What do you do if you wanna fly formation but you have no buddies at your club who also fly fpv ? Then you build a drone and chase it around the club :-) The drone is a mscomposit swift II with arduplane. The miniquad is a selfmade frame with kk2.0 board, keychain #16 cam and 200mW 5.8Ghz...

I attached a few leds to my hexa and made them warn me when battery gets empty. They also tell me when motors are armed and during the flight they can perform a little lightshow :-) How-to is on DIYdrones : http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/u4eake-s-showleds-arming-and-low-battery-warning-leds

Hi, thx for comments ! No I have never experienced uncontollable behaviour of my hexa, unless it was my own fault (wrong switch or wrong flightmode). All my crashes (3 in 1 year) were my own fault, mostly because I didn't fully understand how to operate the copter. But flight control is not...

Latest video of testing autonomous flight (and other flightmodes) Cause I liked the way a hexacopter looks (and everyone already has a quad) I wanted to build me an autonomous flying hexa. I started thinking about it and researching beginning of 2010 and about end of march I decided to go...

Thanks for the comments, it were some fun days indeed :-) The hexa is self-made and when I made it, a year ago, the arducopter software didn't have the X option for hexa yet. So I designed it +. Wouldn't be too much work to reconfigure it as X, but I'm kinda waiting on a crash to actually do...

Nice !! What lens did you use on the 600D ? Here's a video I made for the website of our rc-club called Diest Model Club. Almost all aireal video was shot with my arducopter hexa. Still looking for a camera upgrade for it. I'm thinking of a canon 600D or sony HDR-Cx130. Not sure if I'd go...

Openpilot better then arducopter ? Difficult one... I don't have first hand experience with openpilot, but I've read a bit about them. The openpilot board has more processing power and is smaller, but it has less sensors. And they have better marketing and PR I think :-) But arducopter has a...

ARducopter hexa Here's a video of me testing my arducopter hexa with 2.0.46 firmware. I also tested an autonomous mission, flying 4 waypoints and automatic landing. At the end you can see me testing the 'simple' mode, in which the orientation of the copter doesn't matter.
