Thanks for posting. I have zero interest in multicopters, but a 450 platform could be interesting...

I'm not sure, I was looking through the documents at OpenPilot. I did not even realize that these sort of autonomous projects existed.
http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/Do...licoptor+Mixer I'm quite intrigued by this, It does not seem that any HeliFreaks are into either of these projects? SD Quote:

I'm certainly interested although I'm not sure I really understand what it's all about. From what I've read it sounds to me like you can program your heli to take off, fly to a certain point and altitude, then maybe go somewhere else and then return? Am I right? I don't know.
Given my inability to program my VCR I'd hate to see what I could do with one of these things!

Yes, I think that's a pretty accurate description.. I find it cool for $300-400 you can take your heli to an autonomous level. Best get busy on the VCR programming lol..
