Counter rotating Dead Calmer.
While the two counter rotating power units are in transit I have already started on my first design to match it.
850x1120mm frame in making.
This time with the warmer colour scheme.

While waiting for the CR power units I have started on my new smaller design to find out the best option between the 3 frames, "S, M & L"
Small frame in making, Med. will be next.

Couple of premier flights went brilliant with my latest counter rotating creation, somewhat marginal for 3/D performance at only one to one power ratio but running immaculate smooth and quiet, the power unit will be perfect match for my latest just about complete.
Fully fitted, ready for maiden.
New lighter design (left) ready for the CR unit at 50grams less as AUW.

Mid size frame for one of my counter rotation unit is in its early stages, 112-118g AUW is my target.
Something different for a variety.
Initial cut out.
Further progress on its way.

My first Large frame is now de-commissioned as CR, ready for a mono prop power unit, the new Smaller, lighter frame is fully fitted out, ready for action and the latest Mid size frame just about to be fitted out with all the electronics and power plant to compare to the smaller one. Never ending fun. LOL.
Saller frame fully complete.
