Versacopter Crash!

Recently, my 280-class multirotor pinwheeled into the ground, slicing through all of the ESC connectors. This was purely pilot error, and was not an issue with the quadcopter. To remedy this, I will try to procure new ESCs to get back into the air as soon as possible!

I've recently been working on a 280-size versacopter drone. Here are some pictures:

                                                            Here is a view of the body

                                   These pictures show the ESCs and the battery connections

                                                   Here are my Emax motors I am using:

                                                           Another view of the body:

                                           Here is my FCB(flight control board), the Naze32

                                                 Here are the connections and solder joins:

  Here are two receivers I used. None were compatible with the Naze32. Back to the drawing board!

Christmas!!

Christmas is an awesome time to celebrate Jesus's birth. It also is a great time to get your toy wishes answered! This christmas I have asked for a GoPro Hero 4 Session, which can shoot 1080p at 60fps. This would help me tremendously in my youtube work. I plan to mount it on a remote-controlled tank that I have, and maybe even a submarine!



Also, for Christmas I would like some legos, because I really like building things.
Specifically, the undersea exploration set, because I have always been interested in underwater things like scuba diving and fish. Also, Lego increases your motor skills, and helps create the engineers of tomorrow by exposing them to building and architecture. I also am quite interested in starting mountain biking, because that would make a great youtube video!
The last thing that I would like is a large tripod for the GoPro camera. This would allow me to film sporting events or other populous areas without people getting in my way.

Horray!

As of today, I have fixed my F4U Corsair. Previously in this blog, I showed you the video about the crash, but now I am here to say that all is well. I used standard clear packing tape to fix the wings then flew it in no-wind conditions, and it held up great! Thus concludes the saga of the F4U Corsair.

F4U Corsair Crash!!

My UMX Corsair sadly lost a wing today after me. being a fool, flying it in winds in excess of 10 miles an hour.  The wind buffeted around until the tiny plane could take it no more. But, I did get to tape it back together, and hopefully it will be fine.

Wings!
