Barry commented on Scott Plunkett's blog post Rotor Concept HPQ-1 quadcopter review at Engadget"It will flip over (mine did) if you don't let the controller and heli sync up on a hard flat surface like the YouTube video shows. Unless it is synced as shown it has a mind of its own and will act possessed."

Make sure your props are tight. Usually when your copter is leaning one way or the other, you think…"

Barry commented on Scott Plunkett's blog post Rotor Concept HPQ-1 quadcopter review at Engadget"Having same issues getting Mr. Le / RC to respond to orders/emails as well. Would NOT recommend buying anything from RC. This is just a $180 LotusRC T180 that you can order all day from goodluckbuy.com

Saw this on the news, and then read about it today on engadget as well. Interesting points - 50 pound chopper, to be used primarily for surveillance, but also weapons capable.

- Hello Scott,
I sent 2 private messages and didn't get any response from you.
I would still like to be a member of the workspace to design/build an UAV airplane by the community.
Has the workspace begun ?
What has already been done for the design of this UAV airplane ?
Can you please explain me how to join and participate ?
Best regards,
Jean-Claude
