As of now, I'm pretty hooked on trying to build a quad copter by myself. I've got an uncle who can help guide me through everything if needed, but I want to see if I can learn from my own research. My main issue is going to be money, as I'll need to buy supplies such as a frame, motors, and batteries, but hopefully with Christmas and my birthday coming up I can get some stuff for free! I've done some research on how to build a small quad copter, but I still don't know what type of programming I'll have to do to get everything to work. In the meantime, here are some pictures from earlier today that I took with my quad copter to show off the awesome fall colors! (Ignore the dates, I never actually set that stuff up, I just record.) I'm down in the lower right, looking great as ever! /\

After doing a small timeline and flying a mini helicopter around my principal, I had an idea. I'm going to try and build my own quad copter. I have a little background in programming to help, plus I know my uncle has built remote control helicopters and planes, so he can be someone I can ask questions if needed. I'm still going to try and upload some images whenever I can, I just have to build something to hold my phone or buy another Gopro camera (last one went through the wash in a sweatshirt). Expect an image or two around Saturday or so!
Until I have some more time to think, I'm just going to do some flight and post pictures on here. I want to do something cool and new, but I don't know what that would be, so my project might not be anything too innovative.
I decided that my innovation project will revolve around quad copters, partly because I own two of them. I don't know exactly what to do with them, but it's likely going to involve a camera at one point or another. I may take an interest in arial photography, but racing is also an option. For now I'm undecided on what exactly to do, but I'm hoping that as I continue to fly I'll be inspired!
