Awesome, you should take pics and vids as you build and post the project in the forums. We would love to see how it comes out!

My X-UFO just arrived but from what little I’ve done with it, I’m pretty sure it’s got enough lift to handle more electronics (chips, sensors, etc). The bat’s 12v so some voltage regulation needed. It’s nice and stable, thanks to its mechanical gyro. There are some posts attached to the electronics, no indication as to signals. Seems to me the mechanical gyro and radio electronics are excessively heavy, once I finish playing with it I’ll have to see what goes where and maybe replace that gyro with something lighter and remove the radio circuit, but this is gonna be my flying robot.

We are DYING to get the X-UFO in. I’m looking for mini wireless cameras to put on it already

I wish I’d known about those little helicopters earlier. They would have made good christmas presents for the kids.
