Large ELEV-8: 4-foot flight envelope, flies like a scary buzzard!

Hey all,

Making a few placeholders for sharing a project I've been working on: a really large ELEV-8. Daniel has been at my home office for a couple of days and we've stayed up late to build this buzzard. We just finished the maiden flight and have so much to share, so it'll have to unroll over the next few days. Some specifications:
  • (2) 4 amp/hour batteries at 18V
  • 770 KV motors
  • 14" propellers
  • 80A ESCs
  • 48" flight envelope
  • Will carry lunch for five, a dozen Boe-Bots, etc.
I will update the first four posts in this thread with the project, so forum readers can come back to the first four posts for the latest information.

Video, details and drawings to follow. I could probably be talked into making the parts for anybody (this was so much fun!). I'm happy to share every single piece of the project.

I realize a couple of customers are looking for me and I haven't responded. A massive amount of e-mail communication piled up over the last couple of days while I've been messing around. and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

For now, the placeholders.

Sincerely,

Ken Gracey
