Indoor R-C Helicopters Go DIY, Use Spare Electronics Parts

Forget the Picoo Z’s, no matter how much fun they are they can’t be as cool as making and flying your own indoor remote-control ‘copter. And over at this site there’s a set of instructions that’ll help you DIY, assuming you have some spare CD drive motors and servos lying around, and are happy with soldering and detailed rotor-carving. The instructions even say how to add a wireless cam beneath the fuselage… useful for, um, imaging the precise moment you crash it into your cat? I suspect more nefarious purposes. Still, it’s a full cyclic-control aircraft, so it should be extremely flyable. [Heliproject via Hacknmod]
