I now have my motors, battery, 6ch radio 2.4GHz, and all the sensors (gyro, accel, compass, pressure and even the gps). I still havent quite completed the sensor pcb although I was hoping to get it out with the current batch of pcbs. I do not have the props yet (the plastic variety) because I want clockwise and counterclockwise props. That and the frame is the only thing aside from time and the sensor pcb that is missing
I found a thread http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1143569 where they used 3x hobbyking aero gyros in the radio receiver servo loop.
