You design looks good though. I spent a lot of time on both the square and round designs when I was part of the arducopter project...   Ken

This is just one more topic he is clueless about. Where does he think most of the technology advances came from? NASA...

The problem with using nylon fasteners is that will stretch over time. Sure they'll shear in a crash but I doubt that it would save much. I use steel hardware on my frames and lock nuts. I also don't use thin wall square tubing that…

I believe it was 6061 and I'll have to check old emails to see what the cost of the anodizing was. This was done on a CNC Punch by a company in Arkansas. They do great work.

Excellent! I just wish the decision was made to go with aluminum when I was on the arducopter frame development team. I had a couple of aluminum prototypes made here in the US that turned out very good. Two sets were powder coated and one was…

Are you using counter rotating propellers? If you are not, That would explain the quad wanting to rotate.

NASA's successes far outweigh their failures. A lot of the current consumer electronics we use are a result of NASA research. What trash we leave on Mars is minute compared to what we have in Geostationary orbit around earth.

As a former member of the frame development team, I like your approach. My choice was for all aluminum parts, but that didn't work out and plastics won out. Got any better pictures of how you've attached the landing gear to the arms?

While I really like the video's, I think his flight over parts of NYC was irresponsible and thoughtless. I would imagine if his home city was affected by a 911 event like NYC he may feel differently. I would have less of a problem if this would…
