We all love model aviation no matter what the form. Some like airplanes, some helis, others like multirotors, or RC cars and boats. No matter what you like to do, or if you like all of them in one form or another, we all had to learn that skill at one time. We were not born with knowing how...

Thanks to the others as well for the feedback. It looks like we are down to a short list of: Quad4Control Board V2.1 QuadrinoZoom HoverflyPro, GPS, & Sport DJINAZA-M DJIWooKong-M That was pretty quick work. Appreciate the info provided so far. I think the only one left that was not...

Cool! Some more good feedback and another off the list. Thanks, Frank

Great feedback. Removing ardupilot from consideration. Thanks, Frank

OK, removing MK from consideration. One thing we all need is product support. Any advice on the others? Thanks, Frank

Can anyone provide any feedback on the following flight controllers please: Quad4 Control Board V2.1 Quadrino Zoom Gaui GU344 Hoverfly Pro, GPS, & Sport DJI NAZA-M DJI WooKong-M MiKroKopter ME 2.1 ArduPilot Mega 1 After a lot of reading, I'm pretty sure the DJI and Hoverfly flight controllers...

Copy that. Best to stick with the 2 times. Thanks, Frank

How smaller do you think we can go? I'm thinking lighter weight and cost savings. Thanks, Frank

I know the general rule of thumb for quads is to select motors with twice as much thrust per AUW, but does that hold true for hexis and octos? I was wondering if we can get away with using smaller motors on those. Thanks, Frank

Have you had any experience with this one? http://rcadvisor.com/calculator-ez-optimizer-intro Perhaps that my give you better results. Frank

Got it. Thanks! Frank

Here is my list so far. Quad4 FYETECH Quadrino Gaui Hoverfly DJI NAZA DJI WKM MiKroKopter timecop = Naze32 flyduino ioi multiwii Arducopter PX4 Paparazzi Aeroquad Is there anything on there that I can rule out because they are junk? That will help me save time in my research. Thanks, Frank

Thank God there are still companies that make stuff here in the USA. Here is a list of another 250 or so companies that do so. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1751051 Frank

Thanks! Design it right. Check. Frank

Along the same lines, can you control a quad if a motor goes out? How about a hexicopter? Can you limp in for a landing? Thanks, Frank

Copy that al! We love supporting companies that make their RC products here in the USA. Thanks for doing those great videos. http://www.hoverflytech.com/video-tutorials.html They are very informative and share great info that you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Frank

Thanks Chris. Good idea from the vendor forum. I got a new one from there. That sticky definitely needs updating. It doesn't look like the OP has been back to update it in a long time. Frank

Instead of jumping into this hexicopter purchase with both feet, I am doing a ton of research. The first thing I came across that was not apparent was where I can buy a quad or hexicopters since many of the same stores I dealt with for RC stuff does not sell multirotor stuff. Here are some...

I'm one of these "new guys" you are talking about. I do not think I have done this much research into buying something for less than $600 (my budget) ever before. From what I understand, the flight controller boards seem to be the most important part of these multirotors. From my research, I...

Multi-Rotor Challenge coming March 23 & 24, 2013 You guys hear about this?
