SKY MACHINES
Many of the required items are sourced from Foxtech. Nathan has tried many motors but has settled on the Foxtech 380KV motors as they provide hundreds of hours of reliability. Apart from the odd baring change, his motors see over 450 hours regularly. Frames, props and his Foxtech 145G remote control are also sourced from Foxtech. The US Pixhawk with Mission Planner does flight control duties and the motor speed controllers come from Hobbywing.
The Aerobugs UAV’s are agriculture machines built to be strong, reliable and maintainable.
Regulation
The CASA environment at the time Nathan was putting all this together was still trying to grasp the realities of the speed of innovation. However, they have been supportive in all respects even if it did take a few phone calls and meetings to work through all the issues.
