What's the story

My brother-in-law (Dammes) started with a MK beginning 2008 and made some great videos with his MK (ohokopter).

So 21 Juni 2008 I decided to build one myself. To minimize the impact on my banksaldo I try to do this in steps.

First I ordered the frame, motors and the Flight board. When assembling I try to go for the nice look and a compact setup. I thought of leading the wires through the frame but because of the unpracticle aspect of this I decided not to do this. The BL boards neat and tidy aside of the Flight board somehow.

I am planning for nice LED-lightning, camera-features with live connection to earth (no, NASA will have nothing to do with it.. Unless they'd like to ) and GPS features.

But first the BL boards and a landing gear to construct.

The early beginnings

It all started with nothing but gasses. Then after a big bang, some materials started to exist in the strangest shapes. They got bigger and bigger. And by some kind of miracle, they began to move and develop more and more intelligence. That's the way this creation started to rise. At least I like to think so.

The receiver is exactly as big as the Flightboard. Coincidence? Who knows.. I plan to place the receiver as you can see below, to create a compact machine. To do this, the elcos and a transistor needed to move to the other side of the board.

Will be continued

Ordered

BL-boards empty, components, props (6 sets, I think I will need a few spare), pressure sensor, landing-gear strips, Sercon.

Considerations

Putting the boards below the centre frame for a lower middle-weight-point. Better for flying stability I figured. With a good landing gear the electronics will be saver also. (heard about the flip of death )
