Whos still got their first multirotor laying around collecting dust? Looking for something I can learn on, no real requirements as long as its in half decent shape. If it eventually be retrofitted to carry a gopro or something small for fpv (or already has it)- even better. Thanks gents.

*Whispers 4-stroke glow* Significantly smaller and lighter than a gasser, no tuning hassles after its initially set up. How feasible would it be to use one as a generator?

A smart idea would be to use airplane 4-strokes, they are way easier to tune than 2-stroke nitros and are fairly maintenance free apart from making valve lash adjustments every once in a while. They are also more fuel efficient than their 2-stroke counterparts, but run hotter and louder. They...

Thanks! If you're into models, its a Monogram 1/8- they have other cool ones like the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Ams, various generations of Vettes, Jags, and a few others. I stopped the project because I want to build everything with a CNC instead of hacked up parts from other cars and a...

I call it big blue, my last truck (sold everything else)- its got about 18 gallons on the chassis. Picco 28 powered with various mods, most durable truck I've owned: Owned a highly modded T-maxx and Kyosho MFR. The Maxx had $1500 in it and broke all the time, got fed up with it. The Kyosho I...

Anyone flying in the NYC/ Long island area? I'd like to check out some machines :). Have a good weekend!

You're right, I was estimating on the frugal side :D. Theres no budget for this project, but as always the more cost effective way to go is always beneficial- of course I don't want to be cheap and sacrifice quality+ encounter problems cause of that. I'll let my partner deal with that, hes...

Thanks gents!! Did more research and found out that the Cinestar and Sky Jib 8s are being used to fly Epics around, along with Cinestar having 2/3 axis gimbals. In kit form, the Cinestar 8 is about $3500- plus the radio setup/ odds and ends, the $1500 3 axis gimbal and the broadcasting gear-...

Thanks for sharing your insight, I appreciate it. I plan on building my own, what I'm sure I'll struggle with the most will be the electronics as these machines seem to be quite advanced. * Specific question for the heavy lift application, what kind of issues can I expect to run into with...

http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?1574-10kg-Heavy-lifter&highlight=10kg I stumbled upon that thread when searching through the forum, seems promising with specs I'd need. The camera I plan on eventually using with the final setup is the Red Epic. Dimensions are here...

Greetings gentlemen! I'll try to make this as short as possible for you guys. I have been doing research to try to figure out the best platform that I can use for a project I'd like to tackle and eventually accomplish. The end goal is to build an aircraft capable of flying with an 18-20lb...
