| 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. |

| 31 | |
| 32 | The VTail multi-rotor UAV is a high performance quadcopter. Unlike other 'x' (where the front of the UAV is facing between two legs) or '+' (where the front is facing one of the legs) quadcopters and Y-shaped tricopters, the VTail concept uses two angled rear propellers, merging both concepts. |

| 74 | **MES - Folding Propeller Hub** |
| 75 | |
| 76 | 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. |
