wow - good investigation Pete, will forward this to the OP guys cant wait to see the vid could be a case to have a simple bec for the flight controller, and seperate for the servos (Jakubs multiwii board does this)

forgot to say - for me the best part of the V designs is the ability to carry a camera , with great viewing angle, and not having t have landing gear, or a camera hanging below to get damaged the negative is having to adjust the battery location depending on battery and load changes

its the V shape that they say they have the rights to i believe, saying it unique in alowing a clear forwarward view - same could be said of a Y6 design - so i dont know how well they would defend it I changed mine to two straight rows of three motors,and the Vtail on the end. That config, can...

:) Fan Boy ! :) will let everyone know when they are due

Hi Rick,do you fly RC at all ? If not , get a cheap $80 coaxial heli fromJcar to start practicing on. feel free to ring/email/skype me with any questions one of petes tri's would be a good starting point

the pre-tinned end i think are with lead free solder, so it pays to re-tin them before use

its after T......... :D

Sure was great to meet you to man. Sounds great over xmas Just realised , 25% of the multis were Vtails !

@droider - ugly is fine with me :) @efliernz - awesome day mate, thanks again for hosting it (and thank the wife/daughter as well for the tea/coffee please) cant wait to see the vids

Dont be sorry, hijack away, its all good discussion the problem with what you are proposing is to do with ROLL the rear motors are closer to the centre line than the fronts, and if you apply an equal amount of power to the both motos on one side to counteract roll, you end up with the rear...

@pete haha thanks for that :) lets hope for good weather on sat @gunter - #1 is orientation,great for learning to fly towards you,#2 is gracefull flying like a tricopter on the orientation thing, the only other shape that i have found easy is a T shaped tri-copter

no wories, try a vtail, you wont be disapointed:)

Doing this for a friend,he brought a quad,and sent it to me for a Vtail Makeover Thought this would be relevant as a few on here have Minsoo Frames you need a piece of aluminium bar 25mm by 3mm by 360mm long, and a minsoo kim quad frame (or any frame really the front arms are changed...

+1 to that keep battery leads short, extend motor wires

interesting, i have run NG code and 2.038, an loiter dosent work well for me, but could be a compass issue will be keen to try 2.040 to run it you need to use arduino and compile it yourself (not to hard to do)

a side issue with a low CoG, relating to battery life, if the CoG is low, and your multi needs to hold at an angle to keep position in the wind, it will need more power to do so , also during normal flight, or at any time the multi is not dead level, as you are constantly "lifting" all that low...
