Here is the new Aeroquad quadcopter, I have named it "El Quatro". The aeroquad is an Arduino-based system seen here http://aeroquad.info/bin/view I desgned and cut out the hubs with my CNC router and the arm are made out of 12.5mm aluminum knitting needles . This video is a bench test with the 12x3.8 props to see what the max thrust is. Looks like it makes over 16 lbs! Notice the arms flexing! This thing is scary!!!

  • Actually, Trex 450 tail booms are 12 mm, so it's almost perfect fit.

  • You're getting a lot of flex on those needles. Try using Trex 250 tail booms, they're cheap as dirt, and lighter with less flex.

  • hello, very good job. you got a router connected to the Arduino and from there you communicate with the PC, used to control the El Quatro. .... how to connect the router to the arduino.?

  • CRAP! I thought my knitting needle idea was original....I think I'm using the exact same ones.... lol

    Nice build!
