Now that's just a cool mod! Makes me want to drop $70 on one now.

Shame they don't retract - could turn them into flaperons.

No moss on that stone . . .

not really wondering if they have "product specialists" lurking.

Those not only brake, they are clean looking as well. Bit pricey for my budget and considering I have landed on my wheels once they can wait :)

That would be some incredible R&D if they got the idea from us!

Teach,

They're just that good to recognize our genius and run with it!

Now only if they'd give us free parts to come up with good ideas for them (instead of cheesy plastic badges) . . .

Naw, they've had them for a little while. I stumbled across them a while back when looking for brake systems for planes when I watched an RC jet stop on a dime on youtube.

Dang-it FM, I'm trying to convince HK we're as-good-as their product developers for crazy good ideas.

Now they're just gonna think we have crazy ideas . . .

They won't care if we have crazy ideas, as long as we have marketable ideas. That they can steal and sell as their own.
 
Nice contest Idea :) Have a few bush pilots in the family and have always been fascinated by what they can make a plane do (Though I have never seen it in real life, only stories)

Very cool to see what ya'all have come up with. I'm a complete noob when it comes to flying, have only 3 flights behind me and 0 successful landings so there is no way I'm entering but I really am enjoying reading it all.

Good luck!

HK totally used the open source community work on the Turnigy 9X and applied it to the 9XR. Case and point. Also let's not forget a tiny control board developed by a certain "Kaptein" that HK now holds the rights to and this gives them a Bill Gates type of world domination over simple multirotors.
