Beginnings of a Quadcopter Project

A friend posted this video on Facebook of a First Person View (FPV) quadcopter flying through an abandoned building all while performing some pretty cool stunts. After watching the video four of us were hooked.

Deciding that we wanted to be out flying FPV quads by the end of September (about a month) we started researching. None of us have experience with quads, but I do have experience flying model airplanes, so basically we have to learn everything.

Hopefully this blog simplifies our design process (which at this time amounts to system integration) and provides a good tutorial for other newcomers to the hobby.

The four of us are all electrical engineers, so at least the electronics shouldn't be hard...
