    My swept-back V-tail design

    Here are just a few photos of my new swept-back V-tail. I wanted it to look fast even if it's sitting still. What do you guys think?

    Some of my ideas I wanted to realize where...

    Dual rear motor/prop pair should match thrust, and draw of each front rotor,

    Dual rear prop pairing should be as close as possible to the same tip-to-tip span as each front props length, (rear span is 12", front props are 11" )

    Fast yaw rate,

    And finally, it must look menacing!


    SPECS:

    Flight Controller) KK2 (firmware V1.1) V-tail mix ( with reversed rudder outputs in mixer editor )

    Props) 11x4.7 front, 7x3.5x3 rear

    Motors) Turnigy AIR (L2215J) 900kV front, Turnigy AIR (L2210A) 1650kV rear

    ESCs) HK-F20A x4 ( stock firmware )

    LiPo) Nano-Tech 2200mAh 35-70C

    I'm hoping I can get some footage up soon. I need a good camera man... Maybe I'll take a little trip north, so the flitetest crew can take some shots of her LOL.

    FINALLY! A multirotor that ISN'T a flying abomination without style or grace!

    Well done, sir! This thing looks pretty cool. Any plans on building a cool, futuristic looking body for it? This thing screams for one!
    Too many ideas, too much ADD

    How can one be a park ranger and an anarchist? Obviously a confused individual, this moderator of ours.

    Thanks for the kind words! I would love to come up with a nice sleek body design for this thing!

    I have had many ideas for alternate designs of the frame, but so far I have not come up with one for the body.
