Well CES is one of my favourite times of the year, it has already pass this year. But we are left with all kinds of videos from CES. Here is a cool-ish gaming controller, that I think would be great for FPV fliers. You could build something similar to the concept for not too much. BTW...

Haha, time is very hard to some by. :)

Thanks for the tutorial, looks great and I can tell you really put a LOT of thought into this.

This video will never get old. haha. It has gone pretty much viral, I showed this to a few friends who don't really know what quadcopters are, and they loved it haha.

Haha, it look like a really fun flyer.

Haha, great video. Does it feel touchy on the sticks, and are there other mode settings?

The signal will be in PWM (Pulse Width Modulation). @Nick will be a great resource, he built a controller using Arduino, and is working on a quadcopter. It is not actually too hard.

Yes and no. You can change the channel on the 32ch tx, but it has to be supported by the Rx. In each band you have ~8 channels and you have 5 bands. But you cannot have 32 different sets and it work, probably 5 if you all used different bands and channels that were further apart.

I was under the impression that OpenPilot CC3D flight controller did not support GPS. Take a look at this list.

How did it turn out?

Thanks for posting this fix, I am sure it is not too uncommon of a problem. :)

Haha, I could do that IF I only charged the battery to 10% haha.

DIY is always an option, it allows you to prioritize what you want to pay more for, the starting price is around $250. Before I put much more into the post, are you still in need of this information, or have you already bought what you want?

Look into some low KV motors. You will first need to choose your props, you want it to lift a little over double the AUW (All Up Weight), this will give it manoeuvrability. You probably want a hexa- or octa- copter.

You will probably need to take a channel from the Tx that controls the quadcopter. Or it is possible to get a VTx/VRx that has Full-Duplex. For example a Wi-Fi signal.

I see, so that you could show the real video and potential customers not think you are trying to deceive them. :) When I wrote that I may have been yet to realize this was a product demo.

Look into PID, this is how about all stabilization algorithms work. Either of you see this: http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=184503.0
