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…
