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.?
