"@Don - You don't need counter rotating props to control yaw. I flew a quads plenty with all props in the same direction. It's just not the most efficient way to go about it.
@Ray - Yes, you can just angle 2 opposing…"

All propellers rotating same way... Can I angle all motors or just one???

Hi,I have my QuadCopter built. I am using the Propeller microprocessor (I built my own pcbs) to control this. I intend using a Wii gyro (from a Wii motion plus), but currently I have no feedback…Continue

Ray Rodrick replied to Ray Rodrick's discussion All propellers rotating same way... Can I angle all motors or just one???"Thanks Don.
I do know some have tilted the rear about 15 deg and have it working. I am ultimately interested to see if I can get the PID fast enough to counter the centrifical force by micro control, permitting the quad to rotate like a flying…"
Don Cramer replied to Ray Rodrick's discussion All propellers rotating same way... Can I angle all motors or just one???"The counter rotating props are required on a quad not only to counter the engine torque but also allow you to yaw/turn the copter as well. You could manually rotate one or all of them enough to counter torque but you will not be able to…"

Hi,I have my QuadCopter built. I am using the Propeller microprocessor (I built my own pcbs) to control this. I intend using a Wii gyro (from a Wii motion plus), but currently I have no feedback connected.Currently I have all propellers rotating in the same direction. I have counter-rotating ones on order. I can get off the ground and my quad rotates as expected.However, I was thinking that rather than angle just the rear motor (in a "+" configuration) about 15 deg, would angling all motors…See More
Ray Rodrick replied to Chris Anderson's discussion Which Quadcopter should we adopt?"Jani: My interest is in using the prop chip so I will be doing that. I have the latest ITG3200 gyro chips from invensense. Our code will be over on the Parallax forums.
However, I am interested in what others are doing, particularly the airframe.…"
Ray Rodrick replied to Chris Anderson's discussion Which Quadcopter should we adopt?"Shouldn't the Quadcopter hardware be decoupled from the electronics to make a better set of alternatives?
i.e. An airframe kit with motor/esc/propellor ?
I am developing my own electronics based on a Parallax Propeller chip (a 32bit 8 core…"
