To add to the subject of quadrotors, there has been a very inexpensive item available here in the UK for the last couple of years. It's called the 'jumpjet' due to it being supplied with a stealth bomber body and this was later augmented with a 'Harrier Jump Jet' body as an accessory. The basic model is about £60 in the UK which roughly equates to about 100 USD. The model is for indoor use as it comes out of the box and can be converted to radio control by and add-on circuit. The basic quadrotor model can be readily flown without the aircraft bodies being fitted.This item was designed in the UK by 'Snellflight' who are a small model design business noted for innovative helicopter designs. The parts are made in China.Here is the website; http://www.snelflight.co.uk/index.htmThere are several videos on the site including an outside flight carrying a video camera and transmitter.
