No - Those are DC Gearmotors. A stepper would be a really bad choice for something like that. ...Tiger
Mike - Don't rule out the OpenPilot board just because it mentions flybarless use. For your purpose, it would actually be advantageous to put it...
PP - Did you really mean X-Band (10GHz)? Nobody is on X-Band! :) GPS - Are you a ham? Makes me wonder how many guys on here are hams. Got my...

I did bring mine to the indoor fly last night and forgot it in the truck. Dah!!! I had velcro on it and was all ready to stick it to the bottom...
Yep - I still have it. In fact, I had it at the robot club meeting a couple months ago. It's constructed mostly from parts I make for Parallax...
