redundancy, but i believe a standard octo would also handle redundancy ? heres my tests, Y6 1 and 2 props missing, it worked OK, but i completely removed the props, on a coax, as stated by bowley, if its a lower motor cutting out, it will free spin and greatly reduce the thrust available from...

i need to get this flying for the FPV competition :)

the idea I am playing with right now is...instead of doing the motor tilt at the palms....is to do it at the elbows. .... that could look quite cool/realistic....but a servo that is strong enough may be the issue. .....thinking a 5:1 gear ratio may work to really up the game would be to have...

haha. I could stick one on his head. that would be easy Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

really sorry to hear about the loss - at least no life has been lost

progress, got it printed out, motors are GAUI 1050 with 8 by 4.5 props

yea, you know it :D found this photo, its perfect. going to wait untill next monday when back at work and print it on about 4 A3 pages, then glue to some corroflute, 12mm pine frameing and two tilt mechs will mount the motors at the end of the fingers, tilting along the line that the arms...

ok, last video i promise, for a while, on bicopters very happy, and need to wait for some new servos (these ones are getting clicky), and refine the frame. the top servo needs a diferent gear ratio as its running out of travel, and will be even worse when yaw control is introduced.

Quads and other multis essentially shift their centre of thrust horizontally across the frame, bu speeding up/slowing down motors bicopters shift the centre of thrust horizontally in Roll, by speeding up one side and slowing down the other BUT pitch control is done by rotating the...

i have many, many challenges, but this would be a cool one to do :) maybe dont need the feet, just two motors on the hands, like a big bi-copter

if you used 4tilt motors, from my stinger, and mounted on hands / feet you could do a fairly realistic ironman! it would hover standing up, then tilt it forward 60 deg and fly it like a big PBF Sent from my GT-I9300T using Tapatalk 2

4S adds about 78% more power :) (its a square law, double voltage = 4 time power)

the stinger got morphed into this :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FShgPuYkYO4

thanks Chris - its a sickness, once an idea pops into the head, it needs to be realised

and i gave you 3 motors and 1 servo what would you build ? probably not this ! i built it, because it was in my head to be done was it sucessfull ? well it does fly will it continue - no ? its a piece of crap :)

how about OVER-UNDER-THRU flight vid must incorperate all three ? or OVER-UNDER-AROUND and THRU (sound like tieing shoe laces :) maybe the vid should also include a flyby of the pilot ?

just a thought. don't make it too onerous to enter ( have to set up lots of stuff to complete task) try and use what's naturally available. popping balloons would be ok another easy one would be to throw a pillow case at each end and require touch in goes as part of the course. requiring too...

i started this journey 11 months ago with bottle copter - buying a 3D printer makes life alot easier :) I guess some insanity is required :D hope to post a flight vid when the rain stops

it hot, windy and muggy here today, an interesting combination well i can never let stuff alone.... found the archillies heel tonite. shortened the vertical height to 180mm between pivots and a nasty side effect of the yaw and pitch interacting turned up. thinking back I had seen a mellow...
