Tim Hickey Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hi, Having read through John Stennard's excellent feature article on converting a small indoor quad to look like a Harrier or F-35, I must admit to wanting to have a go. I usually fly RC fixed wing so these small drones are all new to me. The base drone mentioned in the article is a B-03 pro from Boldclash.com. Does anyone know of a similar (suitable) small drone that is available from the UK. Not bothered about FPV. I have looked online and there seem to be hundreds of types but not all have the fan shrouds mentioned in the article. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Jon Robb Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 As a member of our club, John presented a talk on Monday about the history of VTOL. From WW2 to the present day, culminating in him flying a few of these designs around the room. Many of the club members were surprised just how well the models flew. I shall be seeing him Friday so if you would like any more information let me know. They are good fun and a simple build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Hickey Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Thanks for the replies gents. Doc, the drone you pointed to at Menkind looks good but doesn't have the fan shrouds. The shrouds look like a mini EDF unit. Jon, I was wondering if another type of drone would be suitable as the one mentioned on John's article does not seem to be available to order from a UK supplier. Having done some more research I have ordered the following..(link) **LINK** Perhaps you could ask John if this would be suitable. I have a few ideas for different types of aircraft to model, some real , some sci-fi. Thanks again. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Robb Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Speaking to John tonight he said the drone you have purchased will work perfectly. He is also working on a part two of the article so keep an eye out for that. He would like to see your take on the idea once it's finished.

Tim Hickey Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Thanks Jon. Looking forward to part two of the article and will drop a message and some pics on this thread when I have come up with something that looks the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hadaway Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hello Jon Part 2 of the article inspired me to get a B03 and the multi-protocol module from Banggood. I assume this is the correct module, but the B03 is not listed as an option .Does John Stennard have this information please? I agree that the TX supplied is too small and difficult to use smoothly. Thanks for any information you are able to obtain Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Tee Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 One of my clubmates modified his drone years ago to have a "conventional" plane on top of his drone to aid with orientation. Haven't read the article yet so cant compare them. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
