Da das Team Drone Tech auch um die sonst so stressige Weihnachtszeit nicht die Füße hochlegt sondern weiterhin die Arbeit an erster Stelle steht gibt es hier einen kleinen Vorgeschmack auf die derzeitige Zusammenarbeit mit unserem fantastischen Kooperationspartner Drone Rescue! Um was es sich bei dieser Zusammenarbeit genau handelt könnt ihr im anschließenden Video etwas genauer erfahren!

Danke Drone Rescue für die Möglichkeit dieser Zusammenarbeit und hoffentlich auf viel weiteres in der Zukunft!

While our colleagues of the DBF Team are overseas fighting for a good rank in the championship (good luck over there, guys!), the Team Drone Tech guys used the now less stressful laboratory environment to roll their sleeves up and get things done.

The main goal of the lab session was to build the teams very first carbon fibre frames themselves! From the designing phase on a laptop, laminating the carbon fibre, cutting the shapes to drilling, sanding and polishing, everything was done by hand (with a little help of the many machines in the lab). And for the first time, as one can see in the pictures below, they did a very good job indeed!

The next step is building the multicopters (in this case they went for a larger scale for a long range multicopter project), testing, tuning and flying! But since there are many other projects currently going on, unfortunately this might take a while. If you wonder what projects are currently under development, stay tuned for further postings!

PS: After work, the team needed some stress relief and get their focus back for studying for upcoming exams so they needed to blow of some steam. How do they manage that? If you guessed “burn through some batteries racing FPV” you already know them very well, that’s exactly what they did!

We are using our study breaks at the end of the semester wisely and working on a test bench for the brushless motors used by our quadcopters. Design is nearly done, just a few more adjustments and a change of the used micro controller. Software is up and running.

Stay tuned for more and don’t try this at home  😉

–> in the video: klausi wants more thrust!!

Due to our flight sessions, we try to catch some epic pictures and videos and created our first official YouTube channel.

When we first came into the drone world we benefited quite a lot of all the videos and blog out there about drones. It’s important to us that we give something back to the community and this is why we decided to upload some videos with a strong focus on tutorials as well as building instructions.

Here are a few ideas of what you can expect from us in the near future:

• more flight sessions
• Engine test bench video for multi-copter motors / props
• cam comparison video for action cams
• completed tutorial on how to build a cheap 250 racer

stay tuned for more, give us thumbs up if you like it and don’t forget to collect the green Goblin’s slime!
