Custom quadcopter

3689382537?profile=original

Spent the last number of months building  a quadcopter.  I though I should share the results. Great fun with a number of crashes, broken props and motors. The bottom link is a 4 minute youtube flight video.

You'll notice in the video, the first half the motors are red, but later on they're blue. In one test flight,

we lost power to one motor, the quad flipped over and did a power dive into the ground. That took out a pair of motors and props.

Top view of power board.  The top lead I use as a motor power switch. The four sets of connectors around the board

connect to the ESCs. The two leads on the left are for battery power.
