[QUOTE="polish_pat, post: 65810, member: 13292"] And even if it was heavier in the back it would be a simple countermeasure of spinning the front props faster (to a certain degree) because this is not a helicopter so it doesn't rely only on one Centre Force pulling it up. I know that folding propellers might be counterintuitive but it's the same reason that if you start spinning in a circle really fast on yourself your arms will move out. my only question is friction going to prevent in keeping the propellers from spinning fast enough to sustain a safe landing? the friction of the motors to free spin versus the size of the propellers because electrical power will overcome this but perhaps not gravity alone. The battery is 96g and i think the drone alone is ballpark 260g. Its 1/4 of the weight [/QUOTE]
