Hi,
great work, I built a similar one using the sam technique of using a separate channel from RX to control the servo. however I later integrated this channel into the multiwii code. I believe this can gives me better results -in future- if I increased the front thrust when propellers looks forward, instead of manually increase the throttle to keep the altitude...... I only integrated the channel in multiwii, but hasnot yet updated this thrust logic.

The required power for hovering is only about 110 Watts.... It uses common parts and the total cost is about 100 US$...Regards, Jean-Louis
