| 1 | The Lynxmotion Multirotor Erector Set (M.E.S.) is made up of interchangeable modular components, allowing you to create your own multirotor UAV / drone; from quadcopters and hexacopters, to X8 and more. The system is based around nearly indestructible aluminum brackets which incorporates four 2-56 threaded mounting holes on the side. The plates are made from non-conductive, durable G10 composite, and the tubes are ultralight carbon fiber. This combination of parts allows UAVs made with these parts to be: |
| 2 | |
| 3 | * Incredibly rigid (minimal flexing) |
| 4 | * Versatile (integrated mounting for upgrades) |
| 5 | * Lightweight (use of composites and Aluminum) |
| 6 | * Modular (change the frame / use different length tubes) |
| 7 | * No soldering required |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Parts can be purchased individually, and we have created a variety of starter kits based on the modular concept. A variety of center plates and tube lengths are available. |

| 21 | **MES - Power Distribution Board (PDB)** |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The Multirotor Erector Set (MES) Power Distribution Board (PDB) is a highly versatile system; its two PCB design (separate positive and negative power planes), 4oz copper thickness and two battery inputs, allows it to easily power up to 8 UAV motors with a continuous current capacity of 20 amps each (160A total) and a peak / instantanous current capacity of 35A per motor (280A total). |

| 37 | **MES - Folding Propeller Hub** |
| 38 | |
| 39 | The Lynxmotion MES Folding Propeller system allows you to fold each propeller into a much more compact area. Its center hub made from billet aluminum provides you with a sturdy mounting base which should not warp or break. And in the event of a crash, only only one side of the prop (blade) will likely need to be replaced. |
