Flying R2-D2 or SpaceX Falcon 9? Both - RC coaxial dualcopter
The second generation of my 3D printed coaxial dualcopter is here! And this time it works almost as I wanted.
Just watch the video
On the more technical details:
- It runs INAV 2.0 with a custom mixer
- Thrust and yaw control is provided by 2 counter rotating propellers
- Upper motor is 2205 2300KV with 5x4.5x3 propeller rotation in CW direction
- Lower motor is 2205 2600KV with 4x4.5x3 propellers rotating CCW
- Control surfaces are rotated 45 degrees from the long axis to fit servos
flight controller is also 45 degrees rotated - Any 9g servos will do
- runs on the 4S battery that has to be on the top of the device
- All 3D printed parts can be downloaded from Thingiverse
Required parts:
- 2205 2300KV brushless motor
- 2205 2600KV brushless motor (2300 also will do but will have less yaw authority)
- 5x54.5x3 propeller
- 4x4.5x3 propeller
- 2 14mm carbon pipes (12mm internal diameter), each around 270mm long
- 2 2g servos
- 3M bolts to secure the motors
- good adhesive tape to make control surface hinges
- pushrods
- hot glue
- flight controller compatible with INAV
- radio receiver
