Announcing the completion of the Raptor 140, the next airplane in the MyGeekShow fleet. Its a major improvement on the very successful Raptor airframe, slightly larger than the current Raptor (140cm wingspan vs 120cm), with a ton of improvements:
Improvements over original Raptor:
Four times the battery capacity (2.2Ah to 8.8Ah)
Two times the motor power output (300W to 600W)
Better servos (9g cheap analog to 11g digital)
Better air flow (exposed to embedded electronics with canopy)
Better water proofing (plastic wrapped to embedded and sealed equipment)
Folding prop (8×4 fixed plastic to 10×6 folding carbon fiber)
Add current sensor (provides live, in flight Volts and Amp draw)
Seperate GPS & Compass (instead of mounted to APM, improves sensor clarity)
Improved Crash Damage Reduction (Batteries secured safely)
Larger and additional Carbon Fiber spars
And more…
