6 inch inverted prop, wooden fuselage quad


I started this project 6-2017 built around the mini vector FC. I can’t find the mini vector at the moment, so I am going with the Matek 722 /20x20mm gps unit, on inav. On YouTube there are video’s about German secret aircraft that might of been, if the war had lasted to 1946. This is my interpretation of a German secret quadcopter. The frame is 320mm with 2207 motors, 2100 3s, crossfire rx and 1.3 video. The frame was 95% complete but I finished the area behind the canopy, tail fin and gps holder that I might put gun barrels on to look like a remote controlled turret. I finished up the fuselage so now I can start with the sheeting. I am thinking about painting it black with German markings for the night fighter look. But a camouflage paint job would look good. I will be putting all of the electronics in a test frame for the inav setup and RTH testing before its maiden flight. Here are some pics.

NIce, I like it. The fuselage is great with the shape too. It sort of has that Jules Verne "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" style look to it.

Nice, reminds me of something out of Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky.

Wow.. It looks fantastic! Like something straight out of fantasy cartoons..

I think that it would look great if you finished it in some kind of a covert op black color

But I also can't stop thinking about how it could look if you went a totally different way. For example, if you painted it in some sort of a cartoonish anime type of finish.
