that's a kind of personal question, but I hear it's common for men our age. So I'm guessing this is some new uber awesome piece of gear?

I'll bite, while you were flying over a wooded area you caught images of a pack of Jersey Devils? You had a few drinks last night and woke up with a tattoo on your butt that says "Exit Only"? You woke up and had an epiphany to become an MMA fighter? Don't leave us hanging my good man.

I wonder if this right side drifting has anything to do with the battery cables coming out the right side of the 450? It's not much weight but it's still weight.

First off, nice pic, I like the tilt shift lens effect (which I'm assuming you did in post since tilt shift lenses weigh a buttload), it brings the viewer to the part of the picture you want highlighted, that building setting there in the middle of nowhere needed something to spice it up. It...

This is the hurdle I'm having trouble getting over. Sucks about the crash Elliott, I know it's no consolation but at least you didn't have a camera on there also.

Try these... http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/118/1134/=hry9yd they come 10mm long and need to be cut down, but they fit perfectly and they're in stock.

You could sure lose some weight by ditchin the batt for video and using a ubec off your 450's battery balance plug. Again well done and some steel balls to do a straight in fly over at that speed on your second day of fpv'n. So far my experience has been fiddle around trying to make things...

Well done! Do you have something under the gopro for anti vibration and what's that over the gopro lens? tom

Woof! Don't leave us hanging, what kind of space alien wizardry is this?

Yeah, the bronze bearing comes in 10mm length, I used a dremel tool and cut it in half so I ended up with 2 4mm bearings, they're a little short but they work well and they were available. McMaster ships fast too, they have all kinds of spacers and other building materials for quads. The one...

no you can't use the same prop for both directions. if you're looking straight down at the prop in your hand, one direction prop will have the higher edge of the blade in your right hand and the other direction should put the high edge in your left hand. The high side of the prop is what gives...

The high side of the blade is the direction the blade should spin in if that helps.

sounds normal to me. When you execute the CSC motors start on a low rev, you've got like 3 seconds to put the throttle over 10% before the motors shut down and you have to re-execute the CSC.

Does the tail act like a big sail in the wind? I'd maybe think about coating those solder points with liquid tape or silicone or something, you know, just in case it should get set down on a metal object like a grill or such...

NICE!!! Dang, your just down the road from me, I'm in cottonwood heights. In the video are you flying in the park by the pool at point of the mountain? I recognize the Utah State Penn. in the background. Way to represent Utah!!

http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/118/1134/=hqvrcp apologies, these were the ones I got because they were out of alum. you can get 2 bearings out of each one and they are tight in the hub. Another place to check if they have a store in Seattle is Marshal's hardware, those guys have everything.

I got some of those from McMaster, they're a hair to long, but easy enough to cut down with a dremel, and they are tight as in need to tap them into the prop. I'd check quadrocopters.us since the op is in Seattle, I know they sell them.

Classic pic w/your dogs, we're on our 4th golden but this one has never embraced her retriever lineage which is kind of a blessing, no more slobbery tennis balls dropped in your hand while you're talking to the neighbors. Nice frame, you and Yuri did good!

Agreed, but you can't fault them when their whole ad campaign clearly stated "Take the chance". Looks like that chance may have paid off.

You really had to be jones'n for some flytime to put that thing up in that wind-ZOINKS!! I'm just utterly amazed and gobsmacked at how good that gimbal is, maybe those DJI guys are on to something, hmmmm:02.47-tranquillity: oh yeah, the piloting was alright too. yeah that's right, I...
