thanks Denny, I guess I need to change my avatar so the photo can go incognito until after the comp

Thanks Bart, great to see all the entries! Well done all, and good luck with the voting

Sure 75% available voltage times 75% available current = 0.75*0.75 = 0.56 , its not 100 percent accurate, as every motor responds differently, but its between 50 and 60% of your total thrust happens at 75% Throttle,

i built a quad for a customer, the project got a bit out of hand, with fpv and two cameras, all up weight ended up being 2.6kg (5 point something lbs) on 4S 5600 mah lipo, 10 by 4.5 props it was absolutly rock solid in the air, required 75% throttle to hover (75% throttle = 50% total power) but...

That's pretty much how I mounted my gopro for the competition, 'cept I used rubber bands as my hitech camera mount

It took more than three balls ....and the whole event was staged with the AllBlacks co-operation

Can't wait to see all the entries, could be cool to merge them all together into a YouTube clip ?

That is one very cool shot

thanks ross :) yea, i had a softspot for the edge 540 wing myself, should have cut out the quiet bits and throwen in some benny hill music ! only just getting started...... heres the start of the next project

Well, you can do this with any controller, but the ability to access custom mixes right from the PC interface makes it easy with the open pilot. not sure if you guys have seen these experiments, working towards a nice VTOL setup, experimented with control vanes, flying wings and bicopters with...

did you ever get this sorted ? only just saw this thread, i have two boards, one works perfect, the other does exactly what you describe. i never followed my one up as i assumed i had a damaged board

You could always make it a flying bottle

Cool photos, I actually like #2, well done getting such a clear shadow so close, you must have been flying while staring at the sun! Hat off to you. I got my photo on Wednesday, luckily, as damaged my 1 week old quad on Sunday!, fast forward to about 3:30 I did a fast run away from me, got too...

I split the led systems into two, then joined in series, so each strip gets 7.4 volts, which was bright enough

Thanks Juz, it looks rough as, but seems to work fine...now to get some FPV gear for it

phew - got a frame built tonite, she aint pretty hopefully get some snaps on the weekend, weather forcast is ok

Thanks for the offer Pete, might have to take you up on it

haha - now that would be a feat. Started thinking about developing it more, haven't played around with cg location, and total tuning time so far was a 10 sec hop in the kitchen before the video
