quadcopter #7

this quadcopter has already gone through multiple design iterations. three of these made it into actual flying machines.

the design plans for the first can be found here:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:113703.

the design plans for the second can be found here:
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:167001.

the third is not yet on thingiverse.

the following pictures show the various design iterations:

the following videos are the results of a few flights:

quadcopter #6

this is the first laser cut poplar plywood quadcopter. it is a very lightweight design having a takeoff weight of around 550 grams (including lipo 2s 2200mah).

quadcopter #5

this is my second foldable quadcopter.
since the first foldable quadcopter suffered heavily from vibrations the design had to be made much stiffer. this was achieved by increasing the diameter of the carbon rods, shortening of the rods and increasing the diameter of its body.
the design of the quadcopter can be found here.

the following video shows the quadcopter in action:

quadcopter #4

this is my first foldable multiwii quadcopter. it is a very lightweight design and therefore prone to vibrations. in fact, the vibrations were so strong that it was very difficult to fly this multirotor.

quadcopter #3

this quadcopter is almost the same as quadcopter #1 except for its lighter aluminum tubes, a modified landing gear and a support plate for all the fpv electronics. it also features an attachment point for a gopro camera with vibration insulation. since the camera is mounted near the cog of the quadcopter the propellers are always visible in the videos.

quadcopter #2

this is a very lightweight quadcopter made of carbon fiber tubes, glass fiber plates and 3d printed lugs to mount the motors. it is very agile and was actually the quadcopter with which i flew the first looping.

quadcopter #1

this is my very first multiwii quadcopter. it is a heavy-duty model built with aluminum and plastic parts. its main specs are:

takeoff weight:1.35 kg
lipo: 2600 mah
flight time: 8 min
multiwii version: 2.1
rc transmitter: futaba ff-7
rc receiver: frsky tfr7
on-board camera: rollei bullet hd lite 2
