TentaMech VTOL Tricopter Project

TentaMech Project - Morrison Aerial Robotics
Platform - VTOL Tricopter
Construction - Hollow moulded Carbon
Wingspan - 2900 mm
Max Thrust 15kgs (6S)
Avionics - Orange Cube - Here Pro GPS - Here Link - RFD 900 - Backup power system.

This build was inspired by the many Nimbus VTOL conversions. I decided to take the same platform and integrate it into a fully moulded carbon airframe.
Initial flight test were conducted on a “plank” using the correct dimensions and currently I am moving all the components into the carbon airframe.
Trying to keep the max weight to around 7kgs with 16,000 mAh. Looking forward to having some fun with this machine. Should have in flying in a couple of weeks.

The metal bolts are temporary and will be replaced by aviation grade nylon fasteners to enable sacrificial shear failure preventing major damage to the D box.

The Tentamech has completed two hours of hover time (tuning) and the first three transitions successfully. I meet Tridge at a conference yesterday and he gave me some great ideas relating to how the transition may be fine tuned for the airframe. Very happy.
