Dragonfly 2 - construction paused

Construction of Dragonfly has been paused as I am in the process of moving house.

Dragonfly 2 - construction started

 have started building a second Dragonfly tri-copter.

Dragonfly 2 will be smaller than the original Dragonfly as the spars are made from old cutoffs.  The motor mounts and tail assembly are 3D printed (thanks Bill for the printing!).

 
 The video below shows a servo test of the tail assembly.  The motor has been left off so that the servo & linkage can be seen clearly.

Dragonfly 2

I have started making a second Dragonfly tricopter.  I will be uploading some photos soon.

Dragonfly 2 is smaller than the original Dragonfly (mainly because I just used cut-offs for the spars) and includes some 3D printed parts.

Specifically the motor mounts, the tail rotor assembly and the landing strut feet. These were designed by me in FreeCAD.  The feet were printed by my Brother Alasdair and the other parts were printed by my friend Bill.
