10 frustrating months of experimentation

by ben-ya-min | October 23, 2012 | (14) Posted in Just Fun


I have messing around with multirotors for 10 months now and im finally starting to get somewhere with it all. This is a short montage i threw together for 2 reasons. Then first being i wanted to make a video showing what i have achieved so far and the second being i have new editing software and needed to learn how to use it.


It has taken 10 months, 8 different multi rotors and many hours of designing, building, testing and modifying to get to where i am today with a half decent, fully homemade Quadcopter.


Sit back and enjoy a very small portion of the video i have gathered so far off my current quadcopter.


Filmed with my GoPro's

I second LanMark, looks like a good video topic, but the posted one seems only to be an intro.

What are your 8 different multirotors.. what are your specs you are running right now with your homemade quadcopter.

Nice video montage.

I started out with HobbyKing kk boards on a homebuild tricopter based on Rcexplorers design. then i refined it a few times then i bought DJI Naza and moved to Quadcopters. then i refined my quad design a few times. a total of 8 different frames.

At the moment i have the quad you see at the start of the video.
DJI NAZA
Turnigy Prop drive 28-36 750kv (from memory)
4000 3s nano teck
18amp plush ESC

Yeah my current quad is based on his design. mine is slightly larger and is slightly different but basically the same idea :)
