Drones are a pain, especially mini ones. When you are designing, building (or even reviewing) them, they inevitably fly off in some random direction, inevitably towards your long-suffering dog, hit …read more Continue reading 3D Printed Mini Drone Test Gimbal
The ground-effect (GE) refers to the almost mystical property where the interaction of the airflow around an aircraft’s wing and the ground massively increases efficiency due to the reduction of …read more Continue reading Exploring Ground-Effect With a Quadcopter
In recent years, we’ve seen a few folding-wing drones that can be quickly and easily launched from a tube. The WASP M4-TL tactical UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) takes that same concept and applies it to a military-spec quadcopter.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading WASP M4-TL quadcopter can be folded up and rocket-launched into action
You can readily buy all kinds of quadcopters off the shelf these days, but sometimes it’s more fun to build your own. [Michael Rechtin] did just that, with a hefty design …read more Continue reading Hefty 3D Printed Quadcopter Meets Nasty End
