quad

Hi, just a quick question, I wish to know if it's pretty do-able to hand-launch quads. I see people do it, but mostly with smaller quads. I have a 450mm sized one and sometimes there is just not a good place to take off and land, like too tall or wet grass for example. Seeing my quads has a pair...

After what seems like a frustratingly long time of waiting for parts, breaking stuff and other setbacks, it feels like I'm finally starting to make progress! I got some time again this weekend to fly and I'm already starting to feel more comfortable. Its essentially my third time on the...

I designed and built these motor mounts. Shown in the photos, but not included, is the HobbyKing AX-2810Q motor. This has a standard bolt pattern for 19mm x 16mm. I can create any bolt pattern you want. They have 4 countersunk holes for the 3mm screws (included). They are designed to be...

Hi, Latest video from the Crazy Swede has me motivated to create my first quad. I've ordered the various components, but have a couple of questions I'm hoping you all can help me with: What are the boom lengths, and how did David go about determining them? From the video, I'm guessing that...

Hi Guys I have a project to propose to you, I found this old document from NASA on the internet which have a detailed study about heavy lifting aircrafts, which are mainly based on different type of blimps, but with 4 motors. I wonder how easy would be to build the RC version of one of this...

I see that Curtis Youngblood is bringing a collective pitch quad copter to the market. http://curtisyoungblood.com/V2/content/3d-quad While obvisously not usefull for FPV it should add a new wrinkle to flying a quad just for fun instead of for FPV and video shoots. Later Wooley

Planning a Q450 build Hi guys, I'm starting my first quad build. I want to use the Q450 frame from HK, KK2.0 as control board and ideally my Turnigy 2200mAh 3s 20C LiPo's as power source. I want the quad to be capable of carrying a gopro (or similar camera, possibly with a small 1-axis gimbal)...
