Michigan Drone Racing and the Series 1585

"We recently got ahold of our series 1585. The stand and associated software package is as close to plug-and-play as I've seen in the motor-testing world, and we've been really liking the data we've been able to get."
-Noah Brooks, Head of Engineering

Reviews

Our customers share how our tools helped them build drones and achieve performance goals

“The 1780 has been a great piece of equipment. We discovered your low cost sUAS propeller test stand at AUVSI and I think you guys have done an outstanding job bringing this tool to the community. Keep up the great work!”

"Having a reliable ready-to-use-out-of-the-box thrust stand solution, like the Series 1585, was critical to meeting our need to test often and quickly iterate on designs in our development of the toroidal propeller."

“We've used a lot of other test stands in the past, specifically from China, that haven't gotten very good data which has led to expectations that haven't been met. The Series 1780 was spot on. When we did our very first test flight we flew for 45 minutes, exactly on the money what we were expecting.”

"We have just finished our tests with the 1585 - Test bench. Everything went very fine and we are extremely satisfied and content with this test bench. Thank you for all your support!"
