Description

A collection of my personal mods for the versatile ArgusFPV ROC WING VTOL, now on MakerWorld too!

Features & Tips

  • All parts are provided in both STEP and STL format.
  • Nosecone Multi (NCM) and Tail Counterweight (TCW)
    • Obstruction-free frontal hemisphere view with Insta360 X5 (~3π steradian clearance). Enjoy post-flight edits!
    • Integrated air intake for cooling VTX & Insta360 X5.
    • Optional pan servo mounting(requires additional H/W). Detailed instruction plus custom Lua script is provided with the attached manual.
    • Low-drag, streamlined tail ballast attachment, which doubles as a durable tail landing gear.
  • Landing Gear (LG)
    • Conformal attachment with slot for mounting MicoAir MTF-01P flow sensor & range finder, improving low altitude hovering accuracy.
    • Detachable, press-fit skids for easy cleaning and repairing post-landing.
  • GPS Mount for MG-F10 (GM)
    • Streamlined mount for MicoAir MG-F10 dual band GNSS, a worthy upgrade for the lovely ROC WING VTOL!
  • Other parts are for enhancements and repair, such as battery plate(BP), enlarged harness route(HR-XL), etc.
  • Capable of using the stock carrying foam case; refer to the attached photo for foam cutout locations.
  • Check the attached photo for reference battery position for 6S2P 21700 setup.
