Basic Understanding
The Quadcopter (Quad) is also called Quadrocopter,
Quadricopter, Quad Rotor or Drone. They all belong to
the multi rotors RC category. A Quad have four
propellers arranged in across type configuration. The
propellers are fixed pitch, two will spin clockwise and the
other two will spin counter clockwise. By precisely
spinning these four propellers at different speeds, the
aircraft is able to take off vertically, hover and fly in all
directions. The Quads are very simple when compared to
RC helicopters. All that is needed is a frame, motors, the
ESC’s (Electronic Speed Controller), propellers, the
receiver-transmitter, an electronic stabilization system
and a Li-Po battery.
