Somthing like the Roswell Flyer http://www1.minn.net/~mjohnson/roswel1.html

For thoes who like this kinda stuff. Here is a super small RC. elec heli.
This is one sweet piece of mechanics.

Nick,
Thanks for your comments and insight.
Hi Rich,
I'd like to build an autonomous flying machine - not necessarily an airplane
or a copter. But, something that has four 6V motors mounted on the four
corners of an "X" beam. Using BS-II, I'd like to have it hover around the
house about a feet under the celing (possibly using some IR sensors) and
avoid obstacles. I know I'm hoping for too much here with my limited
knowledge in electronics and very strong programming skills.
I do understand that I may need to use a gyro. But, how will I use one (or a
few) in this application ? I do not know. Experts like you may have better
ideas on this.
I guess my question(s) is, how will I use gyro in this above application,
and how will I be able to interact with the gyro with my BS-II. Any examples
of harware and code related to BS-II and gyro will be a help that I will
never forget in my lifetime [noparse]:)[/noparse]
thx guys
