ArDrone 1.0 retrofit for RC

Finally got the quad-copter bug again. I started off looking for a quad-copter frame but love the clean ArDrone look. Since I had an old ArDrone 1.0 sitting around, I decided to OpenSCAD up some parts for a RC conversion. My goal was to keep from modifying the original ArDrone frame and foam parts as much as possible.

I'm anticipating use of:

  • AfroFlight Naze32 Full flight controller
  • 4qty 2409-12 180W motors
  • 4qty 25A ESC
  • 3S 11.1v Lipo pack
  • 8x6 or 9x4.7 prop (haven't decided)

I'm just working on this project on spare time, so design & build will take some time.

Will add more parts when I get them done.
