Ability of machines to fly was based on the complex mechanical units until the end of last century. Development of high-quality and affordable sensors brings the innovation to this sector. The complex mechanical parts can be replaced by electronics. The construction of multi propeller platform includes DC motors, power electronics, microcomputer, sensors and simple frame. It doesn't require complex mechanical parts. Electronics of the multikopter contains commonly available components. Management and control is compared with conventional helicopter eased considerably. Navigation, in cooperation with the built-in microprocessor can apply some automatic features like auto start, landing and return from any position to start, etc.
