Today I did a few testflights with different prop setups and one of the setups gives me much more hope for a really stamina setup. I flow 16:30 minutes the first 5 mins really aggressive the rest was in hovering flight. Today the first 2 pieces of frames will be done by waterjet cutting. For tomorrow there is also a plan to produce the motor mounts by CNC milling. With these parts it will be possible to get infos about endurance and stability of the frame. With all this knowledge it will go for further studies of how to get everything to the lowest weight which is possible with this setup.
So different goals achieved right now:
- super slim setup like 35mm height (without battery) CHECK
- flighttimes around 10-15mins or more CHECK
- stabilized cam (I´m sure it will fit but…) OPEN
- superstable setup (if a crash will happen or for packing into a small bag) CHECK
It will not fit in the palm of your hand but gently in the palm of your bag… trust me
see following video but it´s a really early prototype only for testing purposes
