For a long time, I had wanted some type of RC helicopter but when I saw a quadcopter I want it more. A quad copter is easier and more stable the helicopter. I was looking a very small Arduino quad until a friend told me his uni was selling them for students. It was more powerful and a lot bigger than with computer integration and GPS. After hours of work trying to work out how it is put together (did not have instruction) it started to fly. It is very stable and easy to fly with a bit of practice. There were many of crashes but it received well.
