/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Anyone here planning on going to Flite Fest?

I kinda want to do a special build for it. Ideally something novel... a real crowd-pleaser. Still looking for ideas at the moment. So far I'm thinking:
>One or three of Otto Dieffenbach's Flyguys
>Some kind of flexible flying train or serpent, with a long segmented train/body following the engine/head
>A steampunk-style flying ship - maybe Jules Verne's Albatross gyrodyne, in multirotor form
>A caricaturized Q-plane, like so but maybe larger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_BfO3t4lF4
>Do a formation aerobatic demo (Blue Angels style) with a few friends, some large high-visibility airframes and pan-and-tilt FPV (for the sake of tighter formation)
Input would be appreciated... additional ideas welcome.

For pure introduction, watch some Flite Test videos. They're very well formatted for beginners. Also check out Joshua Bardwell's channel and OscarLiang.net for more in-depth content (pretty much everything you could ever hope to know about miniquads and then some). That should keep you occupied for a while... and your wallet empty after not too long.
