1. An unmanned aerial vehicle having a yaw axis, a pitch axis, and a roll axis, the unmanned aerial vehicle comprising:

  • a plurality of propeller assemblies, each of the plurality of propeller assemblies configured to rotate about a respective one of a plurality of axes of rotation;

    a base assembly coupled to each of the plurality of propeller assemblies; and

    a vertically-mounted printed circuit board coupled to the base assembly, the vertically-mounted printed circuit board comprising a populated surface and an edge substantially perpendicular to the populated surface,wherein;

    the populated surface of the vertically-mounted printed circuit board lies in a first plane, wherein the first plane is coincident with the yaw axis and the roll axis or parallel to a plane coincident with the yaw axis and the roll axis,a length of the populated surface of the vertically-mounted printed circuit board along or parallel to the roll axis is greater than a length of the base assembly along the roll axis,no portion of the vertically-mounted printed circuit board intersects any of the axes of rotation of the propeller assemblies, andfor each of the plurality of propeller assemblies, no part of the vertically-mounted printed circuit board intersects any projection, in any second plane orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the propeller assembly, of a rotation circumference of the propeller assembly.
