This morning I did some real world testing with the MyVu googles and the Hoverfly quad and it appers that this combo is going to work quite well for framing shots for both stills and video. When conditions are right they can be used for FPV flying though I would rather use full immersion goggles...

Yes it is, working quite well now and just waiting for the next firmware release to smooth out some of the remaining rough spots. I'd almost rather not admit that I'm getting video results from the lashed together quad frame and Hisight mount that equal or exceed what I'm getting from the vastly...

Here's what the filler panels look like...

If there any gyros or other bits of electronics that are sensitive to vibration it probably does need to be isolated from everything else. Is this box the main gyro setup for the quad or is it just an additional stabilization device? I don't see any reason to have a redundant system if the main...

Now that's interesting! So I pulled the Hexa off the shelf, hooked up the battery to the FPV TX which gets video out from the GoPro, turned on the TX and plugged in power to the Hexa. Started the motors and got the same kind of RFI problem there too. Then I pulled out my 7 inch monitor and...

I fixed them...:) Turned out to be a very simple thing to do, I took a fairly large piece of 3/8 inch thick antistatic foam I had hanging around, the closed cell kind that's fairly stiff when you try to bend it and usually comes in the packaging of new circuit boards like a video card for the...

Not particularly, I usually fly out in the middle of a big open field with no one arround, if the deer and other wildlife think I'm dorky looking, doesn't worry me...:p

I think Tarro is right, it's more about marketing than it is about actually testing the quad, they seem to be looking for the most exposure they can more than anything else and since RCG has huge amounts of traffic that's where they're focusing their effort. They did choose a few people that...

I was thinking if I can find a really cheap set of ski goggles I could cut the lower section off and mate it to the MYVU to block the light from below, might be the easiest way to go about it. Maybe I'll take a trip over to the local Job Lot store and see if they have something suitable before...

If you've been following the thread over on RCG it isn't looking good for getting one of these quads to try out. After reading some of the crap that's come up in that thread, I'm not so sure I want to be part of it now anyway, there's some, ummm what's the word I'm looking for,... characters...

With opportunities to fly few and far between this winter I know where you're coming from. It's especially bad when there's a couple multi's sitting on the shelf ready to go and the weather just will not cooperate, right now it's a nice day outside but the wind is gusting to 50 mph, no flying...

The goggles did arrive yesterday but too late to be able to do anything as the battery needed to be charged first. I did get a chance later in the evening to hook them up to my FPV gear and verify everything is working. First thing I noticed is the screens do not have as much resolution as...

Since I got the Hexa and installed the LED's under the arms I discoverd how much easier it is to fly at night with a multi than it is with an RC Heli. When I swapped frames on the Hoverfly Quad I made sure to put LED strips under the front arms and some flourescent spiral wrap on the front ends...

So you've probably noticed the spacers are longer than the prop hub is thick, glue is not the answer here. It's a bit of a PITA, but what I do is take a file and carefully bring the spacer down to the same thickness as the hub, once you do that you can tighten the prop nut down on the washer...

For whatever reason it got really fast last evening for a while but today seemed to be back to its usual self. Not bad right now but it doesn't seem significantly different than the typical response times lately. I used to be a sysadmin for a website hosting company, there's a lot of places...

Got a chance to fly the Hexa with the new props at lunch time today, set the TX timer for 8 minutes and flew it around, tried out GPS hold, Altitude hold, and both at once. Seems to be working pretty good, motors were just barely warm at the end of the flight as were the batteries, I put back...

The goggles are supposed to arrive tomorrow, if they do I hope it's before the sun goes down so I can give them a try outside in daylight. Then again they're coming via USPS so who knows if they'll actually get here... :rolleyes: Ken

They are, I supposedly got the first one with the new servos according to Rob @ Droidworx. Let me know what the servos are when you get yours, I'm curious to see if they're the same or if they changed them again, Rob did mention that they might do that in which case I get a set of the new ones...

I finally got a reply from the USPS. Their website told me I would get a reply in 2 to 3 business days after submitting my inquiry, that was last Thursday, so much for a 2 to 3 day response. Now that they did get back to me, here's what they had to say... "In order to better serve you, your...
