I quickly assembled the 450 v2 Frame. So I can hold it in my hands and look at it from several angles, feel how rigid or flexible it is. I have already found a few issues that I will have to solve. There are no mounting holes for controller boards like KK or MultiWii as …

I have been waiting long time for misc parts for the Bixler build. Finally the Motor/ESC arrived and I can now start assembling the fuselage. I have plans for a shelf that fits inside the fuselage – under the wing so it can be a mounting plate for Receiver, UBEC, OSD or other items. I …

I finally ordered a Bixler and some parts from HobbyKing. My intentions are to have it as a platform to test the MultiWii software (in airplane mode) I will also have it as a smaller fun-fly FPV rig with lighter FPV gears on it (small camera, simple OSD and 5.8Ghz video)
