HeliPlane with Magnetic Servo Split Couplers

thingiverse

The designer has made the controller available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1384166 . Piece C11 is now updated and ready for download as of 3/27/2016. A minor adjustment was made to the zip-tie hole dimension in order to accommodate mounting the BEC next to the receiver. This ongoing development project revolves around creating a mind-influenced RC helicopter that can transform into a plane, enabling tight turns and higher speeds on larger courses. The V3 designed pieces are modular, allowing users to quickly replace broken components by printing extra parts. Magnetic couplers have been integrated to save gearing within servos. For more information on the project, visit dragonflyRC.com, which features build videos and a comprehensive parts list. After over a year of refinement and prototyping, these V3 pieces are now available for download. However, please note that they will not be compatible with any older released pieces, as each V3 piece clearly indicates its version number when printed. The transmitter will be released separately, and instructions can be found at dragonflyRC.com. The controller is accessible here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1384166 .
