Peace Drone scratchbuilt collapsible FPV platform

Here's an idea for a collapsible canard planform UAV/FPV aircraft I designed.  It is scratchbuilt out of Dollar Tree foamboard, packing tape, and hot glue.  It weighs 1500g AUW with a GoPro and basic FPV setup for a 10 minute flight.  Tested with 500g additional payload.  60" wingspan, collapses to 32" x 8" x 8" package for transport.  Pusher powerplant places all the flight electronics in the rear and a detachable nose pod houses the FPV gear.  Takes about 4 hours to build from scratch.  There are a few of them flying around with good success.

  • I like the idea, and it is cheap to build.  Have a few ideas for carrying different equipment as a payload depending on what I want to do and your pods will make it easy just to take one plane and 2 or 3 different "pods" to my flying area depending on what I want to do.

    Thank for the videos,
