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 themselves in new and inventive ways I stumbled upon a video that showed the Parrot AR Drone.
It peeked my interest.
After I learned what it actually was I dug in a bit further.
Now I am HOOKED!
I have very little RC experience clocking only about 3 hours with my $30 Kmart mini-copter and some time with RC cars in my youth.
But I know which end of a soldering iron not to touch and can tell the difference between red and black, although left and right is sometimes an issue.
So I am looking to build a multi-rotor that will a) take a bump or two, b) be easy to pilot, c) give me something else to do with my hands, and d) as a designer, look dead sexy.
I look forward to all your help and constructive criticism, and to one day meeting some of you in an open field.
