Some remarq
about the original Frame:
This is what a roswell look like when you first buy it.
After some pratice, you will rapidly notice that the main
frame (for me a big piece of shit) break easily in many
places. That's because it was designed for flying indoor.
After gluing together the parts, I decided to replace it
with something stronger. |
Pictures are like thousand
words, so if you need more explanation, feel free to contact
me...
First Idea
: redo the frame in the same material.
OwnshitFrame.jpgMy first
attempt : using the same material as the original frame
("carton plume").
It is really cheap, lightner than CFK but I decide it was
not the way to go.
|
Second idea : use gfk and add glue in some place to improve the
original frame
not tested.
thrird
Idea : do a new one with aluminium tube (instead of CFK, wich is
really too expensive)
Total cost :
- Aluminium pipes : 12 FF
- Epoxy glue (90 seconds) : 35 FF
- Kitchen Aerator : 25 FF
4th idea, build a bigger roswell based on the small one.
On order to reuse the computer board, i will use new
transistor (same reference as the original, it is only for
protecting the board) and dissipator. The circuit board is using
too small printed circuit. So I prefer to make an external power
circuit.

Tired of only being able to fly 3-4 min with your Draganflyer
baby? the new generation of battery: Litium Polymer or LiPo has just
been created for that purpose: extending flying time because of an
unseeen yet capacity to weight ratio. You can now expect on an average
15 minutes of cordless and pure flying fun.

Does the Roswell Flyer use stepper motors are simple DC
motors ?
No it uses cheap mabuchi motor, but each of them is
"drinking" 2-3A, multiply by 4 and you
understand that with 900mAh, you can only fly 4 min...
Do the electronics contain a gyroscope to calculate level
flight ?

Can be bought at www.draganfly.com
for 80€ + shipping costs.
Overall view
The original frame is weak in many places and was
designed more for indoor flying. A lot of people work on
the Roswell Flyer and they all designed their own frame
using carbon pipes. I decided to buy
