Marco Leonardelli Lovatto replied to Chris Mitchell's discussion Can quadcopter motors be mounted upside down ?
"I am far from being specialist on this, but sharing my thoughts, I'd say drones with neutral stability might have a better maneuverability. About taking less energy to maintain stability, I'd like to understand how, as I thought the system would…"

Marco Leonardelli Lovatto replied to Chris Mitchell's discussion Can quadcopter motors be mounted upside down ?
"Thanks for your feedback Christoph,
I corrected my first statement in my response to Rick Boden above. Does it seem coherent for you now?
About the lifting points, I compare the lifting point of a drone to the buoyancy force on a ship. It should be…"

Marco Leonardelli Lovatto replied to Chris Mitchell's discussion Can quadcopter motors be mounted upside down ?
"Hi Rick,I understand your concern, and I would correct my statement to "much less aerodynamic pressure pushing the arms down" instead of "no aerodynamic pressure".There is much less pressure because the flow velocity 1 inch upstream the rotor is…"

Marco Leonardelli Lovatto replied to Chris Mitchell's discussion Can quadcopter motors be mounted upside down ?
"Yes, they can. No negative effects.

Google for "Aeryon SkyRanger".

- blades are not closer to the ground - usual landing gear avoid contact to grass.
- lifting points above CG (good stability).
- doesn't interfer on cameras.
- increased ground…"
