Oh no I'm making this quad world, funny how quad posts all arrive together just like buses, I thought this chap had done well and this was worth sharing.
Looking further they seem to know what they are doing...

You can just tell she is thinking "Come on... hurry up with your stupid helicopter crap!"
Meanwhile... all the guys that are watching are thinking "Wow, how cool is that!"
Hmmmmmm.........It's just like being at my house! :)
You need to get on RC Groups and do a search for George Sapp who is the creator of "quadpowered.com". Sapp's software and hardware is PROPRITARY and there has been some heated debate on RC Groups concerning Sapp's products and attitude: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1060552&highlig...
I am presently working on a square quadrarotor frame that is 20" X 20" with a diagonal distance between the motors of 28" when flown in an "X" configuration. I am using these motors: http://www.bphobbies.com/view.asp?id=V450327&pid=D1748437
The BP Hobbies motors are good for around 250watts each WOT and they are controlled by CC Thunderbird 36 ESCs. I plan to use a minimum of two 5000mahr LiPos to power the beast. I will probably use the APM/IMU Mega for stabilization when the quadrarotor software matures.
