Multicopter Table
From Multicopter Wiki
This is an attempt at comparing all currently known/available projects trying to build DIY, open-source or commercial quadrocopters (sometimes also referred to as UAVs, quadrotors, or multicopters).
Please keep the lists sorted alphabetically, first by vendor name (if any), then by project/UAV name.
The table should reflect the current state of every project, not any future plans or ideas. If something is released to the broad public and available then please write "Y" or "Opt" (optional) otherwise "N". The same applies to licenses. If something is available under a license, state the license and make a link to the code, otherwise write "N".

1 The original Silverlit X-UFO is no longer being produced. As of 04/2009 amazon.com and amazon.de does not carry it anymore. Only chance is Ebay or similar.
2 Estimated release date: 2009. Please note that we no longer actively update the data on this page! You can find a comparision table with verified data on our homepage.
3 It seems to have reached end of life. It's no longer listed on the vendor website, and seems to have been replaced by DraganFlyer X6.
