Current State of the Quadrocopter project

This time I’d like to tell you about my plans of building a quadrocopter.

I already have most of the components, so I guess I will start to assemble them soon. For the record, this is what I already have:

• Battery: ZIPPY Flightmax 2200mAh 3S1P 25C
• Motors: Turnigy 2209 28turn 1050kv 15A Outrunner
• Motor Controllers: Hobbyking SS Series 25-30A ESC
• R/C Receiver: OrangeRx Satellite Receiver
• Autopilot / Control board: Lisa/M from the Paparazzi Project

Propellers, a frame and (most critical) crimped PicoBlade wires for the Lisa/M are still missing – the wires are already ordered and should arrive next week. I’m also awaiting a frame from HobbyKing, but that was somehow lost on the way to Germany and they have started investigation about it. But, even if they re-sent it tomorrow, it would still take about a month until they arrive, so I will probably build my own frame for the start ;-) .

Anyway, I still hope to get the whole thing airborne before the Chaos Communication Camp in August!
