crafted from some ally tube, the guts of bottle-copter and two extra motors - built in true kiwi style, in the kitchen, out of bits and pieces (the RC timer motors are comming up 9 months and many many crashes old)
whats different with this one (you know me by now) is the yaw is done by vectored thrust, not motor speed, and the CC board is upside down, allowing a nice clear area on top to mount other equipment
Yaw Quad -very quick build

I'm in the process of building a quad using basically the same concept, but with ability to tilt the 4 rotors, allowing 6DOF movement.
Here is one of my rotor mounts (not finished) :
The plastic mount is from Shapeways.
The hard part is the flight control software ;-)
