toothpick canopy (laid back, semi-sealed, 16x16 mount) by ZHaunDK

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

having recieved a gtb 329 frame, just to find out that it doesnt match the picture and doesnt have a 16x16 mount, i decided to make my own canopy and mount. I decided to replicate the tbs podracer format, because it allows the camera to be mounted lower than if the camera was mounted in the front.
Living in denmark, where it's cold and wet, so i have semi-sealed the canopy and have sacraficed a bit of weight to do so. the orginal canopy was 2g, but required metal standoffs to mount, so all in all i expect similar weight, possibly less.
designed for
--caddx baby ratel 2
--16x16mm JHEMCU GHF13
--betafpv air ufl 5.8ghz antenna
--tbs minimortal antenna
measured to fit an r9 mm and zeus nano vtx under the canopy. but any nano reciever/vtx will probably fit.
camera angle is not setup to be adjustable, and fixed at 20 degrees.
Final assembly will only require 4x 10mm m2 bolts to hold the fc and canopy.
the attached image shows a mockup with 10mm motor/prop stacks (based on hglrc 1202.5 motors and gemfan props).
Still waiting on parts for completing this. until i can test it out and adjust, this is only a work in progress. i imagine the middle and bottom will have to be changed.
