thanks dennyr just trying to get a large one of these now

I'm still waiting to build a quad so I can enter this comp!

I try :)

Getting this done is whats stopped me from getting my photo done for the contest, now bottle copter is finished i can get back to the serious stuff :) its been about 2-3 weeks worth of weekend building and testing Finished machine has the centre of gravity 90 mm above the props diferential...

Hi Richard, welcome aboard, what part of NZ are you in ?

Damn, sounds like you fried the voltage reg system, ask for help on the op forum, it may be repairable

When did you buy your board? No defectives ones were shipped, they were all reworked Best place to get technical answers is on the op forums I'm not sure on the ppm input, have never used it

fly with the multi in front of you, and the mirror in front of the multi - you should get both in the shot :)

i still reckon you need to look at the mag, without that working 100% GPS wont work, as GPS can not tell the flight controller physically what direction your multi is pointing. if the mag is out it will try to reach the desired location, but be flying 5-10 degrees off, over shoot, try to...

does it use a magnetometer ? if thats out by 5 deg it will cause circling (did on my ardupilot) as the multi trying to get back to the set location, will keep missing it

@dennyR - early days, it has potential :) @tomstoy2 - unfortunaetly, my beer of choice is corona from Mexico, so no help there !

Version 2 take the original idea, and mount on an epp wing from an edge540, idea was to progress towards being able to swap from hover to aerodynamic flight video done, un edited - you get all the failed launches (3) as well final landing smashed the left prop and right motor mount and tore...

For me that's what it should be about, photography from your multi - this time with the twist of needing the pilot and multi in the shot :)

theres 3-4 guys down there , join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/multirotor/ and send a message, paul dodge is local to you and on that list, will see who else i can find bucket load of guys in tauranga/rotorua/hamilton and auckland , efliernz and stacky are two good guys on here you can contact...

Hi Mick - welcome aboard. There's a supprising number of multis in NZ, what part of the country are you in?

Congrates One isuue with the copter control is its main benifit - its very configurable, which can lead you down the wrong path and get very frustrated Simple things like mis-matched firmware and incorrect reciever signals can tie you in knots for days, but once its sorted it becomes easy I'm...

29th is cool, I better get my "build on" unless you count the bicopter, I don't currently have a machine :D

Final vid of this one, just to show it flying outside dont worry, you only have to wait for 46 seconds to see a crash

this one wont make the transition, its more of a "lets give it a go - kiwi style" (using whatever junk is lying around) For transition, it needs wing area, and the CG at 20-30% of teh average chord, as well as the conditions for hovering met as well (vane position reltive to CG and in the...

for me too windy is when it stops being fun, and becomes a chore with lots of thrust and lots of control authority you can fly in some supprisingly bad conditions. 50kph/35mph is about my limit before its just pain to be flying, but i do prefer still to 10 kph for trying out manuvers and 10...
