Smaller is sometimes better.

So I've built well over a dozen multicopters by now and surprisingly this little 30cm job has turned out to be the most fun out of all of them.  I always heard that 40-50cm sized frames were the magic number, but this lightweight 3cell setup has more pep and handling than anything else I've flown so far.  details here

    Thanks for all the great comments. I don't get it though. Why is everyone asking about the setup? Does my link in the blog post not work? There's specs, a photo, flight tests, mirror tests, settings, you name it all in that thread.

    I'm sorry, but the shadow of the copter did not look like 30cm. . .
