L.I.F.E.kopter is the MK Project of ["SelectaT"]

L.I.F.E. stands for:

 '''L''' (symbolizes the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glider_%28Conway%27s_Life%29 Glider] in Conway's Game of Life)

 '''I''' nverse

 '''F''' rame

 '''E''' xperience

... and of course for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life life] and all around it!!!


= Forethoughts =

I decided to try an inverse frame (propellers under the frame) for two main reasons:

   * pushing props are supposed to be more effective than pulling props because nothing (no frame, in this case) is in the way of the streaming air - result: fewer swirls, higher efficiency, less noise (hopefully!)

   * the frame ends (extended around rotors) can be used as rotor protection and feet at the same time

Apart from this, you can now use larger more UFO-like caps because there is more room on top of the frame ;-)

more to follow...
