Here's My Quad-copter...completely homemade...and after some serious PID tuning I was able to achieve such results with a 6dof IMU and an 8-bit AVR MCU....it almost flies hands-off sticks...the size of the contraption makes it a very docile and stable along any axis.... the yaw is a bit sluggish though..but I can live with that..after all a quad does not have the yaw responsiveness of a tri....
My setup is as follows,
DT750 motors...
HK F-30 amp ESC's with Wii-ESC firmware flashed...
Turnigy 9x tx/rx..
10x4.7 props...
5000mAh 30c 4s Lipo (Hardcase)...
motor to motor distance diagonally is 1.2 metres..
AUW is 1.7KGs....
so enjoy and I hope I can inspire folks into spending more time and patiently tuning the PID's so that the Flight controller gives optimum stability for your respective platforms....
