In commercial quadcopters it is common to find linear control algorithms. Properly tuned, they perform successfully in hover flight or following smooth trajectories. The intent of this work is to assess the aptitude of a generic linear control for de execution of aggressive maneuvers, or to handle the transient response induced by adverse meteorological conditions. A dynamic model for the dynamics of the angular velocity and the cinematics of the attitude is proposed, and an analysis is performed over the influence on the close loop stability of the inertial and aerodynamical effects that are disregarded in the linearization of the model for a hover flight condition.
