Today I maiden my wooden hobbyking Quadcopter and it went fine!

I have flown rc helicopters quite a bit, but that was a couple of years ago. Then i heard an interview with Chris Anderson on Leo Laportes podcast 'Triangulation' and I was intrigued about the drone part of the hobby.

Me and a friend ordererd two ArduPilots and got into it again.

Part list, I went for the 'el cheapo' line:
