I phone+445 Laser+Quad Rc copter=FUN???

Neighborhood watching with the Swinglet CAM high resolution flying camera
 





I could see having two copters and mounting a ~30mw ir laser on each one controlled by a button on the controller, and then on each copter put 4 ir sensors on it in the front back left and right. The ir laser would be unfocused to about 3ft spot at 20ft and if your copter get shot maybe 5 times by the other copter you engine speed slowly cuts off so you "crash" safely. Maybe add in a little rotation so it looks more like a crash.

Would make for a very fun copter battle.
 
These things are hard enough to fly the way they are with out having something that would cut power of any kind or even add rotation. I just had a small screw come out of one of the pitch control arms and it was one hell of ride. Thank god it landed in tall grass and did minimal damage. Still cost $38 for parts!

I was thinking more along the lines of cheap mini copters.
The little one it that picture would be about ideal size if it could lift a mini module.

I would never risk crashing a full size rc helicopter.
 
I doubt it, I installed a larger battery in it and was trying to see how long it fly, but if you notice in the pic it is missing the rotor blades. My dog (dogzilla) decided it was something to eat and grabe it out of the air, the replacements are on the way. How much would a mini module weigh? (equvilant to a quarter?)
 
This isnt exactly what i was looking for but it would still do the job.
Infrared 780nm 50mW Laser DOT Module

What i was trying to find were the very small ~3mm APC modules i had seen on ebay a while back. In the picture it was beside a pencil and it wasn't twice the diameter of the pencils lead. i dont know itf they will be back up but they were awesome and not very expensive.

While i was searching the bay I found these:
LOT 10 PHOTOP GDL-T GREEN LASER DIODE 3-PIN MODULE NEW - eBay (item 140477342338 end time Dec-11-10 18:47:16 PST)
I new there were green diodes but i thought they were rare, extremely expensive, very low power, unstable, and produced tons of heat.

Those dont have much info but $5 each is cheap.
 
You wouldn't be able to use that, too much weight, since you would also need a heat sink and you would have to add a power supply for it. The current fly time on my micro is 3 to 5 minutes and the battery is very small.

That the first time I have seen a green diode. I am a little suspicious since there is no information.
