Proto-X Quadcopterhttp://www.estesrockets.com/helis-quads/quadcopters/004606-proto-x Description


Meet the Proto-X. Not only is it the world's smallest quadcopter, it's also one of the world's lightest multi-rotor helis!

Additional Information

http://store.flitetest.com/electrohub-quadcopter-kit/Introducing the Flite Test ElectroHub! A DIY multirotor hub featuring power distribution!

The ElectroHub is made from strong PCB Board.
The ElectroHub Quadcopter Kit comes with everything that you see above.The ElectroHub offers endless multicopter configurations and is designed around 1/2" x 10" booms.

The ElectroHub Quadcopter Kit comes with the motor mounting discs and simple delrin landing gear.

This quadcopter is shown with additional electronics and the Camera Mount Kit.

Josh's Electrohub quadcopter features black spray painted wooden booms and painted camera tray.

With the power distribution of the ElectroHub, Josh was able to tap in the Immersion RC 600mW transmitter into his multirotor design.

Josh took his quad to Europe and you'll be seeing more of it being used in upcoming Let's Fly's!

Peter designed a "T6-O-Copter" with his ElectroHub with a custom designed hood.

This thing looked great in the air and the 6 motors allowed him to fly with a redundant flying setup.

Because of the 'T' shape, the booms are our of the shot and made for a perfect gyro platform.

This thing is powerful! Here it is lifting a smaller quadcopter.

The Electro-Hub creates the possibility to make any kind of cool flying creations that you can imagine!

Here's a tricopter design with aluminium booms.

Here's a prototype of the Flite Test "Tuff Tilt". We're still working out the design, but this tri-copter tilt will be available soon!  Stay tuned!

Chad designed the ElectroHub for his Hexicopter and we've continued testing it with all kinds of other multirotor configuration setups.
The outside of the ElectroHub features solder points for lower amperage hookups.

While the larger pads are designed to connect your ESC's and gives you your main power line.
