    Copter Control loop and rolling

    I'm in the UK again now and will probably have a crack at building my own but those Droidworx frames do look very nice.

    How do

    A couple of development CopterControl boards dropped through my letterbox this morning. They are stabilization only, don't have a mag so not to good for hold, thats the preserve of the main project, the OpenPilot board. However if your moving, ie in an aircraft you will be able to add...

    SnapQuad/KK build thread.

    How heavy is that wooden frame, I rather like the idea of using vibration reducing radio friendly wood. Its a very clever design. I really like the idea of being able to fix something with wood glue. Rather tempted to order one of my own...
