Cinewhoop made from Eachine Tyro89 components

by mlynch1375

UPDATE 3/23/20: I have created a much lighter version of the frame and top (files named Frame - V2 and Top - V2). The frame is shortened and the ducts are thinner. The weight without battery is now 102-grams, 19-grams lighter that the original. Flight characteristics are better, though the V2 frame is not as strong as the original. It has held up well so far to the minor indoor crashes I've had. ---------------- ------------------ -------------- ------------ ------------ -------------- I'm not as much into the photography end of the hobby as wanting something I could fly outside among our trees and bushes without breaking props on every flight. Cinewhoops do provide great propeller protection.That said, I did include a simple cube mount. I have a Polaroid Cube). Nor was I looking for the kind of performance the Tyro89 provides as stock. I just want (at present) to putter around the yard and stir up a few squirrels. I used what Rimsler Dison did with the 3" version as inspiration: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3492360 And since I had a Tyro89 (2.5" props), I used all the components in this design. Just four parts: 1) Frame (will print on an Ender 2 or larger) 2) Top 3) Camera mount (for Vtx camera) 4) Cube camera mount Again, the electronics are all Tyro89 components, and as with the Tyro89, the esc mounts to the frame and the flight controller mounts at 45 degrees to the top. Assembly notes: * Most hardware is from the Tyro89 kit. You will need a few longer/shorter screws and nuts to hold the camera mount, flight controller, and top plate in place. * The esc uses the plastic standoffs - for the flight controller, cut the rubber shock tubing in half. * Wires are all long enough from stock connectors, but it's close. I suggest connecting everything to the flight controller (just like with the Tyro89 kit), and then mounting the flight controller to the top plate. * I hot melt glued the Vtx to the back of the camera and used hot melt glue to support the Vtx antenna.
