= 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...
