I really like it, though it does remind me of semtex-H, because of the orange batteries and the wires coming out. :P

You could look at the source for an Arduino based flight controller board. It should have the range of the rate that the com pin turns on and off. This is what I could find ch1 = pulseIn(4, HIGH, 25000); // Read the pulse width of ch2 = pulseIn(5, HIGH, 25000); // each channel ch3 =...

If you do get it from HK try to get all your parts form the US warehouse(if your in the States) or one closest to you, because the shipping will kill you.

Oh, that makes sense, cheaper that way.

Emailed you my pitch. It should have me listed as George Hanes. Email titled " Micro-Quad review ".

If the new flight controller does not fix it you will probably need to buy a new Rx. If anything like that were to happen again land, and unplug the battery. The reason water hurts electronics is because it brings higher voltage to lower rated parts. The high voltage fries the low voltage...

It can be done at home, but can a nuclear reactor. I'd have to agree with those above, that sending it off is the best option. Really though, asking this question on an ad? If you want to learn more about the process/see what it is done with then check this link out. They sell kits, but as...

Thanks for the link, I don't believe that it is exactly what I want.

One last thing, if anyone knows where I could get some sort of lightweight composite that can be molded/cast I would REALLY appreciate it.

A little perhaps, I did this more as a concept with cheaper material, I plan to build a lighter frame from fibreglass tube, it will weigh around 208.45 grams. My motors generate ~6ibs of static thrust and 2 of which will be taken up by the parts and accessories. That still gives me a 2:1...

I don't see any others. It looks like a nice build. EDIT: You probably want to order two packages of the bullet connectors, mine came up three short and I had to order more.

I don't know the full extent of your electronics experience, if you are confident that you guys can do what your talking about, then I say go for it. If you are on a tighter budget and would want to go with an open source flight controller (as apposed to a scratch built), then this is the...

I am a little new to quads, but I have been in electronics for a few years. From the reviews I see that the motors have some structural issues. You could get by with a 25 amp ESC, but it is better to be too big than too small. You probably don't want to go over 8'' props and you can get a...

"we have very little to none programming experience." Unless you have months to learn you will want to go with something pre-built. If you want the option to program it you should invest in something open source. If you think that your are going to etch, solder, and program a flight...

Weight: 453.5 grams/ 16 oz (no electronics) or 1190.6grams/42oz (w/electronics) New weight: 255 grams without electronics Prop size (designed for): 9'' Prospected weight when finished: 276.691 grams /9.7oz (no electronics) or 736.5 grams/ 25.97oz (w/electronics) The frame is not completed...

Thank you for clarifying that, I see now that you don't use the foil simply because it is not durable. Thanks for the explanation.

I was looking at the ESC/Motor combination, and I noticed that your motors draw 10 amps and your ESCs are rated for 12 amps. You really need your ESCs to be a little higher rating. This will keep them from getting hot and keep them from being burned up by any variance in the motors max. 15...

I found the frame to be too small for the bigger props. I planned to build my frame anyways. I have not ordered my batteries yet but when I get it in the air, I plan on making a video of it.

Would you be safer to just put motors on the reverse side? I say this to avoid having to chance the direction of the motor mid flight and create a load of stress. I think this could be easily done with arducopter or mutiwii. If you can reverse the motors mid flight what would stop you from...

Actually there is a quad that you can buy that called the Stingray 500 made by curtisyoungblood. It uses rotors that are more like that of a heli-copter. It is the most acrobatic I have seen. It accomplishes inverted flight so easy even a beginner can do it. Short flight video Longer by...
