Landing skid for F450 style quad. Designed in OpenSCAD. Latest version will always be on github: https://github.com/beckdac/f450_landing_skid
I used carbon fiber arrow shafts for the cross bars after stripping the fletching, nock, and tips, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PDAOHPQ . The padding is pipe insulation from the local hardware store wrapped with warning tape. Gives about 13.
5cm vertical landing clearance with 16cm width between skids.
Printed with 20% infill in PLA. The idea is that this should break first, absorbing the impact of a hard landing, and not your quad. The whole rig with arrow shafts and 3d printed parts weighs 64g (56 for the printed parts). I broke a set of skids in a 40 foot fall but the quad was fine, otherwise.
