That is a great idea to improve efficiency compared to four small rotors. The developer of the ESC founded IQ control."

An underactuated propeller for attitude control in micro air vehicles
We derive thrust, roll, and pitch authority from a single propeller and single motor through an underactuated mechanism embedded in the rotor itself. This allows new types of conventionally-capable micro air vehicles which only require two motors for practical control. This contrasts with the many servos and linkages of conventional helicopters or the many drive motors found in quadrotors. Conventional UAV formats applied to smaller and smaller micro air vehicles lead to significant design…See More

Martin GW commented on Alexandre Mainardi (Nuvem UAV)'s blog post Plane 3.8.0 released"Oh I see they are now called SERVOx_FUNCTION.BTW, please update the tutorial and the screenshots, and please add the following:"Please ensure to press the SAFETY SWITCH to enable the camera trigger". "
Martin GW commented on Alexandre Mainardi (Nuvem UAV)'s blog post Plane 3.8.0 released"I am surprised to see there are no RCx_FUNCTION parameters anymore. I assume you are simplifying the whole thing. So how can I configure the Camera Trigger settings?"

The THOR prototype can transition from hover to fixed-wing cruise mode by rotating its wings into alignment
Conventional multicopter drones are excellent at hovering and VTOL, but they can't cover long distances as efficiently as fixed-wing aircraft. A team of students from the Singapore University of Technology and Design is trying to get the best of both worlds with the Transformable HOvering…
