Hi Ross thanks. Yep thats David Hogg, he lives a couple of miles away from me. He has made a stunning tiny tri that fits into the smallest of cases. Its what he is using for his shoots now. I can't remember the Canon point and shoot he uses. Here is his machine. He flys UAS for a day job now...

Be careful with damaged props they can let go at anytime, well done on your maiden.

Ordered some yellow props to see if they would help with orientation and boy do they! Much easier

That is a great explanation Mat, I might lift it as someone was asking just such things on the OP forum. Well over at OP we are building a library of all the initial testers PIDs and then hopefully we will be able have some handy pointers for tuning base figures. You can already tune in flight...

Well, whilst undertaking AP we have discovered that having someone else there does not just half the workload it seems to quarter it maybe more. Looks like you need an MK board with follow me and POI http://youtu.be/8HJUjizCPrQ Careful if you start chasing trains etc without all the...

But why don't you yaw the platform rather? Plug and play boards are at least two main chips away. By 2013 I reckon things will be easy ;-)

I'm glad you said that about the retracts Mat, maybe its to get any legs out of the shot. I did'nt understand the requirement either.

Don't worry Bartman, I predict growth. Oh btw get better smiles.

That there Codden Hill used to be our IP for running in to the airfield to the west ;-) Lovely part of the world.

Summer has arrived very early this year, getting very dry actually over here. But I think thats just about to change a little.

Went out flying with my friend David last night, he's a legend really very good pilot and talented engineer. Here's his shots You can just see the hexa in that.

Yes standard ESCs or I2C both are on the board the CopterControl is only a stabilizing board and has 6 configurable PWM outputs and of course with I2C you can add what you like. The full OP board has eight outputs along with of course the I2C. We are hoping people will also adopt CC for...

There are about 30 active developers, the CopterControl is the simple board the main work is going into the full INS/GPS OpenPilot board which will come out later this year. Spring is here and everyones platforms are emerging.

Heres the BOM for James machine http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/Doc/BumbleBee Ed has a tiny hex here http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/CCDoc/Ed%27s+MicroHex it can lift a GoPro which is cool.

Something tells me I have seen something military thats smaller, just can't remember where. There is also a single bladed thing about thats pretty tiny but thats not a multicopter! Not quite as small

Well there is a very nice atmosphere here, just need to keep it lighthearted and it will grow and grow I predict.

@ Buzzed yeah I won't be rushing to fly in these winds generally. I certainly need to get handier with the sticks as well. @ Bart are you after how much it will lift?? I can try lift something I guess. Its a very heavy frame so I don't think much more. What I would like to find now is the most...

Just had a flight in some wind, I keep saying how much wind. Quite embarrassing.

Yeah no flip of death, but a handful to fly, beyond my pay scale at the minute but with practice I think I will get there.

It flew, very happy with the outcome. Now its time to sort out that prop adapter and sort the PIDs, will just turn everything down slightly. Then its onto making some sort of landing gear/camera mount. Not the lightest airframe in the world but very strong I think.
