It's still waiting on me. Just haven't sat down long enough to take it apart and put it back together with loctite.
Oh, that's good news. They were a lot more expensive when I built mine for $250.
I can put a $200 flight computer on this one and do the same. Nothing wrong with spending $800+ for a Quad if you want, but I'm just cheap.
I'll be mounting the Contour camera on this one.
Nope nothing yet, sorry. I may have mentioned. I have to take it all apart, and put it back together with blue locktite. I think a couple of things have already vibrated off, so replace as well.
Same video with update at the end! (03:20 is the new stuff)

I have a 2nd battery that I can add which will make a big difference as well. But if I'm right, the firmware upgrade should go a long way. The flight computer has sensors that detect movement and...

The extra...
I just remembered! I know this is much like a fishing story, but prior to me pulling out the tripod and setting up the camera (smart phone) to shoot the video my first flight was a good one. 6 foot...
Oh I'm sure it has to do with the computer adjustments. That's the "tuning" I'm talking about. Each axis has it's own sensitivities. Even though I set the self leveling level, I don't remember...
I didn't feel stressed. In fact I was pretty happy that it wasn't crazy time trying to control it. I think it would have been if this was a $1000 quad though.
The joystick has increments to it. I was moving the throttle one notch at a time, so I was basically putting it just at the threshold of flight. Now as far as pitch and yaw, that did seem to be...

No instructions came with the remote control or the computer. I connected everything as described on the DIY article. That's not good enough for me to power it up! I have to get the computer and...

Received an e-mail yesterday, parts have shipped!
I guess the back ordered items finally came in. Now I just have to wait for a big package from China!
