Hi There dear followers,
I get many questions about what the changes are on the V2 version.
We changed some parts with PA 2200 nylon carefully processed using Selective Laser Sintering, this material is very strong and durable and produced on the best High-End 3D printing machines available, the advantage is that we can use less parts on some places and other parts will be lighter then the GFK/POM parts used on de V1, also this new parts will be more crash resistant because its virtually unbreakable, all the PA 2200 parts will be produced in the color RED because we think it looks nicer than the standard white and its a good looking combination with the black carbon
More info about the material PA2200 info
Witch parts are changed,
POM round feet's
gfk wiredamper supports
clamps on the frame and gfk plug system
gfk plugs on the arms
weight advantage +/- 125 gram (10% on the full options kit)
Some renders of the new plug system,
Greetings,
Mario/Pieter

The new V2 frame,
New arm mounting system with intergradet plug system.
MK and DJI mounting holes intergradet in top plate.
Two arrows for flight direction in top and bottom plate.
The 6 screws from the ESC standoff's now attainable thru bottom plate.
Bigger center hole in top plate.
Mounting holes for the dome fixing system now also in top plate for higher mounting position.
More holes in bottom plate for easy cabling to gimbal.
Lighter without loosing strength.

Thanks Gunter
Carbon booms are 20mm, and yes indeed you loosen two loc-nuts and take the arm out without worries about the wiring.

Thanks Boris,
Indeed the V12 was a special for a German guy, standard is 3 motor connections + 2 small light/buzzer connectors per arm.

Shoot a test video without the active stabilisation from the pillock, zo the tilt and roll axis from the mount where locked by the mechanical resistance from the servos without power.
The only thing between the flexacopter and the mount are the wire dampers.
The video is stabilised with Final Cut Pro

Today I made a remote shutter control with Pieter so that we can make pictures also.
First shoot on 120m in burst mode 430 photos total in one flight.
Some samples including a link to the original file in 4976x2800

Because I was not happy with the low gear ratio of the tilt axel from the AV-130 mount Pieter created a new 20T servo pulley from carbon for me, the standard pulley is 32T whats give a gear ratio of 2,5:1, now I have a ratio of 4:1 what almost doubles the resolution
The result is that there is more tranquility on the tilt axel.
Test shot with the 4:1 ratio,
