Hi again,

Hereby I'd like to continue my project. As I said earlier, all parts were printed using a Stratasys 3D printer, which uses FDM technology and support material too. These were the parts coming from the printer:

I made a small PCB for the modified USB plug:

USB plug assembled - plug-n-play solution for Mobius!

And finally some fully assembled shots. Now I'm waiting for the yaw motor and the controller to be delivered. After that I'll start testing in PART3. So stay tuned!!!

Best regards

Adrian

    Fantastic job!!!

    That's the spirit, Adrian! Rest assured that I will make a contribution if I print out your design.

    Hi guys, finally I decided to share STL files. So please check out PART2.5!!!
    If you like my work, donation link is in the post too. Cheers!

    Would you be willing to share your STL file for the design?  I'm really interested in working with what you have for another done project I plan to build. Your file would be a big help in get a jump on development for my project.

    Happy New Year!

    Hi, right now I'm nbuilding my X-UAV Talon. The gimbal will be in the nose.

    As soon as my plane is ready, I can do the initial testing in the air.

    I'll post my results in the PART3.

    Adrian, what is the latest on your gimbal? I am looking at doing the same thing with a bigger zoom camera and would be interested to know how you found the "stiffness" of your in the air.

  • Adrián Nagy Hinst November 26, 2014 at 8:58pm

    Yes, that's the question what ariflow will do at that speed.

    @Adrián Nagy Hinst , Oh, I see.  Yes, you did mention the hollow-shaft motor, I guess I didn't understand the significance in relation to the wire routing.

    It would seem to me that the sphere's center-point will move out of alignment when panning; so it would likely not be mounted behind an opening in the fuselage, but hung out in the slipstream (?)

    At 100 kph, this swinging motion and air pressure would effect the handling quite a bit, wouldn't it?

    Looks nice!  You should wrap those external cables in a sleeve, something like this.

    Hello,

    Can you share the STL files for the parts? 

    Looks very good.
