If you have a quadcopter as well as are looking for a beer shipment device, HobbyKing is putting on a beerlift competition The rules for the HobbyKing beer lift are quite simple: lift the most beer with a quad/hex/octo copter as well as win a HobbyKing gift card.
There are 3 classes: Unlimited, which means a vehicle of any type of size goes, a 700 class for copters with a motor-to-motor diameter of 700 mm or less, as well as a catastrophe class for the coolest crash.
So far the largest lift is a monsterous 2 meter octocopter by [Muresan Alexandru Camil] capable of lifting just over 47kg. In the 700 class, a bizarre looking 9-rotor copter developed by the Whac-A-Mole flying team was able to lift 28kg.
The catastrophe category, a smaller quad developed by [Gabriel Devault] was barely able to lift four cans of Coors Light water, while the present catastrophe class leader made a few valiant efforts to lift a keg. Protip: if you’re doing a blooper reel, Yakety Sax is definitely the method to go.
