On board aeros vids

[Mark Barnes]

Had a awsome night again tonight with Rich and Andy and got some great on board film of my F450 doing aeros in the day light and after dark, uploading to the tube now

Bit to much light glare on the dark vid from my lights so will need to tape some up but overall very pleased, also got Andys F330 maiden in the dark (because he's useless) on film so that was a added bonus

Stay tuned for the vids

Thats all down to the pilot

[Andy Sayle]

And nothing to do with the Naza

[Mark Barnes]

LOL it should at least inspire Pete knowing that I can successfully fly one of these despite me not knowing how the software works or for that matter my Graupner Radio.

I'm sure some of my ramblings about the software, and gains and stuff has sunk in really, you're just pretending.

Although, on second thoughts.....

[Mark Barnes]

good man, Andy I feel another field build comming on!

You there tonight Pete? you can have a play with mine (quad you load of dirty buggers)

Good stuff Peter  Just shout if you need a hand/advice setting it up.  Some tips for the build:

- Don't uses gallons of threadlock.  A tiny simdge, especially on the top plate screws, is all that is needed.
- Install the flight controller as close to the centre of the frame as you can, and make sure it is pointing the right way!
- Install the LED unit on the underside if possible.  Most of your flying will be up high, so being able to see it in flight is very useful indeed.
- Make sure the overall centre of gravity is slap bang on the centre of the airframe.  It doesn't fly nice if it isn't

Field build is essential too, you know you want to!

Interesting, high speed low passes were awsome, lot's of strange farting noises though!

[Andy Sayle]

Those strange noises are the sound of a motor shaft retention circlip straining

[Mark Barnes]

the noise when the motor shaft retention circlip stopped straining was even better

M

[Andy Sayle]

What about the noise when it hit the ground then?

[Mark Barnes]

that was pretty good too
