A project log for Project Quadplane

Increasing drone efficiency by integrating a quadcopter into a fixed wing airframe and hoping it doesn't crash. That's the plan anyways.

Today was a bit of a binge day on the whole CAD thing. Autodesk Inventor is currently using about 5 of my 8gb of ram right now, and I say that proudly. The whole system works out to about 11 parts to be 3D printed, with the fuselage and wings being modular. A simple tube wing method is what i'm going after with 1" square mounts on the ends of the wings for a wooden dowel which is what i'm mounting the quadcopter on.
