Aviator & Frodo
Hey Frodo, I've been tinkering with a new drone design that could blast supplies across tough terrain in minutes. Have you ever seen anything like that in your travels?
That sounds impressive, though I’ve never seen anything like it in my travels. If it can get supplies over rough ground quickly, it could help a lot. What’s the power source, and how do you keep it stable in the wind?
Sure thing. It’s powered by a high‑density Li‑Poly pack that gives us about 30 minutes of flight, and we’ve added a small solar panel on the belly to top up while we’re out there. Stability comes from a 6‑axis gyro combo, real‑time wind speed sensor, and a smart autopilot that shifts the rotors to keep the drone level, even when a gust hits. It’s like a tiny, self‑righting delivery robot that can sprint over rough ground.
Sounds like a real marvel. If it can keep its balance in the wind and get a 30‑minute run, that could make a lot of trouble in hard places. Just hope the batteries stay safe and the autopilot doesn’t misfire when you’re in the middle of a storm. Good luck with the trials!
Thanks, Frodo! I’ve run a few dry‑runs and the batteries have held up—no leaks, no overheating. The autopilot’s got a failsafe that drops the payload if it senses a sudden wind spike, so it’s safer than a paper plane in a hurricane. I’ll keep you posted on how it handles the real storms. Stay safe out there!
