Hey everyone! A few things: 1. Thank you for 100k!!! This project was for all of you--now I can get back to the unfolding quadcopter project :) 2. The "toilet-bowling" in the air was the result of me actively trying to pitch it over with my implemented control method. But even the 10mph wind meant that every time I did manage to pitch it into the wind to stop the drifting, it would roll right back over ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3. I actually flew this thing 3 times at the event! I'll be posting the full 3rd flight over on my Patreon page in the next few days along with a discussion on the above wind issues, which arise from the extremely low disk loading of these types of spinning drone designs. It's basically why slow planes have big propellers, and fast planes have turbojets: exit thrust speed & blade "bite" - Nick

Ive got a helpful tip. Foam board is used constantly in composites for homebuilt (manned carrying) aircraft. We use it a lot to shape cowlings, fairings, etc. One of the most difficult tasks is a good bond between foam, that is also sandable and shapable at a similar consistency. The trick? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="121">2:1</a> Gorilla glue to lightweight spackle. It foams like pour foam, has a B stage at about 30 min that is easy to tear/cut off, and when its fully cured it sands really easily. Pot life is quick, only about 5-10 min. It yields about <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="241">4:1</a> volume, maybe even higher. Highly recommend for future projects. Edit: I should specify we use a lot of pink insulation foam - not Rc foam board, but it will work similarly. The key take away is that it's sandable.

Ever since I saw the spinning drone, I've wanted to see you add some kind of solution, for a thing that stays smoothly in the same direction, like e.g. a camera that stays directed in the forwards direction, despite the drone spinning. Now you've made one. The spinning drone got me checking this channel, and whilst I've found some of the other stuff interesting, I'm still _mainly_ interested in seeing further development of the spinning drone.

What do you think of the idea of instead of having an indicator in top, you set up the control inputs to be a global frame of reference rather than local? So basically connect the reference to a compass and then the controller moves it North-South, East-West, or some angles most suitable for the combat area. Is that just a less natural way of control if you're used to normal RC aircraft?

In the future if you have a very long cable run, perhaps you could use UTP networking cable, as the twisted pairs ensure a very high signal to noise ratio. If weights an issue, just strip the insulation and just use a single twisted paid (there's 4 pairs in the cable), colour coded too!
