Big Brain Heli Flight

Waiting for commands to take off & land
BIG BRAIN CAN REMOTELY FLY THIS HELICOPTER
Simple controls establish vertical take off and landing by interfacing into the stock wireless controller. The airport sets atop the Big Brain (Left Brain) on the EXO. Simple servos offer control in four joystick directions. It is recommended to calibrate Trim before flying by remote to reduce or eliminate any spin rotation. In the video, the yellow helicopter revs up and lifts off, reaches its vertical height, and receives the command to lower back down to the Heli-Pad for a safe landing. This experiment proves that simple control of flying a helicopter is possible using a budget under US$30.
