Comment by Muhammad Al-Rawi on July 2, 2012 at 1:34pm That is very cool. Can't wait to see it up in the air.

fantastic! I'd love to see a build log for this.
Have you thought about the control algorithms at all? I assume a servo on the tail for pitch. How is roll controlled? Do you just run the wings at different speeds?
Comment by Alex Arevalo on July 2, 2012 at 6:32pm Nice work. Looks very promising.
Comment by Simone Chiaretta on July 3, 2012 at 12:32am That's pretty similar to the SmartBird that Festo built last year and showcased at TED.
