Thanks Ray, much appreciated, wife regards it as just another one of my 'things'. Lol. She has seen a few.......
I also thought Wasp-copter could work too😁
I was hoping to fly it outside but its a bit windy and I just crashed jetranger half hour ago. Lol. These photos show that the dog was not too keen, but the cat was showing an interest.
And a couple of bright sunlight pics. It sure stands out. It joins the other animal rc projects I have built, rc duck decoy(only one I dont have a photo of), shark fin (2 versions), full size eagle and jackdaw, pteranodon( it was piggy back on the quad, it wasnt built in, it was built with intention of going on it, though. DH108 swallow? Lol.
I have been meaning to mention that these quads have a feature that I do not want to use, its ok to use on my dogcopter, but for the seaknight, jetranger and wasp, I want to stay well away from the 'flip' button, I am pretty sure this wouldnt end good, seaknight would probably lose the two rotor masts during the maneuver, through the props probably, small bits of magnets hold the masts on. The jetranger tailboom would slow the flip, losing loads of height in the process. Wasp leg drag? Dunno, it might do it better than the other 2. I may work up to trying it one day but for now, I am happy to just fly about trying to look realistic.
Well happy with all 3 of them, the jetranger was still suffering from tailslide, resulting in a reverse into the ground from 4 feet up, broke off the skid tip again. Thats the only damage. Popped the hatch off, its only held by paint fit! Need to fix it properly soon. The fin also knocked off, it is held by a magnet and two locating pegs, works perfectly. It was breezy and I was turning downwind of myself, definitely doesn't help.
The quadcopters for these 3 projects cost me 36 quid, ( I bought 5 for £60) and I can properly exercise my dog while having fun as well (and one for spares) ! Amazing value.
