Tiny Whoop Launching Pad

thingiverse

WHOA!\nRevved up launching pad for Tiny Whoop, Blade Inductrix or similar high-speed brushed quadcopters. Launching your quad in a slanted forward position allows taking off at a higher speed, eliminating the need to climb before gaining forward momentum.\nUpdate:\n31 Oct 2017\nRevised ball/socket geometry for a tighter joint connection.\nTweaked motor dimple positions for better fitting and stability.\n\nFeatures:\nThe innovative ball joint design allows pivoting up to approximately 20 degrees in any direction.\nThin arms prevent unintentional lifting of your quad by ground effect, especially from idle speed / air mode.\nDimple shaped recesses provide just the right amount of retention without sinking too deeply into the launching pad.\nNotes:\nLaunching at extreme angles can be problematic if your quad is set to Angle / Horizon / auto-leveling modes, launching in Acro / Rate Mode is recommended, or simply do the whole race in Acro - it's thrilling and FUN!\nTest the ability to arm before flight! Default small_angle value in BetaFlight allows arming even when your quad is tilted up to 30 degrees, decrease cant angle or increase small_angle value if you have trouble with arming your quad.\nPrint the upper part upside down for easier print quality.\nRecommended print settings: 20% infill, 5/5/3 top/bottom/perimeters for a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height.\nFeel free to report any issues you encounter with the design in the comment section.\nhttps://youtu.be/C7g4BjCW44s
