MES - Reconfigurable Modular Frame
The Multirotor Erector Set (MES) - Reconfigurable Frame is an all-in-one frame designed to allow the user to easily experiment with a variety of different frame designs, without having to invest in a variety of custom frames. The frame is based on the M.E.S. system which uses aluminum clamps, G10 plates and carbon fiber tubing. Each of the designs listed below can vary in terms of arm lengths, motor types, landing gear length and more.
Applications
- UAV / drone / multirotor education
- Sensor experimentation
- Design & payload optimization
Features
- Mounting for one or two batteries
- Selection of different carbon fiber tube lengths
- Removable landing gear
- Variety of multi-purpose mounting mounts
- Many designs allow for folding arms and removable landing gear
- Side mounted ESC for easy access
- Wiring within tubing
