Hey gang,
I’ve been thinking of designing a sub250 FPV park flyer for a while now, and have been playing with a variety of ideas in Cad and can never find something that ticks all the boxes. After getting my part107 recently I noticed that there are regs especially for flight over people that include references to prop guards. (Undoubtedly for intended multicopters in sure, but the regulation isn’t specific on that point). The intent here is to make something fun that is in zero way dangerous and complies with all the regs…. So I’m wondering if a sub250 EDF might be the combo we need for “anywhere” fpv fixed wing flying.
My question to you is: is this crazy?
I’m not necessarily looking to design something that is fast… I’m more interested in safety: finger safety on launch, and the ability to belly land without striking the prop, or heaven forbid, it gets flown into someone…. Maybe an EDF is the way to go?
Would be interested in your thoughts and even recommendations
