Intro

The protocopter is my (fishy's) first attempt at a flying model ever. I saw the Mikrokopter and its relatives for the first time ever at the Chaos Communication Camp 2007, and after seeing Holger et.al. flying round the hackcenter, I could not shake the fascination, I just had to build one!

I thought about the kopters a lot, read the forum here, and kept "windowshopping" for a long time, and finally decided I had to afford building it, and started ordering parts just before christmas 2007. Over the christmas, I got the protokopter built, and I an currently learning to fly!
