  • A little late guys I know but the points are important. One is the stability that is inherent across lifting points that have a dihedral. It also lowers the flight controller in a multirotor nearer too the centre of gravity where it is meant to be to be functioning at its most efficient. DJI have defo exploited this in their S800 model.

    There must be something to the idea since the the new pro hexa frame from DJI, Zenmuse S800 uses it.

  • One problem might be that if you have a hexa or octo, with some ability to fly with one motor out, the sideways forces would no longer be balanced and it would tend to drift around a bit?  Frankly, that might always be a problem, drifting around as the motors change speeds to try and keep it level.

    Just thinking about it...  meh, I'd just go ahead and give it a shot, see if it works!

  • Yes, I thought of that too.  Works sort of like dihedral in an airplane.
