With the upper drone re-rendered in alloy to up the stiffness, it's off to the paint shop to be resprayed in black. This drone has been now been built thrice: twice in alloy and once in plastic extrusion. The lower drone retains its all-plastic construction in view of the fact that its will be providing a constant force of lift at its four corners, which will not result in the same twisting moments. A benefit of ascribing collective lift to one of the drones and cyclic to the other is that the former can be run efficiently at a higher power setting, as no differential is required between any one motor relative to another.
And yes, it is the UK's first kit-built Velocity SE that's taking shape in the background; Burt (Rutan) like the Buckminster of previous post being another formative influence.
