Paradrone : a paraglider drone

Posted by Roman on June 9, 2010 at 5:00am
Hello,
here is my project : an autonomous in thermal drone.
No motor, able to use the only thermal energy to climb.
I started this project 2 month ago, I did the first glider prototype and pod:

And did my first try with non-autonomous flight :

Now the pod has cam and 2.4ghz emitter and I finished my interface computer->DX6i in order to drive everything...

next to come.

    hope to have some paraglider to sell at the end of summer,
    Maybe I'll sell this one as an used one, but there is a defect I made in sewing that I would like to remove before (even if it is flying well with it).

    Do you have web site to market your paraglider?
    When are you going to start selling it? When can we order?

    I'm planing on building paraglider for sale, don't have a fixed price now.

    This looks very cool!
    Where you have got your paragglider/parafoil from? And how much it cost?
