Kategorie: Project: The Tick

1180gr not optimized. Let’s see how the flightimes will be. I’m excited…

The last weekend we manufactured the last missing parts to get the tick V2 to a first proof. It is now more than 1,5 years ago that we started this tremendous project. Since the start I promoted the project amongst others to the Team Blacksheep to get some feedback. We already made some plans about the successor of the tick to get more flight times but realized that the next version will grow bigger from the frame size like we have right now. But first step is the tick bringing into the air soon to see what is possible with the actual setup.Trust me, there are so much possibilities we already have in sketches but the time is running away with less manpower and our daily work. Here are the last results of the progress.We isolated the power board and get the first part of the carbon fibre gimbal mount.

 

Research is going on… Don´t hesitate the progress is in move with this fuckin´ tiny copter. First testflights with full lift of weight are around 11:30min flight times. The following video was one of the first flights last week. Right now the tick is in optimizing state. The gimbal is missing, and the parameters for the flight have to get figured out. There will come minor changes to the setup because the connections have to get constructed for easy exchange of the arms… The arm setup is still the most important thing so we will get more power into it to make it the most perfect hexa style copter, ever created… DJI be aware hahaha
