Love this unit. The Propeller chip is very nice. Multitasking should surely come in handy. The stability is very impressive. Could you tell me about how much this unit has cost you so far?
@FlyMario2 - $50 for the gyro sensor, $25 for the Parallax Protoboard, $30 for each motor ($120), $10 for the arms ($40), and then landing gear and assorted other bits probably adds another $50 or so. I already had the radio system and battery, which aren't cheap, and I made the body and motor mounts on my CNC machine. I've used plastic plumbing fittings before and they work just fine.
So, probably $300 for the unit itself, plus battery, receiver, and transmitter.
nice. very stable. good job!
