Look into schematics with 4093 chips- they drone really well

Never used a 4093, must try one. I usually work with 40106s myself, anyone know if there's much difference bar the number of Schmitt triggers in there.

Beavis has a nice description of how to build using the 40106s

Also here's a cool idea with using a dual pot to set frequencies and then another pot to set the seperation/detune between them to create your drone:

This isn't my schematic, a friend sent it to me and I can't find the webpage he got it from.

If I buy a drone lab will someone put it together for me? It is way beyond what I can do.
