After months of planning, design and testing, tomorrow morning will be the maiden flight of the Aspen V1. Wish me luck! It's a medium lift octocopter running the Naivio2 with a theoretical payload capacity of 2kg (conservatively speaking).3yr ⋅ armagin ⋅ r/diydrones

Crazy idea: I buy 5 Nazgul V2 and move the electronics into a 3.5 frame because I want a more compact freestyle quad. I compensate for the smaller size of the props by using 8 blade props. The Nazgul seems like very good value for the money.2yr ⋅ luovahulluus ⋅ r/diydrones
