Hatchet is my 3D printed RC Plane with an autonomous thermal camera turret. This is about its design and first flight attempts. Hatchet is EDF Powered, has deployable wings, and uses X-form control surfaces and thrust vectoring to steer. It is going to be used to film rocket launches from the air! I hope you enjoy this overview of its design. Please let me know what changes you think I should make in order to make this aircraft launch and fly successfully! 0:00 Intro 1:06 Design Overview 7:25 Try Brilliant! 8:36 Materials and Testing 9:33 Foreign Object Damage 10:31 Repairs! 11:26 Launch Attempt 1 12:02 Launch Attempt 2 13:07 Launch Attempt 3 14:09 Improvements 16:21 Outro I do not provide code, CAD or PCB files for my projects.
