SO I thought that when someone said that on a hard landing, the skits I had earlier, will bend due to the impact, I re-designed it, and it is impact resistant now.
Did drop it from some height to see the impacts, all is fine :)
Some minor weight was added, but it is worth it.
hey parichay....
my 2 cents.....
motor mounts may break....in case of rough landing....
consider mounting the landing gear on the boom itself.
had initially planned that, didn't have any more holes(changes for another time), so went for the other option. I know they seem that they will break, but i've tried it a bit bow and they're pretty stable ..
added the pic for your refrence....
+ how much weight does this landing gear add to the quad??
@parichya, you have opened 2 different threads in explanation of your landing skid design, You could have better gone with posting improvements in your landing skid design to a single thread, so that readers could know the faults and benefits of each idea, and also fellow forum members can advice improvements or take advantage from your experiments easily.
It's a bad idea to open different threads for a single topic. It won't help either you nor us !
request admins to merge your Landing skid threads.
these threads have to be merged :

@Sooraj- true, I posted it around 3 in the morning, wasn't thinking straight XD. Mods, please merge the two :)

I saw these.
How do they work ? I was told that I need a servo for them .
Will they be able to take the weight of the quad ?
Any video showing that how they work, or in action ?>
anyone ?
Instead, why dont you practice on making a soft landing, they arent that difficult to master.
I believe the product from rcsportz is for a plane. you can anyways hack it to add it to a quad, but a simple smiley ball will solve most of the hard landing problems.
Ashok.P
soft landing is for another purpose .. I want it to look cool, hence want the dynamic retracts :D
now that the reason im doing it is clear,
What im looking for is available at HobbyKing.
How much does it cost to bring the product here ?
Its costs total of 20$
