During the mad scramble to build and test "Aqua" before the Summer Nahanni trip and Paddlefest 2011, we assembled RD10 and tested it with a variety of flight controllers including:

• Aeroquad 1.9
• Aeroquad 2.0
• AeroQuad Mini
• Mk Clone
• ArduPilot Mega Aqua did not fly well with any of these FCs installed and we decided to forego Paddlefest as it was raining. We then took ARDi into the Nahanni instead. With the fall of ARDI on Aug 7, it is possible that the Mikrokopter electronics that survived the ARDi crash will make their way into Aqua.
