XRace360 Quadcopter. The XRace360 is a sleek and lightweight quadcopter frame designed for the 250mm racing class, engineered using Autodesks Fusion 360 software. As Quadrocopter Races continue to gain popularity, I created one to experience exhilarating aerial fun. My goal was to develop a sturdy yet featherweight frame that's easy to manufacture at minimal costs. Therefore, I decided on a design that can be laser-cut and 3D printed, accommodating enough space for a FPV (First Person View) system and additional hardware like GPS, a Telemetry transmitter, and 4K Cameras. I envision the frame featuring stealthy optics similar to those found in high-tech aircraft like the F-117A Nighthawk or perhaps inspired by DJI's Inspire drone. To create this magnificent copter: 3D print the 250mm Frame in ABS or Nylon with an infill rate exceeding 40% and a honeycomb pattern for optimal durability. Utilize: Micro HKPilot Mega Flight Controller Ardupilots APM 3.2 Software Power the Quadcopter with: 4x Multistar 2206 2150KV Baby Beast V2 Brushless Motors 4x Afro Speed Controllers (equipped with SimonK Firmware) Propel forward with: 4x 5030 5-inch Composite or Carbon Propellers Telemetry Kit essentials: FrSky Reciever with a Telemetry port ? x 1300mAh - 1800mAh 3S Zippy LiPo Battery (configuration varies depending on preferences) LEA-6H GPS with Compass 915Mhz Telemetry Kit 5.8G Video Transmission System (FPV) equipped with Cloverleaf antennas and ground station GoPro Hero Camera Flashing Lights Equipped with the mentioned hardware, one can effortlessly program this copter for autonomous flight. Configure waypoints or a 'follow me' function to unleash the full potential of the XRace360. Experience seamless control with: RTL (return to launch) feature Loiter mode This remarkable racing quadcopter boasts numerous benefits, including high transportability and impressive speeds. Discover its true capabilities: Measuring only 460 grams when fully assembled (excluding additional hardware) Electronic components cost approximately €200. With a 1300mAh battery, it achieves flight times ranging from three to ten minutes. At its peak speed, the XRace360 can reach up to 70 km/h with a climb rate of at least 10m/s.
