AR drone at the ASRCM indoor January 24th
Jan 25^th, 2012 at 2:30pm

Pierre Plante brought his AR drone to the indoor last night. A neat quadcopter controlled by Pierre's Iphone. Powered up, the phone and drone create a wifi connection and the machine is controlled by an onscreen joystick. The left onscreen "stick" when activated by holding a finger over it allows the drone to be controlled by just tilting the phone.

There is a takeoff button which when pressed automatically spools up the drone and lifts it into a steady hover at about three feet. A landing button replaces the takeoff button once it's flying and just touching this button lands it perfectly. A panic button at the top of the screen cuts off power.

extremely stable and interesting flying machine. See my video on youtube.

1. extremely stable flyer
2. old forties machine meets modern marvel
3. Pierre concentrates on flying it
