predator missile...kinda
 

I had a idea. If i where to take a r.c helicopter a good one not a crap radio shack one put a small web cam and usb transmitter for video and old speed loader with something to open the feeder on it and a tornado impact gernade with another release on it to drop the grenade. Its only in the theroy stage but i drew a crude diagram. If it is battle ready further work will go in to it if not well i had anonther idea what uses a ebb pistol.

From what people have stated before when trying to us RC in airsoft, is that they spent moe time piloting the thing instead of playing.

your probally right but i still got two years before i can even start playing so it might be worth building

Hey man, if you enjoy doing it don't let anyone else tell you that you won't like it. Let us know how it turns out.

thanks man i might even be able to sell them one day to

RC helicopters cant take alot of weight they only really generate enough lift to get themselfs of the ground but depends on what you buy of course...

The price isnt to bad either

now thats what im talking about
 

as soon as i can get my hands on one ile start one the rig plus the hollow body makes it easier to strap every thing in to it

uhh you ready for your shiny piece of nice equipment to get shot at ?

ive preempted that something like that would happen so im taking the liberty to revamping the design

now that is some expensive shit

not to mention anything large in a copter should not be flown around people by a amateur. A large rotor chopper can do serious damage if lost control of. I have been working on a air craft that has a bomb door that drops BB's. Rule at the field is not allowed to be shot at if it gets brought out. It has never been used though because of issues with runways and runtimes.

BTW a small scale copter can only lift about 4 ounces. you would have to go to something about a 50 size to get the kind of lift you need... youtube it and tell me honestly if you want to risk that being flown around people. Also .... you think airsoft is expensive.... RC aircraft makes airsoft look like super cheap lol.

Wow!

I just want that Pred... soo nice kit for that price! Dirt cheap.

Also, RC helis have about 5:1 power ratio... the good ones can lift almost 5 times their weight. A very basic 450 class electric heli can lift 2-3 tornados + a remote camera and head tracking system (there are some that just require you to add a camera sold for about 200$).

You can also add a co-pilot system, with altimeter, 3-axis accelerometer, gyros and GPS. A no brainer can fly it... and it hold position with the GPS...


Edit:

My heli could lift a bunch of stuff... but having it shot is not in my plans:

If you budget is under 500$, go with a foam plane such as that:

With a bit of modifications, one like that can carry a tornado or a little bag of BB quite easy.

wont the grenade smokes someone in the head?

aslong as i balance it well i should be able to get 2 or three tornados on it plus it can make a good scout and if any one shoots it they should be ready to get three mac 11 mags straight to the nads

WoW figures... RC planes... price tags........ do you own a hobby shop?

Yeah kinda...

Id love to put one of those head tracker units on my gun, just poke it around a corner and you have a full veiw of your destination, before you put yourself in danger.

Yeah... but not really...

The head tracking is made so that you turn your head when you pilot the heli/plane with an LCD attached to your head. Basically, it will turn the camera inside the cockpit just like you do with your head. For your use, you want to have an LCD on the gun with a cam at the very when. You can manually turn the cam to the side to see without poking your head out. If you use a head tracking, you will look at the wall with your gun pointing out...

i did a test with one of my helecopters i was able to lift one tornado and a fullley loaded speed loader

Yep, that's why this won't be allowed on the field unless everyone is wearing a lot of head protection.

But a trap door with a spreader and 2000ish BB can do the job properly...

Yup, that's definitely fine for sure. I would be PISSED if a huge ass Tornado nade hit me at terminal velocity then blew up in the face at like 900PSI or some shit like that. LOL!

Id probably pay to see that :D

i would too and then too see some one run out and point and laugh as i put him in a wrist lock lol. GBear this is gunna go on forever hahaha

We all know you're the only one who'll be in a wrist lock. LOL.

how about just carpet bombing them with and RC plane and a functional bomb bay door and about 2000-3000 crappy tire BBS

That goes too.

But to make a viable plane, you will need at least a 35-40" wing... very hard to carry on the field.

Best I have found so far is a tricopter... one properly built will be able to fold in a 4"x4"x20" box and can lift around 2-3 POUNDS. That is about 5000 BBs... with power to spare.

And it flies like a coaxial helicopter, can be fitted (should be) with a on-board flight control, gyros, accelerometers, barometer and 14-lock GPS. Add a 7-8ch. radio to that and you got a UAV with head tracking and fully stable/useable on the field. And can be carried in a solid box built into say... a hydra pack for field deployment. The remote fits in a boxmag pouch.

What happens when it crashes and hits someone?

RC things in the air are hard to control and build. It's better to make an unmanned sentry bot or something:

You should probably have a disable switch on the back that someone can run up to or shoot to make it gameable.

Easy, it weights about 20 oz... it is about the same as receiving a tennis ball in the face. Hurts, but nothing insanely painful.

Plus the plane is made out of foam, it will self-destruct (if not already, since it takes a LOT to down one of theses buggers). If you use an EFD or pusher, the prop can't hit anybody (EFD is an electric jet turbine and pushers have the prop at the back, so no dive-in-the-face-prop-first thing).

For the tricopter, if it crashes, it means you are an insanely good shot.

The thing is basically a big "Y" made out of 1/2" carbon tubes, with spinning props at the tips... and it flies at about 30-40 km/h... try hitting someone running... that is around 8 km/h...

Anyone try to use airhog toys for this?

I know my dad bought two when I was younger and ended up with 8 by the time we got a working one (all them would not charge) so getting a replacement for the item did not seem to be the problem, the guy from airhog also let my dad keep all the RC helis since it was useless shipping back the crappy ones over and over.

I do have to say though, for $30 bucks they are pretty fun to fly around. Just wonder if there would be a way to mod the motor so it could carry a loaded grenade.

naw man, i got two of em, they got no power, and the battery is only good for a couple of mins, it would be very hard to do anything effective..

Of all the things, another target. If I seen one of these in a game, it would be all the more reason to buy those foam rockets for the 40mm.

UAV.......DOWN!!!!!!!!!!


Attachment 18816

Anyone considered getting a R/C group to do air support during an event? I've often thought those guys would like to come out and serve a purpose with them skills, no?

We get people not calling hits, blue-on-blue, under MED fire... are you really sure anyone with a 5000$ kerozen jet will want to bring it to an airsoft game to do air support?

There is also the fact that most don't have an on-board camera with real-time transfer. That makes for a very hard flight if you can't see your plane...
