Decided to put VicaCopter 2.0 on vicacopter.com. This is the last version for single rotor copters. It's mainly a reference, since no-one will probably ever replicate it.This version uses ground based autopilot & has the most detailed schematics of them all. Embedded computers were never cheap & never provided enough computing power. The high cost of sub micro servos, rapid servo wear, difficult payload mounting, & tail rotor effects were counting down the T-Rex clock. A steep drop in brushless motor prices & a servo death & it's quad rotors over T-Rexes.
A noble effort and a good run! It's been fascinating to watch your progress on this, but I do think you're making the right decision to switch to quadrotors.
