Quadcopters

Quadcopter A quadcopter, or a quad, is a kind of drone that has four propellers branching off in four different directions so as to balance and over all fly better.  Movement A quad is nothing like a helicopter in flight, it slows down the front two engines slightly so that it is tipped forward. Once tipped forward it steadies the engine so that it moves forward.  it can do this with all of the engines enabling it to go in all directions. Workings A quad’s workings are the most important part of the drone. With out them, this amazing machine would only be a cool looking scrap of plastic. The mother board is connected to eight wires, two go to each motor. Next, a few more wires connect to LED lights, and two to the battery. Still, yet more wires connect to the flight control board which then connects to the remote. How to fly Flying a quad is also nothing like a helicopter.

This morning, me mom, and dad discovered that we had attracted much more beautiful birds with our new bird feeder. I immediately came to the thought of making a birdhouse to. We went down to the basement and started to make the dimensions. It took us half an hour of math and numbers before we even used anything beside a pencil. After cutting the front and back we talked about pythagoras theorem for a bit trying to get the dimensions for one part of the top.

We ripsticked to Orange Leaf then went home. Zack’s dad picked him up and I went back to the Chu’s. We worked on the flote some more then me and dad went home. Dad took a shower then we went back to the Chu’s. Me, Dad, and Mike took the float to the lamb roast. Then me, Ezra, Waylon, William, Evan, and Matteus started a game of manhunt. After the first two games, Julean started playing too. After many more games the lamb came out. I had 5 helpings. A lot of people went on the float, and we took it down a super steep hill to Parts and Crafts. Then we all walked back to the lamb roast. We had dessert and a song. Then...
