Another week, another installment of Raging Rotors! I was just talking with 3DBill after he got back from E-Fest, and we got to talking about all things multirotor. He made a great observation while he was there: Many people when thinking of multirotor just think of quadcopters and maybe hexcopters (since hexcopters have been taking action shots for the Winter [...]
Another day, another installment of Raging Rotors! As I mentioned last week, a recent episode of Modern Family featured a DJI Quadcopter set up for FPV (First Person View). With camera technology getting more affordable for the masses, the usual next step for someone going deep into the world of Quadcopters (whether DIY or RTF) is to dive into picture/video [...]

Granted not a standard method of looking for RC, but you would be surprised what kind of projects you can find in the technology section of that site, besides the means of providing [...]
Hey guys, Ragu here to make your Wednesday a bit brighter with this week’s Raging Rotors. This week I’ll give my impressions on what I found are great quadcopters for you beginning pilots. As a basher, I always want my new RC to be durable as well as forgiving when I make mistakes. When it came to quadcopters, I tried [...]
