The gimbal works OK. It is a bit heavier that I was hoping for, in that my flight time has dropped down to under 5 minutes with a 5200mah 3 cell battery. I am still experimenting with other designs, since I don't think I want to use this one the way it is performing right now. Here is a short...

Thanks Vinhex. I do have to shift the battery over to one side with the gimbal on, so I probably forgot to shift it back after I took the gimbal off. I will give it another go in the morning.

I finally got my gimbal adjusted and set up and attached to my FW550. For my first test flight with the gimbal attached, I switched out the 8" blades with the 10" blades. The flight went well, except I could see that the gimbal was getting wobbly as a result of a screw coming out (probably...
