"Interesting, I don't recognize that one. It looks simple and small, not like a "professional" SAR drone, but it only has a GoPro on the bottom."
Simone Chiaretta commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Reminder: Last weekend for the current T3 competition!"Looks like nobody competed in this contest this time: I guess all compterists were busy with the beerlift contest from HobbyKing :)
Maybe were the rules to complex?"

Breck Baldwin commented on Simone Chiaretta's blog post The Towel, a super-cheap airframe from The Brooklyn Aerodrome (via Make Magazine)"Yep, making a bigger prop hole helps with noise as does putting it as far back as possible in the slot. I think the noise comes from disturbed air hitting the front of the prop.
The noise is sort of a safety feature so I never sought to minimize…"

As you might have heard, a few days ago a strong earthquake hit the North of Italy, destroyed lots of industrial buildings and caused several deaths. On an Italian news portal there is a video of a RC quad (cannot recognize the model, but maybe someone else can) used to survey collapsed buildings, trying to…

TriWiiCopter, a tricopter design using the Wii sensors
Posted on October 4, 2010 at 2:00pm 1 Comment 0 Likes
I just stumbled into this project of a super-cheap tri/quad copter build ripping apart the Wii controller (gyros) and the Nunchuck (accellerometers): TriWiiCopter
It is based on Arduino Mini. Quite a difference from most other copters that use dedicated sensors and super-powerful boards.
