Different multicopter configurations

A list of different configurations you can build a multicopter in. It would be cool to build one in every different config to find out the pros and cons of each type as well as to experience different flight charasteristics. I made these pictures for something totally different but thought that I could share them here too. If you know...

Even though he clearly didn’t put too much effort into the design the concept was cool and the idea was quite simple even if it might look complicated. I knew I could do much better job in creating one of...

PC HDD bay upgrade

Got some more storage for my PC recently. These are the parts that I got from ebay and banggood.com. 4-port SATA expansion card and bays to house 3x 3.5″ drives and one 2.5″ SSD. Disgustingly dusty PC. Cleaned all that too. Just installing these was kind of straight forward operation and not too exciting at all. The important decision, red...
