   * We gave it an expansion header and it can work solely from this header, see [[projects:crazyradio:schematics|schematics]]. The header accepts power up to 16V and could read a PPM signal so it is possible to make it work as a R/C transmitter module, but we have no code for it now and it would be a bit hackish.    * We gave it an expansion header and it can work solely from this header, see [[projects:crazyradio:schematics|schematics]].

 Yes, it could. All the key components are there to control a quadcopter of any size. There is yet no firmware support for this though. However, imagine having it dockable into a big frame which could carry it a long way and then just release it so it can enter a small area where the big frame can't get to, Sci-Fi... Yes, it could.
