Starting to work on this stretched Mavic project. It's work in progress, so any ideas would be welcomed.
I started it as a lark, with all the stretch limos I see. But @dirkclod mentioned that it might be a nice way to mount extra batteries to increase flight time. If everything works out, I think I might go with 1 smart battery and 2 dumb lipos wired in. Will fly on M2 props, as soon as I extend the front and rear arms.
If this works as a frame, I might just start making them for people, so that the batteries could be kept inboard, with an external charge port for the dumb lipos. Smart battery would be removable as normal for charging.
Thoughts?
