"I could be wrong, but I don't think the RC community wants to take owner ship of who should and should not fly drones. I know my fellow models who have zero interest in any of this stuff could care less about this unmanned autonomous stuff and…"
"I work in unmanned aircraft research at a university in Arizona and have been an avid RC enthusiast for 14+ years now and I find myself feeling physically unsafe a lot these days when there is a "drone" in the near vicinity. I love unmanned aircraft…"

"I really like it. Especially the multiple balloon version with the rigid structure around the outside, looks very spaceshipy(for lack of a better word). I hope you get it working. It's very difficult to build a rigid structure and keep it light…"
"I wouldn't tilt the rotors if you don't have too. Sure the vertical ones are dead weight when you're flying in forward flight, but it is far less complex to have two power systems and not have to rotate motors, especially if they're big ones because…"
"Just another update. I believe it has been decided that we will be taking a semi-traditional approach to building this. Possibly interlocking foam bulkheads and covering. We are going to try this be building the top front left panel. The mix of the…"
"That was considered as well, but it would have to either be a very, very high pressure cylinder or a very large heavy one. That was the reasoning for using a pump vs a cylinder if we went with an active pressure system and a non rigid craft, but…"
"Because we need this aircraft to be rigid. We could build it right now and make it fly the same way we did with the proof of concept, but if we're going to use if for high altitude research/photography like we're planning on then we need the air…"
"Alright guys, I think we're getting a little off topic. Just a little update though, I received some product samples from Industrial Polymers the other day for a hard coat we were looking at using on the outside of this craft, but unfortunately it's…"
"Alright guys... I think I've got a question for you all now. A couple of them actually.
1st How are these "larger" multirotors typically controlled? Is there a board you can buy that does the mixing of does the mix have to be set up in the…"

"Here's a short video of the proof of concept model as promised. Please excuse the poor video quality. It was shot in 1080p if I remember correctly, but we had to cut it down to something that we could email."
"This is a short clip of our proof of concept model flying. "
"That was a major concern after we flew the prototype. It was lacking a little bit in the yaw department, but we think we'll have fixed that with the actual SV-1. It uses control surfaces for pitch and roll, but yaw is still controlled with throttle…"
"That quad shot is interesting, but it doesn't look too stable to me. I like the other configuration a bit better myself. I've already built an aircraft using this type of setup(quad along with a separate forward propulsion unit), but I also used…"
Hi guys,I have been working over the past year on a new aircraft/near space craft design. This journey began back in August of 2012 and it has come a long way since then. The goal of the project was originally to simply design a reusable platform…
