    Wow, very cool! Opens up so many possibilities for scale models (Avatar gunships!?) I'll have to look closer at this ;)

    That is pretty interesting.  Did you see he made his own flight controller?

    Didn't notice his flight controller, but I think it would be pretty easy to get the KK2 board doing this.
