BirdKit's modular ornithopter gearbox makes it much easier
to build a large RC ornithopter on your own.
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 a fiberglass
body is also available.
The
carbon fiber studs on the gearbox have a 0.240 inch diameter
that will fit our carbon fiber hollow wing
spars. The gearbox assembles quickly with screws. The
gearbox sides are made of a durable G10 composite material,
and ball bearings are used throughout.
The
gearbox comes with a set of five pinion gears (16, 18, 20,
22, and 24 teeth) so you can select the best gear ratio for
your particular ornithopter. This allows a range of gear ratios
from 28:1 to 42:1. Use a smaller pinion gear for slower flapping,
larger wings. Use a large pinion gear for small wings and
more rapid flapping. The
available ratios can accommodate a 4 to 7 foot wingspan.
All
gearboxes are sold with a powerful brushless motor that is
matched to the gearbox. Motor may differ from photos/video.
A 3 cell lithium polymer battery is recommended.
Building
your own ornithopter is much easier with this ready made gearbox.
