This platform uses a Blade 400 helicopter with a 3 servo cyclic control for the swash plate. We have it configured with an accelerometer acting as a controller for the helicopter. All of the processing is done through the Arduino Mini Atmel 168 and the laptop is only being used for debugging print statements. The Arduino Mini and the IMU 5 Degrees of Freedom Accelerometer Gyro Control unit are available at SparkFun.com
