Hi guys,
Have been curious about these things for a few years now, but I have finally plucked up the courage to actually go ahead and build something. I have done quite a bit of research, but having only built motorbikes this is quite a challenge I am guessing, and I am fully aware that I am most likely going to get stuck somewhere. But my motivational approach now is to just get parts as and when I find them.
I am planning on writing this up similar to the way I wrote up my dissertation, to keep track of what I am doing, what problems I encounter and what gets done to overcome them, it maybe blog worthy but we will see. So far this ismy approach.
Found motors and speed controllers as a package, so ordered 4 and see what turns up in the post. I can't find a spec on them at the moment but as they are affordable, if I can't get them to fly, then I will build something else from them they won't get wasted. Once I have seen and played with them I can start to calculate size and weight limits.
you can expect a few questions from me on the newbie site as I get going, I hope one day, I will be able to start answering questions for others too.
All the best
Rob
