Cannot use combustion engines.
Planning
At first we wanted to build a helicopter but we weren’t able to find the parts needed to build one ourselves that meets the requirements, so we switched to a plane design.
Design
Our plane is going to be a re-skinned GWS Slow stick model to look like a bird(Dave’s idea) along with some slight technical changes to the model’s body in terms of functionality.
Part cost/list
Syma RC Helicopter – Yellow - 20.25 2.4G Fly-Sky 6 Channel - 32.70 usd Dynam Brushless - 24.66 usd Sky Lipo 1300mAh(battery) - 13.20 usd Slow Stick Airplane - 30.56 usd Total – 121.37 usd
Changed Technical Specifications
Removed small matter from certain parts from the plane to adjust the plane’s weight.
We have a larger battery allowing for a longer flight time.
Our camera mount features a large opening ended with a small exit to allow increased pressure for whatever is inside(the camera).
