So the plans for the shape of the frame are done about 80%. Today I started to get for the gimbal mounting. Everything looks good so far. I think the gimbal will fit perfectly after I did so much constructions on the frame. I am still waiting for the new motors especially constructed for this setup. They will have 38% more power to lift the whole setup. The last variable to take care will be the battery. If everything fits perfectly on the frame I will do tests with different batteries to get the best efficiency out of the take off weight in relation to the battery weight. At the moment I think 15minutes of flight time should be no problem for this small hexa. Stay tuned to see what the future will bring. Inquiries still accepted for the tick. Anyone who is supporting will get a special offer for a small lightweight and versatile hexarotor not on the market found yet and made by GERMAN construction skills. You know what I mean…

So the TICK is on the way to go for further constructions… the next few days!

The upcoming advantages of the TICK will be:

• full buffered motors (don´t ask how I did this – will be reviewed later)
• full buffered 2D gimbal
• one of the lightest 2D gimbals ever have been seen (with controller, gimbal and gopro 3 black ~170gr, don´t ask how – same as point1)
• toolless motor removal/exchange (important goal for construction but not confirmed right now)
• full carbon fibre (high density) frame
• flight times will maybe around 15 mins (with camera and gimbal)
• super stable flights (even if its windy – already tested)
• fits in nearly every backpack (even without disassembling arms, rotors, propellers or other things)
• superstrong frame materials with longitudinal strength ~3500N/mm²
• small diagonal motor distance – measurements are at the moment around 320mm
• lightweight multirotor (hexarotor) @ ~1000gr (with gopro and battery)
• high powered motors (especially choosed for this setup)
• highend and superslim ESC´s integrated into the arms (measurements 12x23mm)
• OSD
• GPS support if the pilot wants it (adds 30gr to the setup)
• super stable flights, did I mentioned this before 😉
• most parts are stock or modified from stock
• super lightweight and safety soft foam canopy which guards all the modules onboard (in construction for both the up and downside)
• full FPV capable (plans going on for up to 600mW VTX for international usage) – not confirmed at the moment
• cables planned to be integrated to the frame (pcb layout will come in later versions because of the high currents of the motors, but not sure if this will work)
• super slim setup ~41mm without battery (backpack height)
• Gimbal is built into the frame so it is more safe in case of a frontal crash

Anyone who is interested in this setup, never been seen on this planet so far, please feel free to contact me for a reservation if it will go for a series…

Testflights went on today 3 batteries are done from 2200 up to 5800mAh. The TICK can handle everything in this range. So further the tests continue to get the best of power/efficiency setup for it. But everything takes time so I think there will be more facts end of next week when I did the real life flight tests for all the stuff.

Sorry for not posting more pictures right now we are in testing for everything. If there are more facts I will post it as soon as possible…
