Installed the new metal gear servos. They work great. They warm up a little too much but I need to keep the volts up to feed these 5 servos in continuous action. Installed the first wings to test, which I already had waiting in my junkyard. I am a little concerned with the wing area being small but ...

This is my second test after the last video and my first successful GPS and altitude lock with some amazing close-ups! A little shaky but from 1:35 minute mark to the end I didn’t touch pitch/roll/yaw. I was in control of the throttle until 3:32 minute mark. GPS is a little over compensating but the...

MonoBot is my project that I will be working on next couple of years. I want to utilize MonoPhan tech in aerial robotics, via use of sensors and Arduino. Below is the first MonoBot unit that I started testing the Baro, GPS, etc with. Its brothers are in the making. The first flight tests went well a...

A part of a fun flight from this weekend. Overall this unit is the best so far. Great power, agility and balance.

I took it to almost half way in transition in this flight. However, it is still very quick even if you just use the pitch forward and not use transition at all.

Thanks...

Here’s the FPV phreak! I installed a cm205 cam on it. It adds about 8grams and reduces the flight time a bit but looks good, flies even better:)

Ok. This is the final design. It looks phreaky sweet!!! Below is a combination of a couple of flights. After the first two, I replaced the thrust vectoring nozzles with new and larger ones. The reason is that when I fly it backwards, it gets into a cyclic motion, losing altitude. I didn’t have this ...

The first flight videos with the new outfit. The new design restricted the airflow a little bit and added about 7 grams. This resulted in a reduced flight time, not using all the juice in the batteries offered. So, I turned the batteries to 90 degrees to the fan axis to provide better airflow and lo...

NanoPhan Rocks!!! The new battery configuration made a huge positive difference, combined with the longer fan body. I also upgraded the ESC by adding a mini heatsink on it, to handle the extra weight (originally it is a superlight multirotor ESC ). Even though I built this for indoors, I felt comfor...

After losing some altitude in the last flight, I increased the surface area of the wings by replacing the upper wings with larger ones. Below video shows how the wings operate and the test flight.

The video below, shows a flight at almost full horizontal. It got there without any problems and didn't speed up too much on the way. I believe the reason for that is the high attack angle of the double wings. When I got to full horizontal though I experienced altitude loss. Not too fast, it was sti...

Thank you very much Luis! I do enjoy working with this multiwii board and tweaking the code here and there! Thank you for following. Here's an update: This unit turned out to be amazingly balanced.

Going back to the original design and applying what I learned along the way. The initial plan was to use the unit as it was with the old split vectoring system but that proved to be less stable and way less efficient. So, I applied the latest 120 degree split thrust vectoring mechanism to the old un...

Thank you sir! Sorry about the video quality. Now it's tome to get a good FPV system to fly it better and get some good videos. Ok, this is more like where I want to go. The new folding wing design.

Upgrades: 1- During the first tests I realized that the 120 degree split vectoring mechanism is not a “nick” champion as much as it is a “yaw” champion. To get over this, the fan body was extended and the distance between the fan and the nozzle was increased by about 1”. 2- Even though extending the...

Yep! I just can’t stop building stuff! I decided to no longer torture my bellowed 70mm edf drone with this project and build a new one.

No worries man! They are valid questions and I like talking about this crab. I use carbon fiber in pretty much all of my units for landing gear and fuselage.

The weight of this 64mm unit is around 650gr with 2 x 1300mah batteries. Flight time is about 4.5 minutes. It's pretty quick but I didn't measure the speed. However, soon it will get as fast as an edf jet... Slowly but surely I am increasing the flight tilt angle...
