DIY Drone joint venture platform


Hi there.


This being my first post and all please bear with me.


Having read through an number of posts on airframes for armature UAV's i'm left a bit baffled.
I do understand that some people are more into electronics and software than building airframes but i find it quite odd that a modified Easystar seems to be the "donor" plane of choice.


I know that the mods are endless and there's even a guy that writes about building and selling Easystar carbon fuselages here but from what i can tell the fuselage and the fact that ailerons are not standard
is the Achilles heel of the Easystar.


Obviously threes no reason to reinvent the wheel so i was thinking along the lines of combining the wings of something like a "BMI Arrow", "AXN Floater jet" or "Dynam Hawksky" (they are all Easystar type planes

but with ailerons) with the fuselage of something like "Penguin-B UAV" or "Team Javelin" which should basically result in a platform as stable as the Easystar but with a lot more room and freedom for payload placement.


Anyways... My point being (although a bit obscured). How about a joint venture. There's loads of brilliant people with tons of experience in here. Why not define a "standard" DIY Drone platform that will suit the majority of projects?


Please let me know you thoughts.

Lets get a list of requirements together and see what happens.


Kindest Regards

  • Hi Stig,

    I followed the discussion referenced by Gary but I don't know what the results are.
    I asked some time ago and I was told a group was working on it...
    So your discussion is a good way to restart this topic which I think is a very interesting one

    Best regards,
    Jean-Claude
  • Thanks Gary

    I don't know how i managed to miss that one.
    Makes me feel just a little clueless.

    I guess an apology is in order.

    Kindest Regards.
