On a more serious note, that's pretty messed up. Hopefully lawmakers don't have a knee jerk reaction."
Luke Olson replied to Simon m's discussion lipo battery"I wasn't thinking about 4S, that will make a big difference. If there was a thumbs up emoticon I'd use it!"
Luke Olson replied to Simon m's discussion lipo battery"If you're using the 3D Robotics quadcopter around 5,000 mAh is the upper limit, maybe less depending on your specific configuration. With a battery that heavy it would affect handling."

DIY Power Distribution
Posted on December 20, 2012 at 9:00am 13 Comments 4 Likes
There are various power distribution boards out there but none really were able to accomplish what I wanted for a previous hexacopter build (six battery inputs, six ESC outputs, and a small power lead for the receiver). I'm in the process of building a new small quadcopter so I figured I document the power distribution this time around. This example is less complex than the first one I made for the hexacopter but it illustrates the same process.
The basic idea is to…

I've been throwing around a few ideas for a hexacopter frame and have settled on a aluminum arm and fiberglass plate sandwich type frame (is there a more technical term for it?). The goal is to carry a digital SLR for aerial photography, though I'll work out the camera bits after I get past the basics of just getting it flying. From prop tip to prop tip it will be about 42 inches. The two plates in the middle are about 11.5 inches diameter and will be cut from 1/8th inch thick G10…
