Now we can see all the videos with white guys are actually shot in Hong Kong with expatriots.

Looked like the guy flying it is Russian.  I though they were in Europe somewhere, with the Heinekin beer can.

Brilliant!!!

Is anybody going to do this.  Or is it a scam

Comment by Ellison Chan on April 5, 2012 at 7:40am

Why would it be a scam?  Almost everyone on this forum has a Turnigy or Nanotech battery already,  Just shoot some video of it flying a can of beer and send it in.  What can you loose?

Well nothing.  I didn't know

Well, hopefully there will be some Arducopter entries.  I'm sure the KK board they sell won't be able to do this stunt, unless the pilot is very good.

Well I am thinking about doing it just because it will be fun.  Thats why I am trying to find the payload of my 3DR quad with the 880 motors

If it's the math you're looking for, here's a lift calculator: http://personal.osi.hu/fuzesisz/strc_eng/index.htm

Typical can is 355ml, and beer is denser than water, so one can will weigh more than 355grams. My guess is that the 3DR frame will lift a can barely.  However, if you plan to win, you're probably going to have to build a Y6 or Hex at least.
