I've seen plenty of 3 and 4 rotor multicopters, but not many twins. Is the yaw controlled by rotating the motors fore and aft? Seems far more complex than tri or quad copters.

All of my landings are three point landings if you count the spinner, too

Do you use a control board like the KK, or is it purely by TX input?

Sweptback
Here are a few pictures of another one of my designs I have named Sweptback because of the configuration of the forward arms. The arms are swept to remove the props from the camera's view and because of this, other modifications had to be made to align the Center of thrust with the Center of Gravity. Original, this was a Tricopter design however I found this V-Tail configuration to be much more efficient.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-cZpvOf2cw The mission of this copter is to carry a camera payload to a predetermined altitude and location, hover about, then return home. So none of my video will be about proving how well this design can handle 3D or Sport Flying. First rounds of testings looks very promising, nice and stable in mild winds, gust about 10-14mph. In this video, only the Gyro and Accelerometer are used. Next rounds of testing will include GPS and Altitude holding. These copters use the MultiWiiCopter Flight controller Firmware running on ATMega328, Version II is using an ATMEGA 1280. |

Nice job there Tarheal63, always have loved those DT750, a very strong and reliable motor.
