Propeller Elev-8 robotic quadcopter kit
The ELEV-8 quadcopter is a flying robotic platform propelled by four fixed rotors. Unlike standard helicopters, a quadcopter uses fixed-pitch blades, whose rotor pitch does not vary as the blades rotate: control of vehicle motion is achieved by varying the relative speed of each rotor to change the thrust and torque produced by each.
ELEV-8 uses a HoverFly electronic control board with a Propeller multicore microprocessor to provide stable flight. This system yields a stable platform with no mechanical linkages for a small maneuverable and agile aircraft.
The kit includes all necessary parts apart from R/C radio equipment & a battery. A six channel R/C system is recommended.
The ELEV-8 platform is large enough for outdoor flight and has plenty of room for payload and attachments.
