After building 4 previous bicopter style VTOL aircraft, I thought I'd give it another go with some pretty significant upgrades. This is the first test hover using a new flight controller made from a Teensy 4.0 and an MPU6050 running arduino based code called dRehmFlight (https://github.com/nickrehm/dRehmFlight). It was created by Nick Rehm and so far I'm very impressed with the performance! I'll do some more tuning once it has a wing and tail!
Speaking of wings, I've spent a few weeks designing a 3D printable wing that can be printed with zero retractions, which makes it very easy and fast to print, as well as being lightweight!
