Parrot AR.Drone: What is the best glue for repairing the expanded polystyrene?

Mon, 12 Jul 2021 14:22:45 -0700

Hi,

I have used the AR drone twice and have already caused significant damage to the expanded polystyrene - the piece the camera fits on has all but snapped off.

I have made the mistake of using polystyrene cement on it which DOES NOT work. This glue is meant for high density polystyrene; the cement melts lower density stuff.

I've had a look around and people seem to suggest all sorts of glues: epoxy, copydex, foam-safe superglue, etc...

Has anyone experimented and have a definitive answer?

Parrot AR.Drone: What is the 3-Axis Accelerometer Specification / Part Number

Fri, 16 Sep 2016 09:55:42 -0700

The AR Drone breakdown is excellent, thank you. I have just one question.

Do you have the specification/part number for the 3-axis accelerometer which I presume is one of the components on the Navigation Board.

Many thanks
