Monocopter 13.1

Monocopter 13.0

Prototype of directional control without a servo, just modulating motor power.

12

Flying triangle. Not passively stable, continues to fly in ever increasing circles, eventually crashing.

Monocopter 11.2Y

Can yeet stuff.

Monocopter 11.2R

Can shoot rubber bands.

Monocopter 9.12

The ESC was moved to a different place.

Monocopter 9.11

The MonoCopter Control Unit 1.0 was developed (electronics are now soldered using a prototype board).

Monocopter 9.10

The magnetometer was moved further away from the Arduino to avoid EM interference.

Monocopter 9.09

Bigger foamboard wing.

Monocopter 9.08

A debut of the fibreglass wing and tape wing architecture.

Monocopter 9.07

A flap was placed on the wing in hope to improve directional control. It improved, but still wasn't very good. The wheels were laser-cut out of wood.

Monocopter 9.06

Wheels made of acrylic to increase their lifespan.

Monocopter 9.05

Attempted to use an ultrasonic sensor for automatic altitude stabilisation. It didn't work, the monocopter had some bad crashes.

Monocopter 9.04

Tried an elliptical wing. It worked great.

Monocopter 9.03

Got a faster servo from Savox.

Monocopter 9.02

Tried a trapezium-shaped wing.

Monocopter 9.01

Tried a smaller wing.

Monocopter 9.0

The banana. I discovered that a fuselage made of fibreglass rods connected with string soaked in superglue weighs about as much as a foamboard fuselage but is waaaay stronger.

Monocopter 8

Yet another concept, it didn't take off.

Monocopter 7

This one had 2 wings, I called it Stereocopter. It couldn't take off.

Monocopter 6

I made a custom servo from an old LEGO motor and the electronics from a burnt out servo (looking at you, 5.1). It was fast and strong but very jittery.

Monocopter 5.1

I tried to run the servo at 5.7V from an external regulator to increase its speed, but it was only rated for 5V. It burned out.

Monocopter 5.0

Fuselage designed to structurally keep the battery from getting thrown out of the monocopter (you can guess what happened to 4.2).
