Nano Talon VTOL V2, Quad Plane

thingiverse

Do you feel the need to start your long range missions from your balcony? Then this beauty is the right choice for you. It takes the Nano Talon PNP version and turns it into a VTOL, with a little help of a few old Quadrocopter parts. Note: read the edits at the bottom to understand how this project came along! What do i need apart from the 3d printed parts?: - Nano Talon PNP, flighttested with FPV etc. already running, preferrably with the "Flat Wing Mod" or the EVO- Version - Matek F405 running on Ardupilot, or a similar FC with at least 8 Servo Outputs and ardupilot capabilities - 4 2204/ 2205 Motors+ ESC´s (4 in 1 or 4 single ones, 25A 20x20 and up recommended ), 5 Inch Props - 12mm Carbon Tubing, 12mm Diameter ( 2x360mm, in my case ) - M3 Screws and Bolts to tighten everything. The motors can be mounted using the original Screws What do i need to print?: - 4x VTOL Motormount------the thing that keeps your motor from running away - 4x Klemme------the thing that keeps your motormount from running away as well - 2x Armklemme-------Brace for the 12mm tubing on the wings Note: this design can be easily adapted for other tube diameters, the Brace f.e. can simply be scaled up, the Motormount is a different story though A few important notes: - i recomend to use a 4 in 1 ESC. Single ESC´s are a mess in the bottom hatch and ther are heavier because of the additional wiring - You add quite a bit of weight doing this conversion, big payload is a nogo! - I turned the motors upside down to get clean air over the wings. that puts the propellers close to the ground however. starting in high grass is a nogo! - an Airspeed sensor is recomended for optimal performance during transitions. GPS Speed is unprecise if its windy! I will add one to the build ASAP. - Im still building this thing, so it can happen that i change things up, Pictures will follow as i build it! this build was inspired by Closus here on Thingy, who had the same idea, but the parts he provided were neither symmetrical nor very sophisticated, shoutout anyways for this great idea. He also has a Video of him taking off, wich should work as a Guideline as long as im locked in my basement, building. Edit 1: building is complete, the Software is still fighting me like an angry toddler. I have removed the building instructions as everybody should know how to put these things together. Edit 2: i have testflown the project, at least i tried. It didnt try to get speed but instead directly switch into airplane mode. That resulted into an very fast descend an unsceduled disassembly from the front of the plane up to the wing. After some gluing i have reversed the conversion and my MT is a normal Long Range plane again as i have some other planes/ projects to work on for now. I have updated the parts list. it works! But not for me for now.
