Albabird Canopy for DJI Air Unit

thingiverse

Revised canopy for Albabird FPV model aircraft to take DJI air unit with pan and tilt unit for camera. Canopy has a 15 gram weight penalty over the standard canopy supplied with the model but has much improved drag characteristics and will give improved battery economy for longer flights. The original was printed with Hobbyking Premium X3 pla at 230 degrees, 0.15mm layer height and 25% infill. Supports are turned on and set at 65 degrees. If you set it at less than this, the sides don't print well. The "tongue" that locates the front of the canopy is printed separately to reduce printing time. The tilt platform is specifically designed for a Corona 9g servo and has a splined recess to fit the output shaft on these servos. One word of warning – I use a Matek F765 Wing flight controller in my model. This FC has a built-in switch that allows power to the air unit to be turned off. If you do not have a switching device for the air unit, you need to be careful about how long you leave it powered up but immobile since it gets very hot and will soften the PLA. Following requests, I have added another two versions of the canopy - one for analogue users with no cut out for the DJI Air Unit and another for the DJI Air Unit plus a Gopro Hero 7. I f analogue users also want a recess in the canopy to mount a VTX, that can be easily done.
