For price and reliability: APC props. Graupner blades are quieter, gave me a hair longer flight time and have strong hubs. Stock props will self destruct in flight.

I like that! This will probably be the first of many shell designs for the F550.

Props, get good props. I think most crashes are caused by props breaking in flight. If you happen to crash your craft you'll need to inspect those props for reliability. Stick with APC props in the beginning. They are flexible, take a beating and reliable. Upgrade to Graupners once your...

It's funny that you mentioned this. I flew with Intelligent Orientation Control activated. It works fine once you launch it in the direction that you will fly it. Right will be right, left will be left, up is up and down is down. Now if you fly your craft behind it's launch point the...

Lol.

Here's DJI's video of their new props. Youtube: http://youtu.be/2yfRCdGjEcE

Photogrammetric data processing?? I just want to put a camera up in the air and take pictures. I'll leave the innovation to MIT students. I think DJI found it's customer base by providing a relatively simple flight system that allows most to fly and take aerial photos. Despite professional...

It looks pretty portable. It's small and light enough to put it where you need it. If the price is right you'll see more "drones" in the skies.

I'm impressed! I had the Lego digital designer on my computer for about two years, but never really did anything with it...until now. :) These flight controllers will fly just about anything. Your video is proof. This idea is like Christmas coming early for me. lol!

I'm thinking camera gimbal, or the self leveling quad copter frame..... thank you for providing a great idea!

This has my mind working overtime right now. Legos are pretty strong and glueing the parts together should make it rock solid! Great idea. Plus you can design and make any shape that you want. I like this idea! No more expensive frames, or expensive CAD designs. :)

Very cool! Ideas are coming to mind...

I like it!

I've wondered the same question about flat vs. the cylinder motors. I would like lighter motors if the pancakes would fit the bill.

The Shark group had a Mikrokopter shot down before. This is the second video of one of their copters going down.

Can you rebalance and unbalanced battery?? I just received this error on my recharging station on Genesis 6000 mah lipos.

I did a short flight outside today in the windy cold. My Y6 under 5.16 flew pretty good. It flew better than the 5.14 update. Normally I would get a few white lights when I flew in windy conditions like today. I didn't see any. I flew in GPS and Intelligent Orientation Control without...

I did a hover test indoors and didn't see any change in performance (Attitude mode). I will test it outside today. Hopefully I won't have issues like the last time I tested carbon fiber props. My new props resulted in a costly crash. I have a Y6 and the new firmware states that it's able...

Excellent!

I upgraded to 5.16. I test flew my Y6 indoors. It was just a low hover check. I didn't notice any difference in my flight performance during the hover check. The low battery state yellow strobe flashes much slower than the prior firmware upgrade. I wonder if the speed of the strobe...
