    The new “FPV Dashboard” is a massive improvement on the original one you used but perhaps it needs to be made just a tad smaller so as not to obscure the scenery.

    Looks great regardless.

    Nice couple of videos Hoppy.

    in reply to: A cool Wednesday fly #8416

    Yes Hoppy, it was a tad cool but otherwise a nice day for another fly.

    Think I have the iNav system sorted out on the BumbleBee finally but I need to order some new LiPo batteries as some of mine date back to 2016 and have had hundreds of flights.

    I think this is what caused a brownout (and FC reset) today on the last flight of the BumbleBee. Luckily only a broken prop blade to replace & it will be good to go again.

    Had a flight with the E-flite Pulse XT25e today, first in a while but as always it performed flawlessly.

     

    The Eyas “Li’l Eagle” biplane also got a good workout today.

    Time & determination !!

    I’ve just re-edited my 2 videos & added some extra footage “borrowed” from Toad Hall Productions, thanks Kermit.

    Another quality video from Toad Hall Productions.

    Sure was a busy day in the air above the Field today.

    in reply to: PLEASANT SAILING #8381

    Just to set the record straight, I was only on the hard twice, once by accident & once by design, but it was a nice day for a sail & BBQ none the less.

    Nice it see IanH & DavidP joining in the BBQ & chat session also.

    No need for fancy names, just need to improve my flying !!

    in reply to: (Almost) Queens Birthday Fly-In #8345

    After our “crashingly good day” on the Almost Queens Birthday Fly-In the 3Dprinter has been working overtime today.

    Started out with a new canopy for Hoppy’s S800 Reptile flying wing (lost during flight)

    then a new camera plate for the “almost” indestructible Pan/Tilt gimbal for my Raptor

    and then a new engine mount & wing joiner for the Raptor as well

    All the minor foam repair work is now completed so just need to repair the battery tray & reassemble it all before fixing the PIFF settings in the iNav Flight Controller.

    By the time all this rainy weather goes the Raptor FPV should be ready for another iNav maiden test.

    Thanks David, would do the same for a white man !!

    Just to let you know your Razor is setup & ready to go along with its very own Buddy Box system.

    Just need to make sure you bring the wings & the Prop assembly along if we don’t catch up before we fly again.

    PID (the old AutoPilot Control Loop)

    P = Proportional

    I = Integral

    D = Derivative

    PIFF ( the NEW iNav AutoPilot Control Loop)

    P = Proportional

    I = Integral

    FF = Feed Forward

    Now to understand how it all works Google it in YouTube

    Enough to say I forgot to set it up correctly. Oh well lessons learnt by mistakes stay in the brain a little longer.

    Not a good day at all !!

    in reply to: (Almost) Queens Birthday Fly-In #8327

    Nice one Hoppy, reminds me of the Cloud Surfing days we often had down @ Calverts Lagoon.

    in reply to: Firstar EX “Raptor” refit #8323

    New Slimline Gimbal installed & tested, hopefully all ready to fly.

     

    in reply to: Firstar EX “Raptor” refit #8322

    Seeing as we are now not flying today it will give me time to double check all the alterations to the Raptor before her refit maiden flight.
