ig:Wisconsin land of bratwurst and beer. I would hate to meet up with a drunk multirotor pilot.My interest in flight goes back to the 50's. I loved to make ultra-light gliders, but could not get the hang of control-line flying. I read articles of tethered model helicopters and I went wild. Now after a hiatus of 55 years I'm back! Model helicopters and multirotors are a reality. Started with the Lama 400 coaxial with the inevitable crashes. The operator and hardware bugs have been worked out, and I love it.
In looking at websites I found functional multirotors. I was hooked. Started with a home brewed quad using a KK2.0 control board. Failed and crashed miserably, but didn't stop. Got the hang of it finally, but was not satisfied with the KK2.0 board. I "bit the bullet" and bought the NAZA M without GPS and built a quad frame of wood. The quad went up and stayed up as if placed on a shelf. Wow, I was ecstatic. So far I've had it up 2 1/2 times with great success. The 1/2 time ended abruptly when a prop lost purchase and dropped from 10 meters. No damage, except one prop. It is hard to have calm flying days living nest to lake Michigan.
