================================
Summary of the first field tests of the new product coming soon: a dynamic tilting arms quadcopter 3D printed in carbon fiber.
First three basic modes have been tested and qualitative differences in the flight dynamics are shown in this film. Dynamic tilting is mixed with body inclination via native flight controller algorithms. Working right now in improving the tilting mechanism code and adding features.
Check a sneak peak of the first speed tests here: https://youtu.be/9MJdUPjCAeY Sonn coming with a more detailed video.

This has so much potential

Thanks. I hope uncommon or out-of-the-box approaches like this or your Triclone will start becoming more common
+Pau Mallol Me too Pau this is innovation not replication GREAT WORK!
The question is always the same for every tilt rotor design, “What happens to the servo in a crash.” Metal gear servos are not cheap and are often on backorder. If you can find a way to protect the servo, you will be a success.
We’ve been working hard on reliability and toughness, and keep working on improvements. For instance, we use an analog servo (bit more reliable than digital) with metal gear. Other aspects of the design aimed at either make it tough or mitigating eventual strength issues. In my opinion the cost of those servos are not relevant compared with the overall frame cost. We aim at deliver a quality, higher performance multirotor and besides extensive design and materials investigations, there will be crash tests.
It would seem to me the servo would have to disengage once the arms tilt and arms would have to lock. Almost like a ratchet…..this is Rover is beyond cool.
You should put the tilt on the camera as well, but in the opposite direction of the rotors so you can see where you’re going.
Very interesting technology application. Can wait to see how this evolves.
Very smart,how much does the quad tilt when it’s in flight
You do see where you are going with the tilting system

Right now the body rotates up to 25-30 deg approx. but we are working on mixing tilt servo, elevator and throttle for a customizable flight dynamics. What I can already say is that the acceleration and breaking is greater that anything I’ve seen, especially due to the low mass to move in such manouvers (only arms, no whole body).

That’s so awesome , i can see a lot of people liking this , keep up the great work
Awesome work. So with dynamic tilt does it make the quad easier or harder to control?
It’s just different in my opinion, not more or less difficult. However, the better camera perspective helps feeling more confident I guess.
Thanks, will do!
I’d imagine so. It would definitely be nice not to have to angle the camera where you are looking upward unless you are pitching forward.
Nice video! Where can I get this tilt motion arms kit? This is more effective rather than a stationary 10 degree motor mount. Can you show me how it’s being done?
Thanks
+Ghostwriter972 Thanks. We are starting the pre-order period in 2-3 weeks, we are improving the tilt system programming. From pre-order payment, it can take 1-2 weeks to have it in your hands.
Check this video of preliminary speed tests too:
And the RCG thread on the development: Keep an eye on the RCG post because we are very very soon posting the canopy design and other information! Likewise on Facebook (www.facebook.com/inkonovaconsulting)

Which flight controller are you using? A video to show how to set up tilt rotor/flight controller settings would be useful.
Does anybody know what those “yellow connector’s/reducer’s the motor mount arm’s are connected too?
Thanks for the idea! I’ll get the measurements and print my own!
Do you mix the tilt in with FC or put that direct into the RX and control with mixing?
Good idea I might make one of these for my next project
good idea i think i might make of these for my next project
+Pau Mallol can u offer help on setting up dynamic tilt with tiltflight
Rashann Loftis Send me email to pau.mallol@inkonova.se
Chuckles I saw a concept with just normal electric motors and a pully to turn the arms the props are on
