Copter Hacks |
 | DIY Tiny RC Quadrocopter
Quadrocopters are loads of fun and really neat RC projects. Instead of a body for the copter, this project uses the PCB itself as the airframe. With a weight of just 20 grams and just 8 cms long, it's as barebones as you can get. The PCB airframe... |
 | Weaponized Tricopter Shoots down Hydrogen Balloons
We've seen loads of RC copter projects, but with a extra features, you can enable yours for aerial combat too. Two Swedish DIYers build a tricopter to target hydrogen balloons (which are flammable, by the way). It's controlled via first-person... |
 | DIY Halloween Dual-Copter Ghost Project
We have floated lots of DIY copter projects. Take that and mix it up with some out-of –the box creativity to put together this remote controlled Evil Flying Ghost. Just imagine this thing chasing frightened kids down the street on Halloween!... |
 | Aerial Surveillance Drone Launched from a Mailbox
The ScanCam 200 is the eagle eye you would want for surveillance security of your property. Out of all of our helicopter projects, this one has the most stylish launching mechanism. The autonomous perimeter security system is actually a small UAV... |
 | The DIY Triple-Rotor Helicopter
This is definitely one of the best helicopter hobby projects you are going to come across. This tri-copter is not only extremely versatile, but the project how-to is laid out in great detail as well. It's an open source tri-copter that is now in... |
 | DIY Arduino Helicopter with Obstacle Avoidance
Here's another neat Arduino helicopter project featuring four infrared sensors and one ultrasonic sensor for obstacle avoidance. We've seen an Arduino powered helicopter with four rotors and even one with six rotors too. This quadcopter,... |
 | Superb DIY RC Helicopter with Six Rotors
We've seen an Arduino powered 4-rotor copter, but if that's not enough you can upgrade to six individual rotors with this hexacopter. As you can see in the video above, this thing can reach some incredible speeds with precision control. ... |
 | Arduino Powered Helicopter with Four Rotors
We've seen loads of superb Arduino projects, but few which involve complex aeronautics. Here we have the "quadrocopter" - an arduino powered, remote control helicopter with four rotor blades. It's a superb build overall with the finished... |
