First of all I was wondering why quads are so popular and helis so relatively unpopular in the ardupilot diy world (at least this is the feeling that I've got comparing the number of topics on the two models).

Then I was wondering if there existed some sort of open source version of TradHeli like there is for the quad. What I mean is a list of parts and instruction on how to mount them, without having to buy a pre-assembled product. I tried looking for this but could find none.

Also - more generally speaking - what do you think is the best way to start with an TradHeli? What frame should one choose? Any batteries/other components considerations?

Many thanks
