Neil Ohnemus replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"Yeah totally understand, Honestly was just doing some reading and saw this, thought you had a great idea/request and wanted to expand to see if there was any interest. I didn't notice at the time how old the thread was!
Thanks for the response,…"
Andy Gongora replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"@ Neil: Your innitiative is great, and I think it shoudl be done.
But the point about this thread (which is already some years old) was to ask the differences betwen the most common multi-copter configurations. Which is the most stable, which has…"
Neil Ohnemus replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"Nice Job!
I would like to propose a couple of additional items.
1. Naming of drone types.
Seems like we need to make a common nomenclature.
Example of top level classes with each having sub classes.
Drone…"
Ayse replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"can you tell about the different type of octocopters. Because i try to do an octocpoter, but i couldnt decide which design will be best for me. What are the advantages each of them?"
Nicholas Davidson replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"Did you guys see the Small Girl Flies form Octocopter video ? Crazy http://youtu.be/6c1lzXBMcxM"
Andy Gongora replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"Well, this is kind of an old thread, but since none of the questions was never really answered, I don't think the admins will mind we revive it.
To answer your questions, I'd say that having more surface will affect positively the…"

Dimitar Kolev replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"Which page?"
Andy Gongora replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"Just found this page with lots of layouts.
But althought it's a wiki-like page, there's no extra info (at least when i click on them) about each.
Guess I'll stick in the end with a radial hexarotor, it's somewhere between quad…"
Andy Gongora replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"Isn't the T version the same as the radial? Only that instead of having for each rotor an arm, 2 rotors share a T arm (there are 4 T arms on a octocopter) ??
If not, please add a photo or a link :)"

Andy Gongora replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"You've forgotten the best one, the V like the Falcon 8 from Astec
I'm not sure if you mean this one
Yes, you are right. Maybe someone is looking for the diferences between radial and lineal airframe desings. I'll add this one to the…"

You can look UP
For commercial work quads are so yesterday ;-)"
Peter Seddon replied to Andy Gongora's discussion Quad vs Hexa vs Octo -copter. (Radial and coaxial) Advantages-Disadvantages?"Ok here is some real data from a Tricopter and Quad just as they get flying (there will be some ground effect help as I couldn't lift off and clear the ground:
