It lets you use not just one or three Arduino boards but seven — Micro, Pro Mini 3.3V, Pro Mini 5V, Leonardo, Uno R3, Nano R3 ...
Even if you have a small hand! The drone is based around an Arduino Pro Mini, and uses an MPU6050 IMU for motion sensing and flight control. Communication with the drone is via an NRF24L01.
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the Arduino ... this a 3.3 V part. You can find a lot more information on this wiki. The board is a clone–more or less–of a Maple Mini.
