What do you need for flying
Here's a short list of what is needed for flying:
- A Crazyflie quadcopter
- A Crazyradio USB dongle
- A PC side application for controlling the quadcopter
- A controller for input of flight commands (joystick). Currently Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 controllers are supported out of the box, but any controller with at least 4 analog axis can be configured and used. Se the input-device page for more information.
