Not cheap, not easy, but cool. There's a video embedded. I'll have to wait until they're RTF on Ebay for $100. It'll happen eventually.

    Search for "Hubsan FPV". Used to be $200, now they are $150...

    I don't get to this forum enough. And I probably can't thank you enough for all of the good leads and links.

    Ken was looking for suggestions regarding Parallax's quad. I think you should approach Ken and offer to put some packages together. If you don't have the time... then pass it along to a trusted buddy:)

    I spent some serious time with the various sensors and decided that without a lot more serious time, I wouldn't trust any of them.
    And I certainly wouldn't go to the work of putting it all together, when I knew that there were problems to be solved on a $600 project.

    Micro size it... make it half or 1/3 the price and I would be more than happy to report my problems and try to solve some of them:)

    Micro quads are awesome! I flew mine in Home Depot and nobody noticed it. I picked Home Depot cause a microcopter is the least dangerous thing.

    A micro quad kit would be very popular.
