Multi rotor "A" test

Mark Barnes has completed the first "A" Test multi rotor at Rhyl field tonight, conditions were blustery although the test was completed showing good control.

Well Done Mark.

I won't be taking mine until I'm confident I to fly in manual mode which is the only way the BMFA will allow the test to proceed.

wouldn't mind getting mine out the way at weekend if poss.

No problem Andy, have you flown & practiced the test sequence in manual mode, I make no bones about it, it will be difficult, I'm not ready yet, Mark has been flying in manual mode for a while now.

I had a few go's at it like. only one way to find out pass or fail I guess. lol

Thanks Rich,

Was good to run through the test a couple of times to get a feel for what we should be looking for as examiners, at least were both singing from the same hyme sheet so there should be some consistency between us.

We will have to find time to run through it with the other club examiners to.

I suggest anyone wanting to take it practices and reads the guide notes that are posted in club matters so your clear on what your expected to do

So just to clarify, If I want to do the test with my little 330LF, that has an open pilot flight controller, I can use the heading lock gyro mode, as it states in the BMFA documentation?

"This allows a range of gyros to be fitted, from simple yaw dampers to solid state heading lock units."

Cheers!
Andy

Oh and Well Done Barnes on your acheivement. B test next?

Good effort Mark.. Better start practicing with my helis first !!

Zaidy, you would walk the Multirotor A cert with your transmitter operating in that fabled mode 1 arrangement.....
