A quick update on Blimpduino: We've temporarily run out of stock at the DIY Drones store but there are plenty at the Maker Shed, where you can buy them at the same price (it's a very cool store--spend some time there!). We've got some components incoming, and I expect to have them back in stock at the DIY Drones store by the end of the month. We'll also be offering the RC and battery + charger option.
We've been recommending the HobbyKing 2.4 Ghz radio for it, but some people have been reporting that Blimpduino doesn't autorecognize RC mode with that radio, due to a slight slower bootup time. So I've modified the code to wait a bit longer for the RC signal and it seems to work fine now.
I've also updated the building manual and operating instructions to make them clearer and easier to use.
All in all, a nice refresh. If you've been wanting to get into UAVs but aren't ready for planes, Blimpduino is a great entry point. Also perfect for winter when you can't fly outside!

If you can include the building manual the operating instructions and the other pages from DIYdrones to the wiki on google I think it would be much better because everything will be in the same place.
