Stumbled across this article with a video. http://gajitz.com/building-to-the-sky-flying-robots-take-on-architecture/

That is impressive. Love the exercise ball landing gear.

Also these from AHM brushless http://ahm-rc.de/index.php?cPath=48 They are CF and Aluminium but look similar. P.S. It's in German so I hope your browser translates.

I had a flash of inspiration and came up with this using the same motor layout. Only issues I can think of are the fact that you would probably need to make it out of carbon fiber square tube and notch the spars to make the frame and wrap the joins with carbon ribbon and resin to make them...

ovdt By using the dimensions you mentioned it looks like you are going to end up with something like this. This is using 13" props. It ends up being a big frame. If you you increase the speed of two motors on one side would not reducing the paired motor on the other side by a factor of 2 not...

Another option would be to do something like this where the viewing angle is increased by making the front arms 120 degrees like a Y6. I imagine with he two arms out the back instead of one you would have lifting capabilities closer to a true X8. Mounting the camera as far forward as possible...

I'd love to help. Unfortunately I don't speak German so it is unclear exactly what Asctec is claiming a patent for. Could you give us a brief outline of what it is that they are claiming is unique to this design. Is it the fact that the motors are aligned in a straight "V" formation? If not...

@Ben Nice build there and I must admit to a small tear as I got to the last page and saw those horrific images. What material did you use for the plates? I figured that the X15 concept was probably a wash but had read somewhere that the Mikrokopter 8 used a slight pitch to aide in yaw on their...

A quick google later tells me that 101.211 Night operations With the exception of control line model aircraft, a person shall not operate a model aircraft at night unless the operation is— (1) indoors; or (2) a shielded operation. Bugger.

I am new to this addiction and hope to soon buy my first quad, probably a GAUI 330 for training purposes, but I have done a lot of looking around and one day hope to build my own from scratch and go FPV along with aerial photography. I decided that a quad would be better to start with than a tri...

Has anyone tried painting the frame with fluro/dayglo paint and using UV LED for night flying? I know at nightclubs when they turn on the UV/Blacklight it shows up that sort of thing as if it was lit up.

Some inspiration for a future build?

Kia Ora. I have been lurking around the pool long enough and it is time to to test the waters. For the last two months I have looking at various forums and the like after discovering multi-rotors during a lazy Sunday afternoon trawl through You Tube. After countless videos of people injuring...
