APM Mini Drone: Fail

I try to build an autonomous mini drone using whatever parts I have lying around (and the result is useless =). It's way too flimsy to thrash hard so one good crash and you're done but, on the plus side it's crazy lightweight and that got me wondering: Could turn it into a full-on autonomous mini drone using mostly parts I already had lying around? Probably not with 2015 technology

Thanks for watching!

=)

Updates:

September 9, 2015 — A bad ESC has caused a motor to [literally] catch fire on the bench plus the weather has made a turned for the worse so no flights until those are resolved but once they are I'll shoot Part 2 and try to fly a short autonomous mission.

September 15, 2015 — Replacement parts arrived and [schedule permitting] I'll get the little guy back in the air within the next week.
