First Manned Multicopter Takes Flight!
Check it out, see if you can figure out the controller logic to make this safe as possible. A step beyon fly-by-wire for certain. Maybe with some aluminum, rivits and 4 quad boards you too could be seated above a blender. 😉

Stinger Quad Copter Test Flying Today
Did a flight test on the soon to be released Stinger Quad Copter. However, I failed to properly secure a set screw, losing a motor on a Quad copter is a problem.  After airing it off (landed in a puddle) I’ll wait for it to dry completly and remount the motor. More flying Wednesday.
