Hi all you familar names from past posts. Ok update on what im thinking. As some you know I experimented over the last posts with different material and folding arms for custom made drones not using cf. The website was a failure. :( But something else rose from the ashes. An sls printed drone...

We have updated our models and now no longer offer this model. Come see what new designs we have come up with since this model was made. http://multicopterdesign.com/index.html

The individual cell count was 3.8 volts. all together they are about 10.85 volts. Resulting in the 7%. I never usually go lower than 35% on my lipos.

Question about charging a lipo I dropped to 7%. What would you recommend for a 3s 1400 lipo that was dropped to 7%. This is the average of the 3 cells. I was experimenting with some time flights and forgot to pay attention to the low drop. Is this lipo still safe to charge? Can I still use my...

On the 3s 3,000 with flying like I did about 12-18 minutes. I noticed that the battery gets down to about 35% on this long. On 10 minutes I can keep the battery at 55%. On the 4s 4000 about 12 minutes I would wager for an average. With this flight I was at 10 minutes 3s 3,000. My setup has...

Showing off the stability of this great design with a new modified tilted camera mount.

Well today was a good no wind day to keep doing my tests on this huge monster of a quad. If it didn't fold I would have no where to put it. lol. Pi settings seemed best at 32. I gain was best at 12. I was amazed at how much anything would affect it. If I changed the settings just a tiny bit...

thank you. I canned that arrow design and made the H-430 Torpedo instead. A whole lot better of a folding quad.

Well my friends, Sold one to cobra. He should be getting it today. I tried to give him as much information as I could so he could enjoy his flying. I will post a video on Monday of some flights I took around the house today on Saturday with my own H-430 Torpedo. As you may have guess I was...

Thanks gramps You should think about getting a kit instead.

Thanks gramps. It does fly good. Now we have a logo and hats, t shirts, and more at cafe press.

Im not. All I want for Christmas is one Drone sold so they can tell me how much they hate it or like it. :( I did change the video so it shows the 430. I still have to mess with the settings on the 650. This is the 430 next to the 650. I love this design. Look I have more room for more...

Thanks. I took it out on the living floor and it took off with less than half throttle on a 3s 3,000 mah lipo. But I did notice some slight wobble on the up and down. P gain is 65 (default) and I gain 30 ( half). It was not too noticeable to be flyable, but I like a smooth flight. I have...
