Also check out the wiki for how this guy built this drone. I have to say, I am impressed with the mobility and payload of this thing. This is the kind of UAV stuff I like, because it is so radically fast and intuitive. The GPS feature alone could have tons of uses.

Thanks for this. I've have an interest in homemade UAV's, and think this would be a really cool first project for me.

It's interesting on how cheap you can build a UAV with GPS, a camera, and other useful tools. I'm curious if there are soldiers who have deployed their own homemade UAV's in Iraq or Afghanistan.

This thing is really fast, and has tons of potential. Thanks!
