areo-tech DR-130 reconnaissance drone

59.7k PapaKernels  4.2 years ago

Sorry I haven't been uploading lately (school right?) But this is what I have been working on, a photo-reconaissance drone! It was a fun little project and I like what came out though it was supposed to be an actual civilian aircraft. So the specs
1.Topspeed- 310mph (but realistically it more like 280)
2.Service ceiling- from 15-20,000ft
3.max takeoff speed- 250mph
4.max landing speed- 150mph or lower( haven't done to much testing)

Take off procedure
1. Set throttle to full and put a slight bit of yaw to the right( may take some practice to get a perfect takeoff)
2. Wait til 250mph and pull up
3. Retract gear
Landing procedure
1. Set throttle to around40-50%
2. Extend gear
3. Be very smooth with your landing ( might take some practice)
WARNING HARD LANDINGS WILL DESTROY THE PROP

    Looks interesting. Flies really weird tho. Like it's a bit bouncy in every aspects. Landing gears are a bit weak too
