Normal flight in the case of motor loss can only be achieved with an 8 motor aircraft, a 6 motor aircraft should stay in the air but with compromised yaw control, and a 4 motor quad cannot fly at all in the case of any drive failure. To this end the Mini 8 was designed.

At 3.4 Kgs this leaves 3.6 Kgs of flight weight to be used for batteries and payload. The balance between the two is up to the operator and will depend on the requirements of the flight and payload. This aircraft is capable of flying more than 30 mins with no payload, and over 15 mins with a payload of 1.8 Kgs (using a 16Ah 5s lipo @ 1.75 Kgs) giving an AUW just under 7 Kgs. It can be fitted with retracts or fixed landing gear, anti vibration mounting, includes built in FPV camera if required, and can be folded quickly without tools for transportation. This aircraft is also extremely quiet!
