   Alvin Phyo built this quadcopter using Ardunio Nano and a GY-87 3-axis Gyro, this way he has total control of how the flight control works. There are lots of off the shelf control systems that would have been easier to get working but would not have the same ability to make it work exactly way Alvin would like.
