Pulley Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 We've been playing with our quadcopters at work, the 3 axis gyros and auto stability systems are outstanding, we fly ours round our CNC shop and showroom with small cameras so we can give flying guided tours Technology in gyro hardware and advanced software have revolutionised helicopter and quadcopters , when I first started flying and designing rc helicopters about 10 years ago you had to have skill to fly, nowadays the technology makes it so much easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Maybe you could make a modified version and then stick a supercharger on it as well just for a laugh. A swarm of those equipped with camera and/or a plastic charge could be lethal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
