BirdKit's modular ornithopter gearbox makes it much easier
to build a large RC ornithopter on your own. This is the same
gearbox that is included with the new Crossbow
2 ornithopter kit.
The
ornithopter gearbox is 3 inches tall. It's suitable for RC
ornithopters weighing about 1 pound (0.5kg) with a 4 to 7
foot wingspan. The gearbox is designed to fit in a hollow
fuselage. You can build your own fuselage using traditional
balsa wood construction, and the Crossbow 2 kit features a
lightweight fiberglass body.
The
carbon fiber studs on the gearbox have a 0.240 inch diameter,
designed to fit Sky Shark 2PT wing spars available here
and included with the Crossbow 2 kit. The gearbox assembles
quickly with screws. The gearbox sides are made of durable
G10 composite material, and ball bearings are used throughout.
The
gearbox is sold with a powerful brushless motor that is matched
to the gearbox. The motor may differ from the photos/video.
A 3 cell lithium polymer battery is recommended. The
gearbox comes with a set of five pinion gears: 16, 18, 20,
22, and 24 teeth. This allows a range of gear ratios from
28:1 to 42:1.
Building
your own ornithopter is much easier with the ready made gearbox.
