S – Drone dropping magazine mechanism
A simple 6 round dropping mechanism for drones from 400mm and larger. This mechanism makes it possible with only 1 small 9G servo to do 6 separate drops with fairly large objects such as water balloons or toy parachutes during the same flight. You lock the shutter plate of each round under the bottom plate after you have loaded it. In the middle is a servo that can freely rotate 360 degrees. You connect this servo to an extra channel that is still free on your receiver and hook it up to a toggle switch or a scroll wheel on your remote. After setting everything up correctly you just toggle the switch up and down so that the servo rotates little by little. Until the servo pushes the next shutter plate out of its lock and a new object falls out.
