Hardware

Propulsion

Energy is provided by two LiPo batteries 3S 2400mAh connected in parallel.

Note

To obtain correct center of gravity, the two batteries would need to be placed above the R/C receiver. Due to a lack of space, the battery location is awkward, with one battery in the nose and the second one above the wing.

All the electronics is fed with a 5.5V converter module placed behind the RC receiver.

The motors are T-MOTOR MS2216-9, with a KV of 1100. The ESC are EMAX 25A SimonK. The propellers are 10x4.5 inch Aeronaut CAM Carbon light.

Control board

The control board is a mini Pixhawk 4, complemented with its GPS module.

Communication

Telemetry communication is ensured with a Holybro 433MHz telemetry module.
