About Me:

Owner / operator of DarkSoul Racing, we design and build mostly parts for large scale RC cars, but have been moving into other realms.

Ted commented on Mario's blog post I was already crazy...DIYDRONES made it worst ! The story...part 2
"This is a really cool project for sure, and not to be a nay sayer, but I also see a few issues, it will be interesting to see how you guys resolve them.

-To start, there is no safety/redudancy since there is now as far as I can see, only one motor.…"

Ted replied to Chris's discussion Dragonplate
"You need to be a little more specific on the details of your design. For the arms, are you going to use woven tubing or the pultruded "hollow rod". If you are planning on the hollow rod, I would recommend NOT using that. Being unidirectional, once…"

"I would very much like to get my hands on this FC, I am not into the whole UAV thing, I just really like the multi rotor crafts, and after seeing some of the stunt flying these things can do, I would very much like to have a FC that has all the…"

Ted commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Announcing ArduCopter, the merger of the ArduPilot and AeroQuad projects!
