Apologize if it has been posted before, but a buddy of mine just sent me this and I thought it's pretty cool:

[Bowley]

Wow awesome and not even using any visual cues for orientation!

 

[DucktileMedia]

damn. its like watching a trex master take hold of a multi.

 

[DennyR]

That Drotec 10DoF IMU is not bad!
16 bit ADC - WOW

Nice use of Tiger Motors.

Crikey...that is some flying...I have never seen stuff like that before.

 

[steph280]

I wonder if it's using some "carefree" function. There is no way it can be flown like that without knowing orientation.

have a look at warthox that clip looks very much like his flying/flying field.

if i'm not mistaken, he usually flies very basic frames with very basic controllers - no gps or carefree.

i guess it's just hours and hours and year and years at the sticks.

Yup, that's warthox no doubt. He's one of the best pilots in the world. I'm not sure why this video is one someone else's channel though. Find him on Vimeo.. hours of entertainment. He put one up last week where he was doing barrel rolls on a small quad INDOORS! Able to nail them in less than 6 feet of height.

Warthox's flying ability is amazing, I don't know how he maintains orientation.

i saw a video of a hex spider doing alot of the same stunts, all i gotta say is i hope i can get that good some day
the MR's seem to turn on a dime.

 

[Orracle]

[warthox]

its gyro only.

why the video is on youtube? because there are some idiots out there which obviously never heard about copyright. it was uploaded to youtube and other videoportals more than once.

thanks its easier to hold the orientation if u dont stop moving. so eg fly always foward when u are further away.


ps. the original on vimeo http://vimeo.com/32408610

Way to go it seems?

 

[mailman35]

warthox,
i can only hope to be nearly that good at some time in the future

Seems a little strange to be using a 10 DoF imu in gyro only mode!
