Quadcopter Legs

quad5As I was building the new Discovery Pro quadcopter, I realised that it would be better if it had longer legs to accommodate for the fact that the camera tilting mechanism would hit the ground during setup.

Also, it seems like a good idea as well for any rough landing in high grass.

I searched the internet a little and found a nice design that seemed to fit the bill. Also, it would allow me to use the laser cutter. My favourite tool.

I replicated the design using autocad inventor and then exported the face to a DXF file which I then open in the lasercut 5.3. I then send the file to the laser for cutting. Simply position the 3mm plywood at the right level and hit @START@…

I then attached the legs using some zip ties
