← Back to context Comment by modeless 5 hours ago A fixed wing drone needs at least one extra motor for the control surfaces. More likely two or three. 2 comments modeless Reply coderenegade 4 hours ago This design still requires an additional servo for rotor actuation, so the minimum number of actuators is the same as for a fixed wing (roll and yaw are coupled, so the bare minimum is a single rudder servo). gpm 3 hours ago No, the rotors are tilted by timing the acceleration from the single motor - there's no servo in the design in the video.
