Hi everyone,
I was referred to this site from a mamber over at the RC Groups site. Not too many multirotor people that I know of here in Northern KY but hopefully I can find help here in the forums.
Just started building my first Quad Copter based off HKs Alien 560 frame. My first multi-rotor was a scratch built Tri-Copter using Ready-to-Fly Quads Flip Multiwii controller. I didn't have a lot of success with that and ended up crashing and doing considerable damage to it.
A year later and I'm starting over hoping the software/hardware has gotten a little more user friendly (Multiwii and Arduino aren't too complicated but the whole multi-rotor experience is a big learning curve).
I've got my frame built and decided to go with multiwii Pro 3.0 since I already have experience with mutliwii. I'm still playing with ecalc for my motor and battery setup and to me deciding on what to buy is the hardest part of this hobby!
I hope to have great conversations with many of you and hopefully wont get discouraged like I did with my Tri-Copter!
Jeff
