My current goal is a multirotor platform for aerial video and photo!

On the left is my first multirotor, but I soon found the power system would be too weak to carry cameras. So now I am working on my next quadrocopter (on the right), it is significantly more powerful - the total power system is about 2400 watts! The flight controller is an ArduPilot Mega and the ESCs are 60A flashed with SimonK firmware. Test flights will be done with a 4s 4000mah lipo, and loaded flights with a camera will be done with two of those in parallel.
Once I get the electronics plate mounted I should be able to take it out for its first flight!
