New Wiki Advanced Multicopter Design Page

Hi Everybody, I have added a new "Advanced Multicopter Design page to the Wiki.

It covers a lot of concepts in Multicopter design both for selecting components and frames and in designing your own if that's what you might really want to do.

http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/advanced-multicopter-design/

It doesn't by any means cover everything, it is primarily not oriented to "engineers" and it is a work in progress.

Please contribute any feedback, suggestions for additional material to include and criticisms (polite preferred) and I will update the Page to include worthwhile suggestions as best I can.

I am hoping this page can become a repository for serious undertaking of multicopter design and at least include descriptive links to any worthy individual projects.

Hope this meets with your approval.

Best Regards,

Gary

quick question: is it better to have an uninterrupted tubing (woth moptors on each end) or one for each motor (as shon in the above graph) in a quad and is it better to place the ESC close to the props or to the main body with regard to air stability?
