I want in sooo bad!

I hate to keep an old thread alive, but I've been messing around with overlapping props as well. Is 23+/- 1 amps at 11 volts amps in hover (wattmeter) ok for a 1.3 kg hex? I have props overlapping and dihedral on both sides. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3JV1TASj5w

Finally test flew the hex on 3s with some 11 inch props. AUW is heaveier thank I expected. Just under 2kg.

oh wow. It's out! http://curtisyoungbloodhobbies.curtisyoungblood.com/Next-D_c266.htm

it's coming. Curtis youngblood is developing a cp multicopter:

Got some 50a esc's and 8x5 props on order for future ventures. Ecalc says this is happening! All up weight is a actually looking like 1700g with 6000 mah worth of lipo. I will be stepping up the flying gradually. 3s 11 x5.5 (full fpv w hd camera) > 4s 10x5 (same) > 6s 8x5 (no hd cam) 6600mah lipos

My new frame is almost complete. Just working out where I can put cutouts to make it less draggy, while carrying fpv equipment. Pretty excited. Here it is shown with 11 inch props and its future motor. Weight is 392 grams. Hopefully I can keep the weight fairly low Power setup: 1020kv...

It's not the machine, it's the perception of it by the people. A small cut on some kid's finger may have HUGE ripples.

Just got some new props and osd. Going for 70mph with 9x6 props on the new hex frame this weekend

I see that turning bad reeeeealll quick. Unguarded props + hipsters = lawsuit

I'm thinking about downsizing my props (8x6 or even lower) and running 6s. Maybe I can get a nice FPV speed trial. once I get my osd and vtx. I can go for the record!

you may be right. It's still worth a shot. I imagine one could break the 60mph mark by using higher pitched props. I think the trick is minimizing surface area. Headed to the hobby shop for some 9x6 props tomorrow

Anyone besides warthox into the development of high speed quadcopters. Most of the quads I seen don't fly beyond about 40mph, that's considered fast. I build my v-tail quad for more speed. Do you guys know of any 40mph+ multirotors: my v-tail

Hello everyone! Geetings from the bottom of the USA! Just recently got into the multirotor scene coming from CP helis. The bug caught me and now all of my other RC toys are on the shelf! Attached are a few photos of my v-tail quad- formerly a tricopter.

looks good. how did it fly? I'm rebuilding my tricopter into a v tail too.
