Care to design a Global Hawk model? It's the one UAV that we haven't DIY'd ;-)

Sure... if someone is game.

Doing the design is the easy part. Just need someone wanting one and willing to step up for the costs. :)

Got a round-figure estimate? I suspect a number of us have more money than time ;-)

No way really to talk round figures. Laser time gets expensive, as do materials. I make a decent living as a design engineer by day, so I have to keep things realistic on my personal time as well.

If someone likes designing, I don't mind helping out, but scratch drawing a UAV are probably not my #1 way to spend my evenings either. ;)

Funny, I just posted about this - a question on how to scratch design/build a Global Hawk. I think the Global Hawk would be a fantastic project. Maybe we could divide the work. I just need to understand the process better.

Here's a thread on RCGroups with drawings...



Put a 70mm EDF unit on there, and some serious avionics, cameras, etc.

NICE

I guess nobody wanted one after all? Did anybody step up? I would really want a Global Hawk.

I cant believe nobody is building one... The older Predator design is really a bad UAV design for rc due to tip stall behaviors at low speed and landings. A Global Hawk / Predator "C" with its now WIDER fuselage and increased wing loading sure would be an awesome foamy / platform.

I haven't seen any postings from Mike for quite a while. (a couple years?)

Perhaps you should visit his web site...

Not sure if anyone is still following this and interested, but I've got a CO2 laser similar to Mike's. I have a 4'x3' stage though, so I can cut VERY large parts. Feel free to hit me up if you want to discuss it.

Hi all right I'm going to give it a go and I am fluent in 3d design, I have solidworks and CAD to use, have some basic drawings from the internet but does anyone have anything better I can work from, finished product will be available to all, I have five weeks spare and need of a project gna have a go with UAV so this is a good start, airframe looks fine just need some dimensions, maybe a 2d or even details plans I generate in 3d. any help would be great and am willing to keep everyone interested in the loop.
