DJI Phantom 4 - Skycat XS hobby series
DJI Phantom 4 - Skycat XS hobby series
Patent-pending Skycat XS for DJI Phantom 4 offers an excellent drag to weight ratio and is easy to mount without any tools, in just a few seconds!
XS is snapped in place just like the flight battery and the parachute is connected with a quick lock. The pilot can now easily remove the launcher if necessary, even at the field!
The kit includes a launcher and a parachute. A radio system and automatic eject feature are not included.
Patent-pending mechanism
XS's catapult mechanism is designed to reduce stress to the servo. Losing power to the servo will not result in an accidental parachute launch.
High efficiency
Launcher design and the high packing density of our parachute options make XS more efficient than competing systems. Due to optimized canopy design, our parachutes create more drag than 58" "round" parachute with a larger diameter.
What's included
Launcher and servo
Parachute
3 meters of durable parachute line and a quick lock. The parachute line can easily withstand contact with the propellers. An optional extension cord can be made from the parachute line. It allows the parachute to fly further, reducing the risk of entanglement.
What's required
Skycat Rescue Radio or other radio system.
Battery, for example, 2S 350 mAh.
Voltage regulator for the receiver.
Technical Specs
XS launcher weight: 80 grams (not including receiver and battery).
Parachute weight: Opale 1.0 m2: 55 grams, Fruity IFC-36-SL: 65 grams.
Theoretical descent data (Phantom 4, Fruity 36-SL parachute): descent speed 4,3 m/s, impact energy 15 J.
Flight time: According to our tests, real flight time with full XS launcher installed to Phantom 4 was 16 minutes
Motor cut off
Launcher does not shut down motors, in the case of an emergency use emergency shut down method, as described in Phantom 4 manual, and eject parachute.
Parachute eject is always the last option, in a flyaway situation try to regain control before ejecting the parachute.
The launcher is locked in place by hooks at the bottom of the main plate. Just snap launcher in place and connect parachute with included quick lock.
