    Help needed with motor calculations.

    You might find what you are looking for at a web site http://www.flybrushless.com. There is a lot of data there for a wide variety of motors. I cannot attest to the reliability of the data but it seems to be a well done compilation.

    Quad Configuration and Flight Controller Questions

    The witespy web site is one of the places I have been doing a lot of my researching. They have several different boards that fit nicely in my price range. To be honest I had not paid that particular one close attention so thanks for pointing it out. I got the impression that you were not a big...

    Quad Configuration and Flight Controller Questions

    jon, appreciate the suggestion but a bit of searching indicates the pricing on that board to be over $100. That far exceeds my budget. I can be a little flexible and realize I might have to slip a little above my $40 target. But right now it seems that there are multiwii boards out there that...

    Quad Configuration and Flight Controller Questions

    jon, I understand exactly what you are trying to advocate. I am in the beginning stages of my research into building a quad. I have a lot to learn. But I also have a limited budget. I have visited several different web sites all of which I have seen recommeded by people both here and on other...

    Quad Configuration and Flight Controller Questions

    I would have to go back and look at the web sites I have been researching but there were a couple on witespy and another site. I don't expect to get the gps in that price range. I would just like to know that I can add it at some point if I want. I saw more than one multi wii controllers on...

    Quad Configuration and Flight Controller Questions

    OK. I thought I had seen a diagram in a thread somewhere that showed a motor rotation with two motors in the front rotating in the same direction (CW) and the two motors in the rear rotating in the same direction but opposite the front (CCW). Mybe I was hallucinating. Now I need to try and...

    Quad Configuration and Flight Controller Questions

    I must have taken my dumb pills this morning by accident. I look at those drawings and the only difference I see is that on quad is turned 45 degrees in relation to the other. Motor rotation seems the same, controller board orientation is the same and the arms are perpendicular to each other...

    Quad Configuration and Flight Controller Questions

    OK. Well pardon my ignorance but in what way do x quads look better? I am only familiar with one shape for a four rotor aircraft and that is with the arms perpendicular to each other. Which means to me that a + and an x shape are pretty much the same depending on what perspective you view them...

    Quad Configuration and Flight Controller Questions

    Hi everyone. First post on these forums. I am in the early stages of research on building a quad. I have a couple of what are probably really basic questions right now. I did a search and cannot really find answers to my specific questions. They may be there somewhere but I cannot find them...

    Greetings everyone. I am just getting into this multirotor stuff. As a matter of fact I am relatively inexperienced in RC in general. I have built 2 planes so far but not done a lot of flying. I have been teaching myself with a little help from my son who lives about 5 hours away. He is the...
