So... what's on your bench at the moment?

Oh good, that’s what’s in my plane.

“I know if I read this, I’d never be confident with anything flying with one”….:thinking:

Little update here… ready for a test run at the weekend i hope all being well.

Yes and it is literally mentioned for about 2 minutes.

Anyway, I’ll save you the effort.

Look up RotorHazard.

Ah an fpv lap timing system, so you’re going to make your own?

Yes indeed. I went to a whoop race on Sunday and the whole lap timing thing intrigued me. Then when JB mentioned this system I looked and found I had a good portion of the components already.

Nice one! Keep us updated on how it’s going :smiley:

Just 3d printing a prototype frame for some titanium arms I have. When I get it right, I’ll get them cut into 2mm carbon fibre.

What are you going to print them with? PETG or ABS ?

As its a prototype for fitting purposes, its some low quality pla I have. I see no point in flying a quad with metal arms and a plastic body :grimacing:

Print it in TPU Karl and you can call it The Frantic Flapper

spoil sport :laughing: :laughing:

How big is it going to be Karl? I would love to design my own frame. Can’t wait to see how this turns out :star_struck:

Frantic Flapper? Spoil sport? I will ignore both your infidelious comments.

It will be the same size as my old one. A 210mm frame, 5" props.

The Frantic Flapper could be an unusual entry into the Wacky and Weird drone build comp. I wonder if it would be possible to make it fly? :thinking:

Good luck tuning out the oscillations :rofl:
