It runs on a folding 60cm X platform with 10mm square cross section aluminum arms - it's a cheap and versatile platform from hobbyking, and spares are available.
This is lifted by 12 or 14" props, spun on 750kV motors.
The whole thing packs down into a length of 8" ID PVC plumbing pipe, making a waterpfoof and almost indestructible case that can fit throw confined spaces and be abused without damaging the quad itself.
A 5Ah 3S battery powers the motors and flight controller, with seperate small batteries for lights, cameras and 2 penlight lasers that assist in range-finding.
At the moment it runs twin recievers and video transmitters - one controlling the craft, and another controlling a gimball camera with live video transmission
The idea is to have modular plates that can be attatched or removed to alter the functionality, these will include:
- A secondary video layer
- Additional lighting for night work
- Additional sensors
- A parachute
- Bumpers and landing gear as required
