Dear All

I am interested in "Paparazzi helicopter" I want to use Paparazzi helicopter autopilot hardware as well as software.I saw one news in paparazzi like this:
The first Paparazzi helicopter, Twisted Logic proved that a passively stable helicopter could operate well in mild outdoor winds and also took 2nd place in the indoor competition,

So anybody have detail idea/information regarding Paparazzi helicopter.

Thanks for help

1.) there is no "Paparazzi helicopter"

2.) Twisted Logic was passively stable, so there was no need for complex IMU algorithms.

3.) the Quadrotor project is the closest thing to a heli AP from paparazzi, however attitude stabilization is as far as the "autopilot" has gotten.

4.) Im not saying it cant be done, Im just saying the code does not exist so it wouldnt be plug and play, it would take some work and knowledge to create the interfaces and control logic.
