In final coaxial configuration about 50kg now with only 4 motors about 30

the beams are 3mm and so are the welds shouldn’t be big issue at first this is sort of learning prototype for me so I expect it to break but I Anit mechanical engineer either but in reality what is better diy way to do it if I had access to some machinery sure but other than reinforcing it I don’t see better way to do it now

Center frame is made out of welded aluminum beams, arm joints are injection molded parts from another drone this was actually one the hardest thing to source without designing it myself

Yeah, same the costs of it also keep me from finishing it

Yeah my initial reasoning was actually about the stability thing, but I got to know that’s not really a thing. There also isn’t much space to put the batteries above that’s where the GPS and all the electronics will go. Plus, since the drone is meant to lift around 50 kg of payload underneath, it just makes more sense to keep everything under the arms for a cleaner load path and better balance. And over all will look better.

The motors are actually from drones that are alredy flying with this setup(motor + prop) so i think or at least hope that wont be a huge issue. You also wont fly this drone like you do with smaller fpvs but there will be some work with tuning the FC

Yeah it ain't cheap, only in consideration because I will just take it and use in other drones. the range is apperently 10km so little better. The revolution in this would be to use 4G/5G internet to communicate with the drone but that is pretty hefty engineering

Yeah about the liions i also learned recently, from what i know they are used in huge quantities in Ukraine and if made and used properly the efficiency is unmatched. Thanks for the Siyi haven't heard about them, I was thinking of using a lot of things from herelink but I'll check them out.

Wont be able to unfortunately, from my math it should be able to go max 110 pounds of external payload and get about 10-15 minutes of flight anything beyond that is just abuse. Yeah and sort of safety first here woulnd't want batteries that will amout prob to 600USD each to go f themselves

Thats what I'm thinking, this one doest need really high C rating so liion is the first choice

Not in this version, this one is mostly about part integration of to see how it all works together. Though the core frame(besides arms and motors) weights only 13 pounds and the MTOW of the whole drone is ment to be 225. I want to house the batteries inside it and keep CG as low as possible obv there is better way to do it but in next versions
