[chbot] quite unreasonable !

[Synco Reynders]

Hey Chris,
  Last week I also developed this need for a quadracoper so I slapped
4 motors, 4 motor-controllers, big LiPo battery and 2 forward / 2
reverse propellers (else you have torque issues) together. Got all the
mixing done in my new ER-9X transmitter which works nicely.... BUT
I've concluded it's impossible to fly manually. You are welcome to
come round and try :-)
Believe you need to have motor controllers which are 'speed'
controlled, (as opposed to PWM / torque control). Also wondering if
you need gyros or whether you can fully stabilise it with a 3-axis
accelerometer only?
I've already reprogrammed a off-the-shelf brushless dc
motor-controller (need to iron out some glitches), got a auto-pilot
board with gyros and accelerometers etc... so only need some time to
write software. Let me know if you are keen to help.
