Quad copter motor arm placemnt

Good evening and thank you for reading and thank you alot for responding.

What are the benefits/draw backs of placing motors on a quad below or above the motor arm.

I read somewhere that video jello can be caused by prop wash striking the motor arm when the motor is mounted above the motor arms?

Props above the arms is certainly more common
:slight_smile: props dont interfere with the payload
:slight_smile: potential for bigger props
:frowning: more vibrations as propwash hits the arms

There’s always the coax quad (quadX8) where you have both, redundancy too!
The quad format allows for bigger props than the same size hex or octo.
