My hobby is to fly FPV models, I've been busy with uni so I haven't gotten the chance to make new vids myself.

My friend recently made this. It is a flight around the Arches Desert.. It is really breathtaking.

That really is amazing! I'm trying to build my own quadcopter myself. The idea is to hopefully attach a camera to it and take some video too, albeit not as awesome as that!

Hello. I've built one. I am currently waiting for smaller motors.

You should be wary that to do anything similar for quadcopters you require a magnetometer, accelerometer, and triple axis gyroscopes, a simple gyroscopic quadcopter will be fine at low speeds and altitude, but when you build inertia and hit turbulence, you get into trouble without the aforementioned components.

I am currently building mine just for low alt flying using the KK multicopter board (support for 6-motor and tricopter as well)..

This is a good start, the plans are online and the board can be made for about $10-12.

Please PM me, I am (re)starting MACUAV soon.. btw.
