OpenFly certainly has immediate evocative impact. People would generate a lot of word of mouth advertising by it. Social networks would give it much attention. You would reach a heck of a lot more people with the humor of the double entendre than you could ever reach with other means.
[size=+2]" IcarUS"[/size] Icarus in Greek mythology is a mythical pioneer who attempted to conquer the skies
I like the US at the end of this name (US United States)
I think this name follow the general idea of MadeUSA
I think It doesn't matter the dead of "Icarus".
The main point is the passion to conquer the skies and the brilliant mind of the human to ghange the destiny.
I can see both here in this forum!
If it came down to me voting, I would of course vote for my DragonFly name, But if I could not vote for my own name, I would most definitely vote for OpenFly. However, I would never let anyone play with my openfly.
lol, please excuse me as my mind floats down the gutter.
Icarus flew too high, the wax that held the feathers on his wings melted, he fell down and died in the sea.
Maybe not the right name...
It think it was recently removed, but for a long time there was a life-sized statue of Icarus in lifelike detail and mid-fall hanging from the ceiling of the main gallery of New Orleans' airport. I always thought it was an odd choice.

I don't know if it's still there, but the USAF museum in Ohio used to have one, too.
I thought the same thing you did. What exactly is the message here as I walk into the entrance?
Based solely on a Google search, a numerical prefix yields good results. For example:
4OS Quadrocopter (for open source Quad-ro-copter) 4OS Quadracopter (for open source Quad-ra-copter)
4OS Quadcopter (for open source Quadcopter)
4P QuadroCopter
4P UAV
Certainly leaves room for additional models, like a 3OS or a 6OS Quadcopter
=================================================================
Google Search results for Quadrocopter, Quadracopter were also very good.
Parallax Quadrocopter, Parallax Quadracopter
Propeller Quadrocopter, Propeller Quadracopter

Also very good...
1. Prudence (Wisdom)
2. Justice
3. Fortitude
4. Temperance
or The Forerunner, Four Runner

Based on those criteria, I'm afraid the "Cardinal" would exclude too many of us!
Rich,
"OpenFly" was too good! It won't win (unforunately), but let it stand on its own merits. Don't neutralize it by adding the "er". Sheesh!

E for ???
L for ???
E for ???
V for Vehicle
8 for Prop
---> Parallax VTOL platform (I like this one because it's name says exactly what it is)
micro-VTOL
(Vertical take off and Landing)
---> Parallax VTOL UAV
Do a google search for VTOL or VTOL UAV
Parallax UAV
Parallax UAV platform
Parallax "Multi-Function" Quad-Copter
Parallax "Multi-Functional" Quad-Copter
Parallax "Multi-Purpose" Quad-Copter
Open R/C UAV
==================================================
Taking a different approach: IF Parallax named for a comic book character?
Yellow light of fear --> YLF
YLF-4
Hal Jordan -->HJ UAV
=====================================================
Pursuit aircraft had the P designation
P4 or P-4
Or the spyplane U designation
U4 or U-4
Q4
The Quad-copter is the X-22's little brother: X-22b
In sum, a good laugh may be the right approach.

How about...
OpenFly with superior COG-native intelligence.
(Cog Air is my 2nd choice now.)
Maybe not the right name...
Maybe one of the ancient Gods had a chariot with a good name?

So how about Psyche? She was the prettiest gal in the world, made Venus jealous. And after she was turned into a nymph, she almost could fly.
lol, please excuse me as my mind floats down the gutter.
Also, I think Daedalus would be more appropriate than Icarus. Daedalus was the inventor (Icarus's father) who also flew but stayed away from the sun.

$250.00. Whoa!
Beau, you're right - bummer to not be able to play!

Propeller UP!
Neatly pushes both the brains and the motive power in the direction they're meant to go.
It's a lot better than my other idea, which was based on the ratio of cogs to rotors.
I don't know if it's still there, but the USAF museum in Ohio used to have one, too.

But "OpenFly Cog Air" would get more attention
...If your intention is to put a camera one it
Gosh, how about that. If you say it that way, it takes on a whole new meaning!
4OS Quadrocopter (for open source Quad-ro-copter)
4OS Quadracopter (for open source Quad-ra-copter)
4OS Quadcopter (for open source Quadcopter)
