![]() I'm now just waiting for those to show up, ETA is Monday or Tuesday (5/15, 5/16) These are proven reliable and smooth, and should be more than adequate for NAVI. For the time being, in order to hopefully get a test flight in by the Wheels, Wings, and Walkers contest that Ill be entering in, I've ordered TREX Helicopter brand linkages and balls. While I *believe* its possible, it will take a lot more work. I tried and tried, multiple iterations, designs, and permutations, to make 3d printable versions of these. These linkages are one of the most critical components for making this build work. Admittedly, progress slowed to a near stand still for a short time, here's why: I figured since Hackaday just featured me (massive thanks! :D), I should give a bit of an update as to what's going on. All traits that are extremely desirable for a search and rescue volunteer, who doesnt want to carry anymore gear than necessary. You pull NAVI out of your pocket, hold it in the air, and hit the take off button. You dont need to place it on the ground in order to initialize and take off. No arms to fold out, no bolts to tighten in order to lock said arms in place. There were other projects along the way, but these are the most notable, showing major progression in making things smaller and lighter.Īnd now, NAVI. As the name implies, it took a fair bit of inspiration from the DJI Mavic Pro. ![]() Then I started working on the Maviclone, late last year. First I started with a folding quad that was still rather large and heavy, but it all fit more or less into a single backpack. ![]() Since then, I've always had this thing about trying to make them very small, and very portable. Autonomous platforms that carry cameras and have a lot of practical use, compared to your usual model aircraft. I originally started building 'drones' about 4 and a half years ago, before they were called drones.
