This isn't "Flite Test" related but I thought some of you might be interested in seeing my latest build.
I actually started this build about 2 years ago and just finished it. I got so engrossed in other projects that I simply put this build on the shelf and forgot about it. Then this Corona Virus came along and the Governor started the Stay At Home order. I decided to take this time at home to finish the Gemini v2 UAV.
Here is a list of the electronics used:
2 Eflight Power 15 motors
2 Castle Creations 50amp esc
1 Castle Creations 20amp BEC Pro
1 Matek F405wing flight controller (which also supplies OSD for the pan/tilt camera on the front for the pilot, me)
1 Omnibus F4 v2 Pro flight controller (which only supplies OSD for the pan/tilt camera on the belly for the co-pilot)
2 M8N Ublox GPS modules (one for each FC)
1 FrSky X8R receiver for the pilot
1 Spektrum AR600 rx for the co-pilot
7 Corona DS538HV servos (2 ailerons, 2 elevator, 2 rudder, 1 steerable nose gear)
2 smaller servos that operate the air brakes (i forget what brand they are)
2 HXT900 servos (wing mounted cargo droppers)
2 Runcam Eagle FPV cameras
2 Lumenier TX5G6R 5.8ghz vtx
6 3S 5000mah 45C lipo batteries
2 APC 13x8 two blade propellers
I think thats about it, lol. I just finished the build, to 100%, yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to fly it yet. Although I did list the batteries, above, I haven't ordered them yet. I need to wait until the Stay At Home order is lifted and local parks (and the local flying club) to open. Something that I've considered, to be sure that I have enough open area, I might just take the Gemini v2 UAV to the AMA Headquarters and use their WIDE open fields. I'm going to be so nervous flying this monster. I'm gonna want LOTS of open area until I get comfortable with it.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pics. Feel free to ask any questions.
