Mini Quadcopter v2

This topic needs a lot more details, but let's start with a picture:



This is the second iteration of mini Quadcopter that I built. The frame is 3D-printed, based on the MHQ2 design at http://www.hovership.com/. The components were sourced from various vendors, in particular the most excellent Mobius ActionCam for first-person view, and a Naze32 flight controller with barometric sensor. 

This time I used beefier motors, wider blades, a better flight controller and cleaned up the placement of the various components to avoid tangled wires. The result is quite impressive - it is *fast*. Maybe too fast?

It still needs some tuning to hover more reliably throughout a battery charge. It is fairly stable midway through, but much harder to control at the start and the end of the cycle.
