I think they need some "breathing" room. BTW the normal alarming voltage on a std. cheapo liposaver is too low. When the cheapos beep you are already damaging the lipo."

The last post I show you pictures of my 3D printed quad. It took me more than thought to test it in flight. The climate and labor, plotted.Test flight was successful. It flew solid, pretty stable, less noisy than my other models (May be I'm getting deft). 3s 4000mah LiPo = 10 min.I have to work on it lighter. I have some ideas. But for now I'll finish the gimbal…See More

Hope you guys helps me to improve the design. There is a lot of things to do before it's done. For example battery holder, in different alternative…

Last post I presented this homemade hexacopter. This is primarily a mechanical steadycam style motion compensation/smoothing system, the 2 servos (roll, pitch) engage and act as dampers to reduce oscillation and alter the "home" position to…

This is my project, I have been working on it for a couple of months. Is not ready yet and certainly it's not good looking, need more work but here is a video of some features.
