Pascal Brisset has detailed instructions including parts lists, software and hardware setup. Here is what Pascal says about his helicopter: “RC model helicopter prices have reached a point where all sorts of challenging (i.e. crash-prone) robotics projects become affordable. This document explains how to build a 300 g, 3D-capable helicopter with embedded Linux and Bluetooth datalink for less than 500 EUR.
As a proof of concept, we provide software which allows the helicopter to be remotely controlled over Bluetooth with a PC joystick. Future work will focus on the integration of sensors (IMU, altitude, magnetic compas, GPS, camera) and flight control software (either third-party or dedicated).”

Yah, the fact that they used an xbox controller for this made it like a million times kewler.

I’ve seen Bluetooth controlled mini R/C cars using
your mobile phone but I hope someone build a mini
Helicopter that’s controlled by a mobile phone,
would be cool for the office.
Checkout my new UK site of RC Helicopters, Cars and
Boats: www.rcgifts.co.uk I have a great deal on a
R/C Crash car, only £19.99, I haven’t even seen
anything like this in the shops, here’s the link:

great post and cool uses for rcs. the rcs i sell are great candidates for these kinds of projects because you arent paying for a brand name but get comparable quality.
