It's pretty cold in the UK at the moment, last night was the coldest of the winter so far. I decided to go for a fly and test out the new gopro II which arrived this morning (big smiles!!) So I went to a local quarry and did a couple of panoramas, a video and a few pics...here's one that makes...

I have bought 2 of these and I can vouch for them. They work great every time. Whatever you do, don't buy a Hobbyking 4 port charger, utter sh*te!

I want to see "crawling mode" ie flick a switch and then set it moving in a certain direction at a certain speed and it carries on...it's so difficult to try and fly it while walking behind without occasionally bumping the sticks! Gunter.

Yeah, I suppose he might use it for other purposes :) Yes, built in RX. High power TX at 600mw. I haven't made a video yet, I'll do one on the weekend, but yes it's a good solid base. For the icey path out the back ;) Thanks Lars!

I have just finished building a RTF FPV F450 Naza for a friend who wants to fly it up Monte Baldo, which is a large mountain next to Lake Garda in Italy...not sure how far he's going to get, but I'm sure he will have fun trying!

I got a quote from these people 1 1/2 years ago of about £500. Not sure if they are still doing it. http://www.jbennett.co.uk/home.aspx Gunter.

That reminds me of the one James Bond film with that bloke and his saw blade yo-yo!

Yeah, that's me in my lumberjack gear. I don't have a chainsaw, but will get one soon :) Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes of course, you should load it with whatever you plan to fly with. With the camera it would push the COG further down. I have since taken that gimbal off and I will be using my smaller crappy highsight mount so I'll check it again just to be sure! Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone...

Thanks hacksaw. It has been revised since, new paint etc! Have a look here. http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755 Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, that looks brilliant! I expect it has taken many hours to build? Gunter.

No probs Rob :)

If you have well balanced props and decent motors, those vibes should almost disappear...as long as there aren't any other loose mountings! Here's a video that I did with a gopro hard mounted to the frame. At the time I used cheap props which I balanced myself (they were miles off) and the...

If the IMU is bang on the middle, the value will be 0 in the assistant for x and y. Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rob, the compass/gps is measured from the COG ie the lower plate I showed on my video, not from the imu. Yes, my IMU is off centre but you can measure that and enter the correct offset into the assistant software. Just make sure you get the + and - directions correct according to the diagram...

Very nice. You could also very easily put some gel pads between the frame and wing to reduce vibes. Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rob, no problem at all, I have tried to explain it to other people before but it is difficult without a video! Something I have been meaning to do for a while. Aye, I have been meaning to get a gas space heater but never found the time or money! Gunter.
