So we'll have to wait and see how the Esc manufactureres respond to this new gen hobby and how?

ESC manufacturers have responded to the multirotor mania pretty well. Castle creations has released a series of multirotor firmware flashed ESCs.(f/w diff. from simonK's) Rctimer has some 10 SimonK flashed ESCs. MontoRC advertises Maytech ESCs suited for multicopters, But then, HK hasn't done anything yet, which makes a lot of difference.

Something off topic, Vineet i noticed your signature now

Very nice

Haha, that signature is quite true, for every noob.

I think I recognize that signature. 

yeah, i copied it from somewhere i don't remember...

Dear Satyagupta Sir,

Really this video link of your's broke the ice... I searched many related things after watching your video link...
Finally I feel like it can be flown within 4-5 days...

Thanks a lot...

As I said I am newbie I dont know how to operate radio and that I have heard needs practice.... Earlier I have made an Airboat with RC stuff but used a surface pistol radio which was no big deal....

M also planning to work on PID control and programming the Quad myself but I am sure it will take some time...

Adiboy you can call me 'Satya' Gupta is my last name and 'Sir' is too much for me

Yeah will keep in mind....
BTW I am Aditya...

great so its Aditya do post your build logs and post queries if any there are many members in RCI who will definitely help you out.

Can anyone please tell me the difference between X copter and plus copter configuration...?

Aditya,  If you are learning how to fly a quad for the first time. Go the + way. It's easy for orientation.  It would feel like a Airplace with a Nose, wings and a tail.  If you start with an X there isn't anything for direction and you might get lost trying to fly.  I started off with the +.  Worked for me.  Others might have a different openion.  But if you are looking at the actual flight differences, I think there are non.

I fly X now.  May be I need to try out the + on my quad just for comparison's sake.

Thanks for ur wonderful opinion... I will keep that in mind and my first config will be +....

The real problem I face is that I haven't used the Radio control ever in my life... So dunno anything about it other than theory...
What Should I do to atleast learn basics of Operation of my Radio....  Btw I own Fly-Sky 6 Channel radio...

Thankyou again...

Therefore one has to start somewhere.  You can and should expect the following:
1. A hole in your Wallet (depends on ....... )
2. Sleepless nights
3. Shouts and screams
4. Cuts and broken props
5. A feeling of giving up (But dont)
6. A feeling of Continuation (But cant)
7. ......
8. .......

Your frighten me..... I am now 

What should be my first step...?

Aditya bro first try to learn flying on FMS simulator. There are some multirotor models available for FMS that you can try and test your skill. Disable channel 5 and 6 for first start.

Dear Dharmik bhai,

I searched about simulator options in my Radio... Fly Sky 6 Channel purchased from aeroworks...

http://www.aeroworks.co.in/radio_8505.html

There is some different cable which connects to this radio and then I can have simulation on my same radio..

Can u find n tell me that cable...?

Hey I didnt mean to scare you.  Really just trying to check your pulse.  If you really love aero modelling and have  aero related virus is in your blood.... then not even the devil can stop you.  So first of all you need to have passion and that my friend.... no one can give you.  But then, you can also buy a ready made model if you think building is not your cup of tea.  But believe me you learn a lot by doing.... Just go for it.

Hey Dreamfly....

I wasn't scared my friend... I was just being sarcastic  ... Making an Airboat was my first venture in RC hobby and I struggled for it 6 months and then finally got it right (not exactly but got a considerable round of applause)... So passion is not at all the issue... Going through the probable right path and learning from experiences of others is my priority here....

Btw Thanks for the heads up...!

Will go on your advice...

Please could u brief me about the hardware arrangement of 'X' copter & '+' copter configuration...

Thankyou...!

Everything is same aditya, just the motor layout changes. In my view + or x both mode are same. X modes are preferred for aerial photography or FPV. As the view is clear in the x mode.

My first build was + now i am doing X mode..

I think you need to also orient the FCB depending on the mode x or +
i.e.
if +, then it has to be placed such that it points to the front prop,
if x, then it has to be placed such that it point between two props.

Is this correct assumption?

Yup it is raja

Thanks buddy

Thanks Satya & Raja....!

Will do the changes and inform you accordingly.... Will post few pics today or tommorow for you guys to get better idea...

Does anybody have idea about the flight simulation cable for Fly Sky 6 Channel Radio...?

Thankyou again...!
