For those of you that don't already know... http://www.shop.aglhobbiesllc.com/OpenPilot/OpenPilot-CopterControl-Board.html Rusty is great to do business with, I have three of his frames, and I think he is an excellent choice for distributiing the CC boards. Ken

Went out to the field eraly this morning with the two MK, two of the little quads, and for the first time in a long time one of the RC helis. The MK flew as they always do, although today I was focusing on completely manual flight with both of them, not something I've done a lot of with either...

Just about to start the build of a Y6, a first for me. I've flown a lot of different configurations but never a Y6, so when it became obvious that the Hoverfly board wasn't happy in its MK quad frame home I decided to take the opportunity to not only give it new frame but also to try out a setup...

At a couple minutes past 2:00 eastern time the Hoverfly GPS went up on their website for preorder with delivery in late August/early September. No, I didn't order one, I'm not going to pay $450 to be a beta tester of an unproven product with limited capabilities when they're still trying to get...

I found myself needing to order a few odds and ends for the MK fleet so while I was online doing that I added a copy of Aerosim for those rainy weekend days when you want to be out flying but just can't. Now I already have a perfectly good copy of Realflight that I used extensively back in my...

This is what the Hisight II mount on my Hoverfly quad started doing on power up after upgrading to the newest version of firmware. Someday I might actually be able to use this thing, but I'm not holding my breath waiting... :rolleyes:

More video from Sunday at the flying field, this is our best pilot Eyal practicing his competition routine with a Trex 700. The video was a spur of the moment let's see if we can do this sort of thing, recorded using the Droidworx AD-6 and GoPro HD with Sunex lens, with the AD-6 in GPS position...

The rain finally stopped and conditions were the best they've been for a couple weeks this past weekend so it was time for a trip out to the flying field to see if I still remember how to fly! One of the main goals for the day was to get some video with both Hexa's now that the Droidworx AD-6...

On the left, Hoverfly Sport, on the right KK 'blue board'. The KK quad flew for the very first time about an hour ago, a short hover under spotlight outside the basement slider. Tomorrow I'll do a back to back comparison of the Hoverfly Sport vs. the Kk Blue Board on the same frame with the...

Taken late last week from a couple hundred feet above my front yard, MK Hexa with Droidworx landing gear and Photohigher AV130 mount, Canon SX200 with CHDK intervalometer. The flat gray horizon is the Atlantic Ocean... Ken

Just completed assembly of a new aerobatic quad, Kindjal frame, Hoverfly Sport F/C, 1000KV motors, 3S 2100 mAh battery. Did it's first flight on the concrete pad just outside the basement slider due that being th eonly place outside I could light up enough, wasn't able to do much more than get...

As most of you know I recently had the compass board go bad on one of my Hexa, dead, no lights, no power. OK, order a new board and see if the old one can be fixed when I have nothing better to do. New board arrives, I solder the header to the board, install, and go through the calibration...

I really like how well their big board works as a sport flyer controller even if it is supposed to be an APV flight controller, so as soon as I can swap out a KK for this one I'll see how well the sport board actually works, more in a bit... Ken

Once I got past the inital problems with GCS not working right on the first laptop I installed it on I was able to get the CC board setup and working on 425 mm Gaui upgrade frame, this one... http://www.rcdude.com/servlet/the-1951/HoverThings-VC-dsh-20-Frame-Upgrade/Detail This is the same...

My CC board arrived in the mail yesterday, last night I mounted it on the frame and started the initial setup. Everything went well until I got to the firmware load, thats when the problems started. I went through several cycles of trying to get to the point of being able to boot the board after...

We've decided to open a new forum dedicated to Arduino, Multiwii and all the variations that are popping up so the collective knowledge about these boards can be found in one place. Enjoy! Ken

Last week I got my hands on one of the new Quadrino advanced boards with autoleveling, altitude hold, and compass. Initially I put it on an extended Gaui frame with ESCs and motors that I had been flying with a KK blue board but no amount of PID tuning could get rid of the wobbles. While I was...

It was bound to happen sooner or later, today I had my first failure of an MK circuit board. Went to the field with the stock Hexa, Gaui 330X, and newly built VC-20 430mm Gaui style frame now with KK blue board. My intent was to get some good aerial stills with the Hexa and then just do some...

What was I thinking when I bought a Quadrino board for one of my little quads that needs a USB connection to the board and a Java based GUI to set the PIDs to get the D**m thing flying??? At least with an MK the board it pretty much works out of the box with the factory default settings, heck...

Do you like Mk flight controllers but don't like being locked into using I2C controllers with it? There's a great way to fix that problem for not a lot of $, http://abusemark.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=3 After building my X8 project using standard Turnigy...
