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.
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.
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 !!
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 !!
Nice one Hoppy, reminds me of the Cloud Surfing days we often had down @ Calverts Lagoon.
New Slimline Gimbal installed & tested, hopefully all ready to fly.
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.
