Hi there, can anyone help me? For the Austrian new regulations process I need amongst others values, the maximum G load factor (+/-) on the Cinestar 8 frame? Any ideas? Greetings from Munich Tom
Tom, Welcome to the forum. If it's not too much trouble, would you be kind enough to change your user name to your real first name and last name, please? The reasons for this (and how to do it) are explained here: http://forum.freeflysystems.com/index.php?threads/real-names.497/ You will need to contact Freefly for that information: support@freeflysystems.com -- I'm not sure, but it may be viewed as proprietary information. Thanks Andy
It seems like that would be a hard number to calculate with these systems as the limit would change depending on the payload and boom arm size motor mass etc.. Its not like a plane where you can wrap it up in a high speed turn and load it up. The only way I suppose you could calculate such a limit is its vertical loading on landing. I suppose a drop test from different heights and a good acceleromter to measure the negative G reading as it stops would give an idea. But than again considering all things equal, elasticity of material will be changed on certain components like the gimbal when induced to different masses. There will be some continuing moment stress on those components while the vertical speed accelerates in the opposite direction to zero on impact. I would suspect there probably has not been any load tests on the system to a great degree, that would require a lot of broken parts.
