Didn't see this elsewhere so I thought I'd mention: The September 2012 issue of SERVO has a nice article by editor Bryan Bergeron on his build of the Parallax ELEV-8. It's part 1, with subsequent issues containing more. The article is a step-by-step of his build process, where he also notes how long it takes. Nice photos of the components taken while building.

    I also saw this.

    I had just built an ELEV-8 myself. I had wondered about connecting all four BECs together. After reading Bryan's article, I followed his advice and pulled the 5V pin out of all but one ESC connector.

    I think I've recently caught Quadcopter Fever. After purchasing the $100 Turnigy copter and building the ELEV-8, I finally put together a larger quadcopter with parts I've had sitting around for several years.

    No wonder there has been so much discussion about these on the forum, they're a lot of fun.

    I just submitted my first article to SERVO magazine and they want it for their November issue. An associate publisher got back to me within an hour after my first email, and I found the whole process a marvel of efficiency. I would encourage anyone interested in writing an article to contact SERVO. Writer's guidelines at http://www.servomagazine.com/index.php/writers-guidelines/
