i woulda thought actually it would be really hard to get the "balance" right, homebrew-wise -but i don't know anything about it. maybe there's some component that does it for you (accelerometer? must be)

yeah, I had some 200g batteries for five minutes of flight time

the rear rotor needs to tilt with a servo, but the control loop gets really tricky

My brother has an FPV drone, damn battery weights way more than the drone itself

oh you really did 3D print. interesting.

zoi (20:51:45)
I've got a tricopter that I haven't fully dialed in

mirrorbird (20:51:31)
fun though -- especially being able to throw an objecti nto the air and it doesn't come back down. LUNAR FUN!

zoi (20:51:21)
one is fully 3d printed. controller board, radio receiver, video transmitter and speed controllers. you can buy that stuff off the shelf

i've only "droned" once, a guy at the university had one, he let me control it for about 10 seconds, but he was paranoid that i would smash his expensive drone into a building or something (also we were near a river)
