Have a look at this tiny QuadCopter, 15g and just a board. Unfortunately it can't fly at the moment due to filtering problems...http://mikrokopter.de/forum/topic-13092.html

cool~!

If minimizing weight is the primary goal, 3 rotor would be even better.

Surely it requires either a servo or some heading hold kit? Also on average dosent run one of thhe motors far hotter?

Alex, with three rotors you'd need to add a 1 DOF rotary joint with a servo... not sure if that would be lighter than just using 4 rotors on a flat board.

What I see the most amazing is how simple its production is. Just manufacture the PCB board and mount 4 motors. Thousands of these can be produced by a small company within a day.

I know, and a one piece system is so light and easy, no wiring problems.
Comment by Giles Barton-Owen on January 4, 2010 at 11:11am
Problem is it's so light that the control system will have to be knife edge otherwise it will flip...

Who started selling counter rotating 2" propellers? Those brushed motors wear out fast.

Wow, that thing is beautiful

That circuit board looks amazing! I like the way that there are minimal individual parts and assembly consists of inserting and soldering the motors. These could be made quite affordable. Another thing that I like is that the parts are such high quality, none of that cheap stuff. I can't wait to see a video.
