opening to hold the wing?

Great video Nathan. Can you please make launch videos of the maiden, and in general launch videos of these planes?

Reliance on GPS navigation is a weakness for military applications. A mix of inertial and terrain mapping and recognition is required. The sensors for the terrain mapping also need to be both radar and optical. Match this with A.I. target recognition and selection and you have a winner.
