Lumenier QAV250 Mini FPV Quadcopter

[timnilson]

I am excited to announce the soon to be released Lumenier QAV250 Mini FPV Quadcopter airframe. With small yet fully functional FPV quadcopters having gained a lot of popularity recently, we decided to design a small FPV airframe that deserves the QAV label. The QAV250 is a symmetric 250mm size airframe that accommodates 5" props. The 250mm is measured motor shaft to motor shaft diagonally.

Our airframe was designed to support a 3s lipo setup and powerful 2206 2000kv motors that will be released as the Lumenier FX-2206-13 2000kv.



Unique aspects of the QAV250 include the following...

Features

1. A 2.5D CNC-ed G10 unibody main frame board
2. Integrated power distribution board for ESCs and FPV flight electronics
3. 2 integrated LED strips (white and red) to aid LOS orientation
4. Easy Lipo Access (suggested Lipo is a Lumenier 3s 1300mah)
5. Support for 32mm board cams as well as cams in cases with mounting bracket
6. Support for HD camera (such as the Mobius)
7. Integrated and included Landing Gear reminiscent of the QAV500 CF Landing Gear

Weight

• Airframe: 145g (with PDB and LED boards)
• AUW: The QAV250 is flown with an AUW of around 530g (includes all flight electronics, FPV gear and Mobius HD camera).

Vibration Free Video

Like all QAV airframes, the QAV250 produces vibration and jello free HD recordings. We achieve this vibration free performance without the use of Lumenier's clean/dirty frame separation that is utilized in larger QAV airframes such as the QAV400, QAV500, and QAV540G. This simplifies the small QAV250 airframe, making it lighter, reduces parts count, and failure points. We will soon release flight videos flown by our Team of Lumenier pilots.

Flight Time

Fully loaded with FPV gear and Mobius HD cam, we get 7 1/2 minute hover time with a Lumenier 1300mah 3s lipo, 5x3 Gemfan props, and 12amp ESCs. Lipo had 3.6v per cell remaining.

Availability

The QAV250 will go on pre-order in November and will ship before Christmas 2013. Retail price is still TBD.

When will you guy´s start the pre order?

[BayAreaCrasher]

WOWOWOWOW!!

Shut up and take my money!

[Zeeflyboy]

Looks cute lol.

I know what you mean - I've actually started designing my own micro quad (just DIY for me) because I love the concept of a fully capable but small machine.

Think this will do well!

Pre-order date???????

Wowwwww,amazing guys...

and after brushless gimbal mania now is the turn of mini quads.
Great work Tim. Has this version the same dampening system such as bigger qav?
