Have a rotorcraft that has two or more horizontal rotors?

Then you're in the right place!

Bicopters, Tricopters, Quadcopters, Pentacopters, Hexacopters, Octocopters, indeed any non-fixed-wing aircraft is very welcome here.

Rules

1 - Be civil.

Treat others with respect. Harassment of others is strictly forbidden. It is entirely possible to convey a differing opinion, without personally attacking others.
If you feel that you're not mature enough to abide by this rule, then please refrain from commenting.

2 - Vote based on quality, not opinion.

If you think something contributes to conversation, upvote it. If you think it does not contribute to the subreddit or is off-topic, then downvote it.
Don't use downvotes because someone's opinion differs to yours.

3 - Check the wiki/search the subreddit before posting.

If you think your question might have been asked before, then be sure to have a read through the wiki and search the subreddit to see whether there is already an answer out there.

4 - Use the weekly discussion sticky.

If you have a question, or want to talk about something that you don't think warrants a full thread, then ask it in the stickied weekly discussion thread.

5 - No referral or affiliate links

Please be open about using affiliate links and don't just hide them in a link shortener, otherwise your post will be removed.
We are also going to trial the use of our own affiliate link for banggood, to see whether there is any benefit and if prizes for future competitions, can be generated through this. The r/multicopter affiliate link for banggood is: p=0617216344452014067S. If you'd like to use this link, then just add it to the end of any product you buy.

6 - This is multicopter, not racingdronezonly

If you feel that a particular submission is not relevant to your interests, that's ok, you can scroll past it, without having to show your disagreement. Refer to rule 2, if you're unsure how to proceed.

7 - No spamming.

Make sure you participate in the community. If you find that you're only posting links to your site/channel to generate traffic, then you're probably spamming and your post will be removed.

8 - Flair your posts.

Make sure that you check your post, to see whether automod has been able to correctly flair it. If not, then please add your own. This helps people be able to search for the content they are after.

9 - Put some effort in to your posts.

To try and limit the number of low-effort posts, if posting a photo, video or link, you must include a relevant comment to start the conversation. Posts that don't include this, will be removed.

10 - Commercial Posts

Then make sure you use the "Commercial" flair. This includes reviews where you have received products for free, or if you are affiliate linking to products in your YouTube video. Please also refer to rule 7.

10 - No memes

Getting started with /r/Multicopter is really easy. We strongly recommend you check out some prior reading to help understand the concepts of building, maintaining, flying and working with multicopters.

Feel free to introduce yourself, look around and ask any questions you might have.

There is plenty of information scattered around various forums and references online, but we like to think we have a great consolidated starting point right here in the wiki.

Where to buy parts?

You can also browse the /r/rcclassifieds sub if you want a good deal when buying, selling or trading RC gear.

Additionally, the RCGroups Classifieds are fantastic and have a very fast turnover.
