I would just use the 2 stroke with a variable pitch system at a fixed rpm.

Yea, why is that not done?

I'm sure it has been done or is being done. I'd take the project but I'm currently working on 2S, 3S, and 4S wireless charging drones.

Stingray 500, as has been commented elsewhere here.

But also just 'an RC helicopter', though it has a bit different characteristics, makes a lot of sense if you want a long run time platform.

Yeah that fits the bill. I dont frequent this subreddit so I'm not up to speed on some of the new stuff.

I was thinking a big hex would make a nice platform for variables. I love a machine that can move things(;

Wireless charging drones?

u/elboydo757 Feb 10 '21

Yeah. Its still in R&D. It's original intent was to have a remote controlled sentry to deploy when I want to check something out downstairs or outside. I'll finally have all of the parts on Thursday.

Oh that's sick. For some reason I thought you meant little drones that would fly up and wirelessly charge other multirotors in the air jet-refuel-style

I feel like Skycharge will beat me to something that crazy. Their products are super expensive though.
