A little whimsy copter based on a PCB frame
- ansible 4y agoNice. I bought the original Crazyflie a very long time ago, when tiny quadcopters were not really a thing yet. I've been meaning to take another look at projects like Ardupilot to try out my own ideas for aircraft, like a VTOL wing that can transition to level flight. So many other projects in the queue...
- stavros 4y agoYou can join our ArduPilot Telegram group if you need help, lately the guys there have been making lots of VTOL planes, must be the fashion now: https://t.me/ArdupilotUsers https://t.me/ArdupilotUsers
- ansible 4y agoThanks. I just like the elegance of the design of non-tiltrotor VTOLs, in the sense that there aren't a lot of extra parts, just two motors and two control surfaces. The downside with most designs is the stability of hovering in a cross-wind. You kind of need to automatically yaw so that the wing is span-wise towards the wind. Otherwise it is difficult to maintain position.
