  • Craziest Multicopter

    Hello everyone!!!

    I have a turnigy micro quad (Great buy!) and have lots of fun flying it, but I really want to build a multicopter. I love the motor/esc/controller combo of the quad so I know what I want to buy, just how much of each? What is the craziest, weirdest, freakish copter you can build? I am using the KK2.o so it has to be under 8 motors, but I really can’t thing of anything weird enough…

  • Multi rotor Control board

    Hello every one, Elyas here. I am new to the forum been in the hobby for about a year or so. I have just finished High School, hoping to get into Aviation or Mechatronics in 2013.

    I was planning to make a small tricopter probably running of single cell lipo, for the yaw i have planned to use rudder under the back motor to direct the direction of the thrust. But I was unsuccessful to find a small multi rotor control board capable of doing that.

    I do happen to be in electronics a bit as well,  so I thought I might be able to make a small control board myself, but it got complicated, so I sort of have up. But I am still looking forward into building one myself in the future.

    So if you gamy one knows a small control board for a tricopter please let me know, or if anyone could help me make one myself Thanks.
