Heres another MultiRotor people mover project! Found this at :- www.hover-bike.com

My Boss emailed me these photos. I have no other details or a link to this project:upset: Would be good to see this in action! more to follow..........

Lol, you'd need to be at least half fish to be coming down this way just now Pete:highly_amused:

Wow I'd be a very happy man if my Y6 flies like that. Nice job Pete! I should be out in the shed right now, but my eyes are too tired. I need to feel good if I'm going to rewire 6 esc's, soldering needs to be right.

Hi Ken, could I ask what the weight of your frame is as it is in the last photo of your post? I'm in the middle of a Y6 build using the same motors as you so would be good to compare empty fame weights. cheers

Yeah I was thinking something along those lines Mat. Probably a good idea to wrap motor in something to stop grindings entering the windings huh?

YEAH but only if you use them for making dents in the ground Lol For normal flying around they'd be sweetaz:cool: As for the RC Timer motors I have, the shafts are twice the length they need to be. With the prop collect fully on there is a 10mm gap to the top of the motor. I feel they'd be...

Hi Borneoben, I have both RC Timer BL-2830/14 750kv motors and Flycam 925's and you can clearly see why the Flycams are twice the price. IMHO worth every cent!

@Speedy Wow Man, thats so trippy! love the out of focus edge:cool:

Hey Bartman, check out this link to Mat's site. You should set battery type to NI xx http://kiwirc.com/kiwirc/2011/03/10/multicopter-esc-settings/

Thanks Mat, much appreciated praise indeed as I not a real Kiwi:D Its how I like to work though, all the drawings are in my head. Sort out the problems as they arise. Also I think it would be near impossible to find a commercial frame to fulfill my requirements? I have all the basic stuff...

Haha, no I got it from a guy who works next door to me! $15 NZ for 4.5 meters. 20x14x1mm section. Shame about the fixing web but I drilled most of it away. Landing gear from 19x19x1.2mm section! The whole frame cost me less than $10:cool:

Hi all, thought I would post my build here :p First my requirements are :- Must be able to fold and be suitable for backpacking into remote areas. Have a motor diameter 800-1000mm. Have six motors so if one motor or ESC fails I still have a chance of a safe landing? Be suitable for FPV and AP...

Cheers DennyR, they have what I need. I also found a company called Dragon Plate and they have a budget plate without the normal high gloss finish. I have to say I prefer the matt surface but its not so budget! Composite Structures Technology have the cheaper price.
