To the FliteTest Community;
This week we had 7th grade student Jack Curtis investigate, design, create, and evaluate his very own Quadcopter. With the skills learned in the MESArcFF and 7th grade Design programs, Jack was able to design and create is own quad. Jack got a little inspiration from our first attempt on a 3D printed multirotor and ran with it, spending time creating his own arms, chasis, hole placements for parts, etc. He could have easily went to Thingsiverse and used someone elses files, but he didn't, and because of that, this projects becomes his own, and it is very impressive. He first used 123D design for his parts, then he 3D printed them using our makerbots, assembled and never stopped flying.
If you would like to see his design available at our website, please let us know and we will make it happen.

Jack talks about his creation.
He came up with a cool idea of having hooks under the arms to ziptie his ESCs.
It flies great!
Jack getting too comfortable, trying to land on the bench.
His quad still has design features that he wants to tryout, including being able to fold his arms in, and attach prop savers to his arms. Too Cool!
Watching and being proud, priceless!
