This is Part 2 of a review on the Elev- 8 Quadcopter robotics platform from Parallax. Whereas Part 1 focused on the physical build, this part walks you through the testing and setup, including integration with an R/C transmitter and receiver, selection and care of Li-Po batteries, and the never-ending task of maintenance.
