The Parallax ELEV-8 Quad copter UAV Kit is a flying robotic platform that is lifted and propelled by four fixed rotors. There are no fixed wings. All of the lift is created from the rotors. Unlike standard helicopters a quad copter uses fixed-pitch blades, whose rotor pitch does not vary as the blades rotate control of vehicle motion is achieved by varying the relative speed of each rotor to change the thrust and torque produced by each. The quad copter uses a Hoverfly board with a Propeller multicore microprocessor to electronically control stabilization of the aircraft. The benefits to this system are a stable platform, with no mechanical linkages for a small maneuverable and agile aircraft.
The kit provides an inexpensive way to get involved in the quad copter arena. The kit includes frame, mounting hardware, motors, speed controllers, propellers and the control board for flight stabilization. (The only thing you need to provide is the RC radio equipment, battery). A six channel RC radio is recommended. The ELEV-8 platform is large enough for outdoor flight and has plenty of room for payload and attachments (up to 2 lbs.).
Features:
• Open under body for camera mounting options
• Open Source design files available online
• Highly modifiable, for custom additions
• Common 4-40 hardware
• Modular frame for fast repair
• Protective motor mounts
• ELEV-8 platform is large enough for outdoor flight
• Plenty of room for payload
• Small maneuverable and agile aircraft
