Polakium Engineering SSh170

The Polakium Engineering SSH170 is my latest micro quad build following the latest trend of micro racing quads. The thrust to weight ratio of this build is somewhere around 8:1 which makes it incredibly overpowered. It is also very small, with a 170mm motor to motor distance.

Rocket-Launching quadcopter

The Rocket-Launching Quadcopter (RLQ) is a large, heavy-lift quadcopter that I designed as a mobile rocket launch platform.  The RLQ is the first quadcopter to attempt a live model rocket launch while in flight.  The quadcopter was designed to be over-built and very large so that it could withstand many crashes while still maintaining a high payload capacity. 

3D -Printed Micro H-Quadcopter

This is my second micro quadcopter build.  I designed this frame using Autodesk Inventor and had it 3D printed using an AO-100 3D printer.  The frame is based on a traditional h-quadcopter, but has a few modifications in order to improve durability.  Due to it's small size, this quadcopter is ideal for aerobatics.

$160 FPV Setup

For FPV, I wanted something that I could use on both my airplanes and my multirotors and I needed the whole setup to be small, light weight and portable - with as little setup time as possible.  The total cost of this entire setup including the camera, transmitter receiver and ground station was $160.

DJI Quadcopter

The DJI F450 was my first attempt at building a multirotor.  I used ideas inspired from many other multirotor users when choosing my power system and flight controller.  This project has a break down of all the parts I purchased as well as a detailed build log for the major components. 

X250 Quadcopter

The X250 uses a MultiWii Controller (MWC) board integrated into the frame itself and utilizes gyros, accelerometers, a magnetometer and a barometer for very stable flight.
