    Classical Looking for a good book explaining physics of a quadcopter

    Thanks for the reply Jack. I have seen some of the hobbyist books and they are really nothing more than a shopping list and building instructions, at that point I would just buy a prebuilt model. We were just talking about this project today and one issue we are investigating is the vortex...

    Classical Looking for a good book explaining physics of a quadcopter

    I have a good basic knowledge of calculus based calssical mechanics from my undergrad work. As far as the quad copter goes I am a newbie but I would like to learn. I am working on adding another minor in electrical engineering to my undergrad degree in chemistry but I also want to connect this...

    Classical Looking for a good book explaining physics of a quadcopter

    I want to build and program a quad copter as a part of my masters work. I would like ot be pointed in the right driection on a good book. I do not want a set of directions to build a rc toy, I have those. I am interested in a book that will cover the basics and equations involved in calculating...

    What are the best resources for seeking help with new physics projects?

    I have used this forum in the past while completing my undergrad physics classes and liked it so I thought I would sign up and get some help on some of my new projects.
