OK so i finally am venturing into something i have always get my feet wet in, the the RC community, and what better way to get into RC stuff is the currently very popular quad-copter platforms.
Of course this is not going to be any regular quad-copter, since my love for tinkering with things influences about everything i purchase these days.
So decided to get the OFFICIAL 3DR Robotics ArduPilot 2.6 flight controller board, in a kit with the powerful Nema 6-H GPS module and wireless telemetry.
So now that i have shared with what is going to be the brain of our drone, i was enlightened that not every one knows what a RC Multirotor craft might consist of. So since i love sharing my knowledge i think i will try to share as much of the little knowledge i have gained over the past two month tinkering with this new world of technology(to me).
OK so lets take it from the top, i am sure a lot of you have played with a remote control car at some point in your life. The concept is the same we have a Vehicle in my case i chose an aerial vehicle, and to top that a MultiRotor vehicle.
MultiRotor means that unlike a regular airplane we have multiple rotors providing thrust on multiple fixed wings. Rotor = Motor.
In the next post i will provide a Bill of Materials for this quad copter, although i have gone through multiple major revisions of my aircraft i will only provide the latest as hopefully my Blog will provide the knowledge base for you not to make the same mistakes as i made.
