ArduCopter

DJi Phantom has made the whole "flying with a camera" thing available to a huge crowd of idiots...

ArduCopter, a fully-autonomous multicopter and heli UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicle) system. ArduCopter is an easy to set up and easy to fly platform for multirotors and helicopters. Its features go far beyond the basic manual control RC multicopters on the market today. Unlike RC-only multicopters, ArduCopter is complete UAV solution, offering both remote control and autonomous flight, including waypoints, mission planning and telemetry displayed on a powerful ground station. .

Well it's that time again , I tried it in 2009 with Paparazzi ,I broke my laptop then and life decided to beat the proverbial sh@%t out of me and everything, sport and hobby related became less important...2012 ...time to try again ..

First of , My native language is Afrikaans , so tense and spelling mistakes will be happening ...! or is that ...will happen ? ;-)

Okay , after weeks of reading , looking at prices , weighing pro's and cons I decided to go for ArduCopter , Relative cheap , big online support and I forked out the money for 3DRobotics 3DR Quad with all needed electronics ...

What will follow is YABL (Yet another build log) , well I did it for Paparazzi why not now again ?
