So, along with so many other un-finished projects, I have also began to play around with quad-copters.
I have previously built my own quad-copter frames using wire-screen aluminium as the framework and 1mm aluminium as the plates and fastened together with silicon and rivets. Link to short video on how to build one of these to be added.

These were somewhat successful and flew very well, however they bent when crashed, and this was a major bummer as I crash a lot!
I have now moved onto using in-expensive frames from eBay in this my learning phase of quad-copter mastery.
I started off with the CC3D flight controller from Openpilot which I found to be excellent, and have moved onto a Flip32 with on-board Barorometer and Compass and External GPS. This is still a work in progress. I have also built a Phantom 2 copy using a shell from Buzz hobbies and a NAZE32 Acro flight controller. This one looks great and flies very well so far.
So this is my DJI 450 copy:

More to follow soon.
Slippery Out!
