I'm not sure what the longevity of brushless motors in water would be - you wouldn't want to get water in the bearings. Seems like a pretty cool frame nonetheless.

Kevin, I understand your frustration, and I apologize for the delay. There is a bigger discussion on RCgroups if you wish to look it up. The problem we had is that the frames that were built ready to ship used a pressed in nut for the cover and motor mounts. We realized this was not the best solution and occasionally the nuts would spin in place resulting in the screw not being able to be pulled out. We decided to replace the pressed in nuts with threaded in nuts (which have worked greatly), before sending out any more frames. Unfortunately, that meant we had to build new frames from scratch, and therefore the delay.
We take this serious and want to provide the best possible products we can without charging outrageous prices. We look to everyone for feedback so we can incorporate some new ideas into the next frame. If anyone has any further questions, please direct them to our contact page on the website, as we are not constantly on the forums. We will have some updates coming up including some build videos and the release of our clear frame. The best way to follow our progress at this time is to subscribe to our youtube channel www.youtube.com/aquacopters.
Thanks for both your support and patience!
I see. Hopefully they get the kinks worked out quickly
I did not get that. when I ordered 6 were in stock.....my invoice number 14 so there should not be to many in front of me, not the greatest way to start a new business.
I must be old school where in stock means, on the shelf ready to ship. not a bag of pellets in the back or in a container from china
When I ordered, the item page "available" but after I added the item to cart it said "The requested number of items ordered is not available" so I am anticipating shipment in 5-10 days. It's a small business, I'm not sure how their manufacturing process works, but lets be patient.
So much for 5 to 7 day shipping....My order is still in processing after 10 day. Why it takes so long to ship some thing that is listed as "in stock"
Blows my mind
We need at least two classifications
1. Drone assist
2. Drone Only
a. Quad
b. Hex
c. Octo
hopefully mine ships soon
Ordered one. Can't wait for some good ol' fashioned drone fishin!
The OpenROV project (http://openrov.com/) uses brushless motors for it submarine. Just remember to rinse after use... ;-)
Wonder how to overcome the APM2's onboard barometer on this, as it needs to measure the "open air".
Nice product though !
