The embodiments relate to an apparatus for controlling the angular position of propeller guards of a multicopter. The apparatus includes a chassis having at least three sides, including first and second sides meeting at a first vertex and second and third sides meeting at a second vertex. Each side is in communication with at least one propeller. At least one guard is in communication with the chassis. Each guard corresponds to a respective side, and each guard has oppositely disposed first and second terminals. The apparatus further includes a rotation mechanism in communication with the at least one guard to control an angular position of at least one guard relative to the chassis. The angular position is controlled in real time to mitigate damage with regard to an approaching or potential obstacle.
