Time to see if the quadcopter really flies. You can see the successful test flight in the basement above, but the lighting is not great and Youtube has further degraded the quality to potato-camera level. The quad flies well but is a bit sensitive to throttle and needed some work on securing the battery. The not so smooth flying technique is the pilot's fault as I was trying to keep it away from the ceiling. The hovering is pretty good and the next step will be some test flights outside when there is no wind.

Building and Free-Flying Quadcopter Part 13
