About Me:
I am a Physics/Engineering student I design and fly model aircraft on my spare time, typically going for performance and aesthetics ( geometric ). I also film and video edit as well as making music on the side.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am working on autonomous vehicles which can be used easily by the public. I think that Ardupilot takes care of that very well so I am in luck. Currently I am an FPV pilot so not technically a UAV operator yet. I am very excited to soon own an APM 2. The thought of constant autonomous flight is thrilling.

I would think stability, but the downside of more parts that might break.I had this idea of a multi-rotor with 16 motors, it's actually four identical quad-copters that stack together, 8 motors face up, the other eight face down, but they can fly…
"Don't thank me, it's not my material. But thanking for starting the discussion, yes I find it intriguing and hope to develop my own some day."
"Yeah I get that. Hitec is a really good company and I hope they match the competition."
"Thanks for the clarification. Wasn't sure if George-Kelley was advertising a different radio, my apologies.
It's surprising that it isn't that expensive?
My radio of choice previous was an Aurora 9 which was expensive and limited in functionality…"

"Haha that's a joke right?, that radio in the video looks like a Spectrum DX something or Airtronics not a cheap Hobby King transmitter."
"What transmitter is that? Are the voice/speakers stock?"
"thanks for the info
Good luck with the rest of your project"

"Why do the motors seem so small? Do you have specs on them?"
This is an indoor navigation I realize but it is so accurate and awesome!This is old, posted on 2012
I don't get why now it seems that anything small that flies is considered a "drone". I'd like to argue that drone implies autonomous although the Predators which have pilots are called drones as well, not saying that they aren't auto-pilot capable.…
"Just another capitalist trying to jump on a wave."
"I did test the three-bladed rotor configuration and they do fly out when you spin them, I made a little model out of a piece of foam, part of a ruler, a hot glue stick, a thumb tack and some pins."
This is probably another hair-brained idea.This is how this thing would (doesn't exist yet) work.You take this sphere-shaped drone and put it in your hand, it's clean and ergonomic with the exception of a primary button, camera, some closed optional…
