Typically an RC helicopter is not really what you want when you are flying to make photos. A quadcopter has no such thing as full manual operation basically because you would be to slow to compensate for rotation on all axis, so you would need some software and sensors for you to do this. So only for getting the thing in the air there is software that tries to keep it leveled and allows your input to artificially bring it out of balance to control it. If this software is not perfect so you might want to toy with it right? So the Mikrokopter also has a navigation board. You can hookup extra censors like a compass and a GPS. Now for some reason this software is not fully disclosed. Cutting a long story short, we wrote two independent open source flashers (Linux / .NET) for the Mikrokopter. We have hacked in assembly to try to get the baudrate artificially lower to connect wireless RS232 (we failed miserably). And that kind of reverse engineering frustrations just make you thing... why didn't we design it from scratch...
