Time to sleep now... Zzz....
Rough timeline for today
8AM Arrive at uni, goto soldering lab
9AM Start soldering
10AM Talk briefly with group member, continue soldering
11AM Still Soldering
12PM Goto shops to get lunch, forget to take a fork, eat a chocolate bar before going back to soldering
1PM Still Soldering
2PM Still Soldering
3PM Inform Group Members that I'm nearly finished before going back to Soldering
4PM Still Soldering
5PM Finish soldering the last few wires
6PM Wait to see if we can get a real programmer, find out we can't
7PM Try the DIY Parallel port programmer, encounter problems
8PM Finish doing presentation slides before leaving for home.
Guess what I'm doing tomorrow!

Updates later today. And with any luck, more video too.
It's now around 2 AM and I only got home a couple of hours ago. But as promised, more video:
Nice. I thought it was a 2-motor design? Would I be correct in guessing the two unshrouded are for lift and turning, and the shrouded is for forward/backward movement?
Looks like you're almost ready for flight tests
What motors are you using for this? Also, is the end goal to have it computer-controlled, or stick with human?
The main propulsion is a 2 motor design, the ducted fan is just to stablise the system, it's not actually used for movement.
The motors are in the video descriptions. I'll post them here later. The end goal was to have the microcontroller get the system to hover the craft, however I was unable to get the microcontroller to work as I had designed. I'm still not quite sure what went wrong with it.
That's looking really cool. It's a shame about the microcontrollers.
