    Hovering Drone....W/Kg Calculation.....

    Oops, I don't know what happened there!! I was too busy arguing via email with my ex wife. Let me delete that if I can. @Fish4Fun I agree that a vacuum would be ideal conditions. I just wanted to say that there are too many variables to be able to measure anything accurately. In strong wind...

    How to rewire a switch so it's always on?

    looking for a "center-bore" motor

    Your post was not very clear at all. That is why other members were trying to help with hollow motors! As for my post in quotes, I simply made your comment smaller with the same result. Spinning a disc with a hole! But this forum is to help others like yourself and me too :) If you want the hole...
