secant0giveThis seems like a good opportunity to build something or finish off a few old projects. Put together some of those ARfs tucked away inboxes or repair a damaged machine or two.
Post your pictures please
I’ve been tinkering with a new multi-rotor I began to design just before Christmas. I wanted to make something big enough to carry decent payload.
I was thinking of using it for spreading seed on the paddocks over at Streaky Bay.
There's a trend in farming with some crops where you can seed the next crop just before you havest the one that is currently growing so you use the mulch from the first crop to cover the seed for the new crop. The only problem is how to seed without damaging whats already growing. A big multi would solve that.
I was watching a video the other day, I'll see if I can find the link, where they sprayed about 300 acres with 4 big DJI multi-rotors in in just 3 1/2 hours. to imagine the size of that area, just think a piece of land like that is about 6km if you walk around the boundary. Imagine spraying all of that in an afternoon!! There was a team of 3 people two pilots and one support guy. Probably not entirely legal to do here because you can only fly one at once. Also there is quite some CASA red tape in doing arial spraying in Australia. Another case of bureaucracy killing off Australia's innovation in industry.
