Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress.
Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!
hexacopter/ octocopter landing gear and 2 axis gimble
Description
self leveling gimble and landing gear made from carbon fiber arrows, 3 servos and printed parts
Instructions
parts needed
4 10x5mm ball bearing (i found them at a hobby store "duratrax DTXC1535" bearings. they were 4 bucks for 2 i think.
1 box of carbon fiber arrows. I got them at sportsmans warehouse "Warrior 400 1/2 DZ. HP-Vanes model # WAR400A26
3 HS81MG or equivalent hobbyking servos (may not be big enough)
2 round 35.25mm round servo horns
1 y servo extension cable with a reverser switch for one lead. (you can use a standard y splitter and modify one servo to run in reverse)
youtube.com/watch?v=EK_FdRTenl0 that is what i did to reverse one of mine.
print gopro holder (tall for use with case or short when using just the camera)
print gimbal arms
print 2 x landing legs
print 2x landing gear
print one goprohelimount
cut arrows to size you want (i didnt measure them)
i printed mine with 2-3 shells and 10-18% infill.
this is a work in progress, all the non printed parts for this will work for the next version but V2 is smaller and lighter. it will also have various mounts for different cameras.
connect servos to gyro stabilized receiver in heli.
