I started with 50%, changed to 25% and now I'm running only 10%. It doesn't feel like I'm wrestling the controls in AL any more :) Pete

I've got 40% on pitch and roll. 60% on yaw as it gives me a really slow yaw when required. i too have a healthy throttle curve :) I've flown my octo in 20+ mph and the it still rocks... you need to work at it but it will fly well. Pete

Red at the rear. I have red LEDs under the rear arms (9 leds) as well as a smaller 3-led cluster on the rear-facing surface of the arms - visible from directly behind. Green on the front... Pete

Howdy. With a name like that... are you in FDL? Pete

Sony RX100 A test video at 1/250 200iso leaving aperture in auto. AVCHD Medium setting. I turned stabilization off. Very dark and overcast and the diy mount needs work. The camera needed to be pointing down more to avoid the bright sky affecting it. I haven't put any time into sorting...

Could be. I'm going backwards! The video I've shot is very clear - absolutely spot to. Pity about the the mount not being stable enough... I need to spend a day sorting out the gimbal settings.

I've just shot a test video at 1/250 200iso leaving aperture in auto. I turned stabilization off. Very dark and overcast and the diy mount needs work but I'm editing... and nothing happens quickly in 1080! Stacky - nice and smooth. My mount really needs tweaking... The RX100 in New Zealand...

Working photos... I don't have a HDMI-Comp converter so I used the "spycam" system. I will need to change spycam lenses to give a less wide representation (or get a converter) as I was off-centre on a few photos. I shot solo (without my camera operator) and wore "Eyetop" video glasses giving...

HFP = HoverFly Pro controller board.

No. I was busy at work!

I lost a motor while flying forward (twice) with one of my front motor's ESC failing. I got some porpoising and I realised what had happened so I descended for a good landing. All quite controllable - but it was pretty light. If your weigh is up, I suspect it will remain controllable but...

My creative use of zipties and plywood on my diy mount... but more importantly how I trigger my RX100 :) Pete

I haven't flown the MK or DJI. Just two HFP boards (without gps) and the cheaper basic boards. I have flown my 3.2Kg octo and hex in 25+ mph. You can here the churning noise through the props! It wasn't smooth air as I was on the leeward side of the trees. The machine just sat there and was...

I flew several flights with my octo on 4.3.802 yesterday with Stacky's new Sony RX100 on board. This new firmware rocks! I'm using 25% at the moment but I'll be changing to 10% before I fly next. It used to feel like you were fighting the model in AL. Not any more :) Pete

Have you tried the HDMI out with ant converter yet? I have a separate Sony 1/3 CCD connected to my downlink. With the HDMI socket underneath and near the 1/4 thread, It will be difficult (but not impossible). I have only sorted the shutter so far (Stacky had to go and wanted to take his...

Stacky visited today (from 70 miles away) for a workshop session - bringing his RX100. We did some video trial with the RX100 on my octo and quad and his hexa. I do like the 28mm fpv - it looks more natural than the 24mm of my LX3. I did a servo-shutter setup in 15 minutes and flew some...

My "arming" statement was only once you have gone through the gimbal setup procedure... Turn on your tx Plug in the battery to your multi. After it goes through the initialization test beeps twice, the light should be flashing green. Arm your copter so it beeps three times - only then will...

Unless you have the Setup Utility attached, the servos will not move until you arm the HFP board. Pete

Have you enabled the gimbal in the "Parameters" menu on the Hoverfly Setup Utility? Have you followed this guide? It takes you through the setup step by step. Don't skip a step! https://hoverflytech.zendesk.com/entries/20955538-camera-mount-compensation-setup-for-hoverflypro Pete

I'm flying a diy 3.2Kg octo and I flashed 4.3.802 last weekend (from V3). My machine hovers at 50% and is quite light for its size (850mm motor-motor). I test-flew it in 10-15mph wind including "leeward of the tree" turbulence - I could hear the "wooshing / churning" noise from the turbulence...
