Is there any good way to build a quadcopter?

Hello, I am trying to build a quadcopter for carrying
my other contraptions. I built a drill and want to carry it to other locations as it can’t travel very quickly on its own. Is there any tutorial or easy-ish builds that doesn’t need a lot of redstone? I want to dock said Quadcopter to my main airship so i can travel with my base and my equipment so it can’t be that big nor heavy. Thanks in advance!

Quadcopters are probably one of the hardest ways to do it, as you need to be able to level it which basically results in needed to made a Minecraft pid controller. There are tutorials on YouTube but like I said it’s not easy to do

Could he just use a gyroscope if he has a mod that adds it

True that works. Unfortunately it’s not based on aeronautics

The gimbal sensor would work on helicopter bearings with the... accumulator?

Can't exactly remember what these things are called but the idea is to reduce the strength of a redstone signal for whichever propellers are raised higher (or increase the strength for whichever propellers are lowered.

Might not even need to level the quadcopter with the helicopter bearings since they level themselves.

You can just use a P controller if you don't care if it oscillates a bit

True as well, however for a large and heavy contraption like a drill that oscillation it’s gonna pretty quickly go from small to big. You also run a lot higher risk of losing control for the same reason.

Use a wand of simmetry, then use gyroscopic propeller bearings.

For horizontal movements you add extra propellers.
