Hi,

I would like to know if there is any advantages or disadvantages in choosing " + " motor configuration over " X " configuration.

Is it more stable and easy to control.. or are they both pretty much same in terms of stability and control..

Thanks ...

.

Don't have much theory to back this, but I would expect that a quad (flying in a forward direction most of the time) would benefit from thrust from rear motors.. in an "x" config, you have two motors at the rear providing thrust while in "+" it's one..

guess so...online videos tells the same.. more motors to provide thrust in X configuration than in + configuration..

Thanks..
