MR101 Intro to Multi-Rotors

This is the first of a series of classes for both novice and experienced pilots desiring to learn how to build and fly multi-rotor RC (radio controlled) aircraft. The class will have a "hands on" approach with physical examples, a power point presentation as a follow along, and a packet of resources compiled by hackerspace members Alan Chervitz and George Papabeis.

1. How they fly.
2. Types – Tris, quads, hex & octos, V-tails, Co-axials, "drones"
