dropping army men from my quadcopter

JUSS10

I like Biplanes
So I went down south to visit some family this past weekend. My little nephew was obsessed with my RC gear especially my bigger quad. I thought I would have some fun with him so I went ahead and glued a servo to the bottom of my battery tray/camera mount and tied a rubber band at the other end so I could stretch it over a servo horn and drop things with an extra channel on the quad. I grabbed some of his army men and we made some parachutes with bags and string and strapped them to the bottom. It worked great! Here are a few videos.

This was the last flight, as you can hear my battery alarm started to go off so I didn't go too high.

Here is video from my quad. Still needs some more tweaking. I think I have some bad ESCs that don't always start up right or something. Came down kind of hard too haha
