I so want one of these!

Steve is almost complete his quadcopter build in his garage. Not a dicky iphone controlled one, but something that Shaun could fly over your car and droop a real bomb on....

Speaking of which, this is probably the first project that I'd like to start after the move into the new garage / workshop. I could use your help Shaun.

I've never actually tried an rc helicopter before. I've only flown rc planes.
Helicopters are pretty cool, but the hardest part, is learning to hover. Not the funnest thing to watch.

But definitely more accurate at dropping.... stuff.... on unsuspecting people / vehicles / pets.

For sure. I dropped a beanbag out of my plane once and I think I missed the target by somewhere around 6 feet. I was one of the closest in that competition... if not the closest.

The cool thing about the quadcopters is that they are self stabilizing, so hovering with these doesn't look like it's too difficult. In the videos I saw, the guys just lifted the quadcopter up and let go of the controls and it just stabilizes itself in place.
