First gluonpilot quadrocopter

From Gluonpilot

One of the things I claimed possible with the gluonpilot is flying both my funjet AND a quadrocopter with it.

Well it is possible! Even using some very cheap components.

Despite the use of SI-units (and thus floating points) in every line of code, an update rate of 333Hz is no problem. Except for a few lines in control.c, and the use of simple_quaternion.c instead of ahrs_kalman_2x3.c, the code is exactly the same as the one I use for flying my funjet.

Here you can see the first flight:
