"Hi Ravi,
The objective is to sell it as a complete surveying product. Are you planning to use the frame for general flying or do you have any specific use case?"

"Thanks Nitesh.
Not yet. Right now the focus is just to have a photogrammetry tool. Something like sensefly eBee. But yes with few modifications in the design a camera can be mounted in the nose for FPV flying."

"It is two directional CF so specific strength is greater than that of aluminum. It has crashed from height of 15-20m on plain ground and has survived with just few scratches (it was a nose dive). EPP will not just bite the dust it will become the…"
"Hand launch works pretty good. Using this as of now -https://www.amazon.in/Canon-125-HS-Digital-Optical/dp/B007RAE674. Any suggestions for better cameras are welcome.
PS: This is an alpha prototype."

So I have been working on this for a while now. It is designed for aerial photography/surveying. Carbon fiber flying wing, quite durable. Had an excellent vendor work on this (manufacturing here is much cheaper in India). Here are some…
"It's still unknown. We are still deciding several other features. Once we are done with that and few other things, we will estimate the market price. "
"Thanks Daniel. Yes, we are being really pedantic and doing whatever we can to ensure that we reach the target flight time. "
"Having a 4 rotor config and keep two them at back, shifts the CG significantly aft. I worked on such project, and it was a problem indeed. No wonder, they have kept the batteries at the nose. It won't be pretty when it crashes against the nose. "
Hello all! We are a team drone enthusiasts and we have been working on a conceptual drone project for while. At the top is a picture of the concept we have in mind. The plan is to design a drone which stands out from the others in the market in the…
"Thanks man! I recently found it out that these are in fact really cheap! I have already ordered one. :)"
"There are two causes of the inefficiency-
a) The downwash from the top prop, lessens the effective angle of attack of the bottom prop, reducing the thrust generated (at the same speed). To gain the same thrust bottom prop will rotate faster and at…"

"Yep! I haven't mention that explicitly- that this efficiency decrease holds true for coax rotors of same size and pitch. That why I have mentioned that I am working on the optimizing the pitch and size of the bottom prop.
Anyway, I will make it…"

You know what’s better than flying? Hovering, just levitating mystically through the air and keeping it still. And it’s one of the reasons why the multi-copters enrapture me to certain a degree more than the other flying aircrafts.Few days back I…
