Introduction
The quadcopter rig consists of a quadcopter mounted on a stanchion. The control objective is to regulate the speed of the motors to maintain a hover position that is horizontal to the rig's base plate.

Build
The quadcopter is based on a commercially available F450 frame and Arduino Uno controller. A LiPo battery provides flight autonomy of about 15 min and the high current capacity required by the motors. The motors are fitted with 1045 propellers capable of providing the required thrust force to overcome gravity The measured angles are derived from a gyroscope and accelerometer mounted on the quadcopter base.
