two quad copter test

[Alex Fraser]

Hey Guys,

After reading email replies on this list about the chip sets on higher 
end 2.4 GHz RC equipment I thought I'd see if my cheapo $16 quad-copter 
also might use IIRC things called "Gold Codes".
Anyhow I cut and pasted this from my Facebook page to save typing it all 
out again.

I was able to try something with my new quad-copter which I've been 
wondering about. They are radio controlled, so can you fly two at the 
same time and not have them interferer with each other? Well yes you 
can! I turned on the first one, then it's transmitter (the controller) 
and went through the handshake arming procedure. That is turn on 
quad-copter, its LEDs start blinking, then turn on controller, throttle 
it all the way back, the controller goes beep beep and the LEDs on the 
quad-copter blink different, then throttle to max and it does a long 
beep. Then you pull the throttle back all the way and the lights on the 
quad go steady on. You are now ready to fly and when you push the 
throttle forward the props will spin and if you do it too quick the 
little beast will slam into the ceiling before you know what's what. 
Anyway I did the same arming on the second quad-copter and it reacted as 
if the first quad wasn't around at all, no interference at all. I tried 
flying them both at once, but ran out of fingers to control them real 
quick, you need both hands to fly each one. This means two people can 
race them, formation fly or even do combat with each other. A whole 
bunch of them would sound like a swarm of bees!
