Retractable Landing gear on DJI Phantom, Blade 350 QR, WK QR 350, Flamewheel, and T-580.
You may have seen my Retractable landing gear videos,1 at a time. But this video is a Compilation of all my 350-550 quads flying, using the same Landing gear/Camera Module on each unit. As previewed on my Vimeo Channel, this is my completely self contained retractable landing gear, receiver and power supply for Quads, Hexrotors and other rotary machines get the gear out of camera view.. It easily switches from one machine to another. When I started experimenting with Quadcopter landing gears last summer, I formulated this design, which I finally got around to implement this month.
The original construction video is on Youtube and many of you may have seen it.
It works fantastic and I am glad I built it.
I can basically put it on anything.
The retracts cost 10 bucks ea fromNitroplanes.com
On another note, Mike Mas, the Editor and CEO of Rotory Magazine has some fantastic footage of him flying several these quads all at once. (At least he didn’t have midair like I did…LOL) Check it out.
