Very nice, and a good i depth video too, those arms look weak though and very long. Wonder what it will be like in a crash....

Tony not everything is designed to withstand a crash, some are supposed to stay in the air.

David is the Godfather of multirotors Tony.
He was making them before the electronics were available.
My first ever tricopter was built from his plans.
His tricopters are very strong, because the arms fold back in a crash.
I love the idea of built in controller. He will sell heaps of those.

David was the main driving force at flitetest for uas designs. He was the one who started the whole bone line at flitetest.
His normal designs have fail points built in. Motors are normally zip tied and the wooden arms break before anything else. Big plus for a rebuild.
