INTRODUCTION The GWS Slow Stick is an electric park

flyer made by Grand-Wing Servotech. Its simplicity and easy-to-fly characteristics make it a great airplane for beginners. Out of the package, the Slow Stick uses three channels: throttle, elevator, rudder.

Fitted with camera for surveillance

OBJECTIVES To build and test the MAV Observe safety rules during building and

testing Learn how to assemble objects based on

sketches Learn how to optimize cost when

building objects Learn to create and assemble part on

Creo Parametric 1.0 Fly plane (Figure-8 Patterns)

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION The goal of the project was to construct a

Micro Air Vehicle based on the GWS Slow Stick Platform, with other parts designed in Creo Parametrics 1.0. A cost analysis and material list preparation made sure that the project followed the design specifications. The goal is to fly as many 8 paths around two pylons seperated by 50’ in 5 minutes. . For this, the plane must take off and land from the ground, be able to fly for the entire 5 minutes without needing to recharge the battery, and must stay within the boundary limits
