Though I'm not an FPV race guy but rather hovering instead of fast forward flying, I decided to build one together with a friend.
We took all parts for the basic setup from the Flyduino Shop as it offers almost everything needed.

We already had a few peripheral parts like the FPV cam and transmitter, lipos and RC receiver.
For a start we used an FrSky 8channel PPM receiver and a Taranis.
The X4RSB 3 receiver offers both S-Bus and S-Port (for telemetry) which we will use later.


The build consists of the following parts:

- Warthox MiniCP120 with carbon fibre arms

Welcome to my second build log!

After finishing the ArduCopter Build Log I decided to go for something real cheap.
I came across the MultiWii project coded by Alexinparis and supported by a huge number of subscribers who experimented with gyros and accelerometers from Wii Motion Plus and Nunchuck clones.

My aim was to build a complete copter for the price of a GAUI344 brain (210$) or the ArduCopter APM/IMU combo (220$). Here's what came out:




The image shows a previous frame which I used to test the components. See my new frame for AP/AV below.

The original ArduCopter is a project of the DIY drones team.

The original ArduCopter has gone commercially now...




Meanwhile a very international and very active community used this blog to fill the gaps in the "original" project.

NOTE: The further development of the "official" Arducopter NG code was taken over by the Pirates!
ArduPirates are now teaming up and joining forces with the Arducopter Team.
