About Me:

I am a mechanical engineering manager with a keen interest in RC helicopters.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Signed into the aeroquad forum with a view to building my own quad copter and my interest has grown with the developments between DIY drones and aeroquad into building a quad copter with the ardupilot system

"Cenk, I have an option to put a lock on the frame if needed and I can adjust the tension on the clips and the hinge to give a stiffer set up if required but I figured that if the props are pushing up and all the weight in the centre is pushing down…"
