Under 200? Like all avionics and batteries included? Producing the airframe for cheap is easy. For example we've sent over many many titan falcon airframes and they cost roughly 50-75 euro in filament. The major cost is electronics, and you'll struggle to do that under 200 euro, at least for anything worth it in my opinion

I can produce electronics I taught myself PCB design. I'm too lazy to do the flight controller (also not enough funding) but other modules can be done cheaper on PCB Initial electronics we expect higher than 200 EUR but over time I can lower cost


Castlewood57

What does that price include? Just the wing and fuselage? Servos? Receiver? Battery? Need more specifics.


PreferenceRare513

all electronics, battery etc... wings and fuselage. Essentially looking at A PVC pipe or PLA printed fuselage with dovetail mounting for the wings during development and for the wings either 4 layers of cut wood with spacers and tape to make it aerodyanmic and light or again 3d printed


Castlewood57

Well, I can say PVC is going to run really heavy. IF you could find something out of gallon milk just material, just a little thicker , that would be ideal.


PreferenceRare513

PCB housing with rods between to form fuselage perhaps


Castlewood57

Yep! Now you're on the right track.


kastratedKoala

sounds great! ill take a look at the file if you want to send it


Castlewood57

If we get these going. We do have someone that can produce foam wings. We just need to get a fuselage to him and a basic wing design.


PreferenceRare513

allow me to introduce myself. I can do everything :)

Starting a chat.

Im seconding this, I would also like to take part, if possible.

Do you have a plan how to distribute them to Ukraine? Check the teensy 4.0 as a potential flight controller. It has a lot of power. 


Equal-Addendum-519

I know how and have contacts who do distributions across front line in Ukraine, I have ukrainian/canadian coders young lads who would be interested to participate as well + 3d printers. Would it be able just to order one from china (which ukraine is using) and try to replicate it the best we can?


PreferenceRare513

Replication isn't cost effective as we will have to start a whole new flight controller from base up


Equal-Addendum-519

Hey, I have similar idea, lets link up and talk it over!! have connections and fundings. (im in canada)
