Recently i got an opportunity to Build a parallex quad with hoverfly open controller..
And i must say this one is really awesome... A great controller and is super stable....
I am really new to multirotors still it was a great experience... Now i have attached an fpv system with a sony ccd cam...
And a 7" tft screen...
Attaching a pic now.. will upload the video later...

Arun's Yet another quad..... 8-)

I have heard a lot about Parallax's(not Parallex) quad.
Need more comparison with other controller boards and the frames that you have built Arun..

Santhosh they are really bad dont go for parallex, It is using 2212 motor and cheap yellow esc...
You know the motor mounts broken in 2 flight and i replaced them with another cutted out from 2mm frp sheet and painted black, And the frame parts are cheaper plastic and the arms are alumionium.. It took almost 4-5 hours to build that no instructions with that and the esc was really tough to program...

But the hoverfly board is awesome i must say that...
Stable like hell...

Looks good :) The frame is very sterdy and most certainly can take a hit :)

@abhishek: YEs it is the landing geat is flexible but.. the motor mounts are really bad.. I changed them already with 2mm frp sheet black painted...
I will give only 50% marks to the frame not that good...

Hey the power is pretty good these are normal 2212 motors with 1045 props and quad weighs 1 kg approx with 3200 mah lipo..
Takes off in 30% throttle..
Will recommend hover fly open or sport...

You can get hover fly sport for 140$
Pro will cost around 320$
I am using hover fly pro open  around $340+ ship
And in robokits the whole quad with hover fly open cost around 750$( the frame is worst)
