.Joel Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Well, the thing flys amazing. It's so well balanced and responsive it's crazy, had it in rate mode the whole time and it's just completely manageable before switching to attitude/self level. It's also damn quick, i'll have to get some video of it in action this weekend. Until then, here's a video from FPV Roo Awsome footage in 15 to 25 knots. Quote
Goz Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Posted May 8, 2013 That is some amazing footage from FPV Roo PS. Your quad needs more lights Joel how are you ever going to pull off UFO hoaxes like that. Quote
bakersdozen Posted May 8, 2013 Report Posted May 8, 2013 Joel, let me know where/when your flying - i'd love to come down and have a gander Quote
.Joel Posted May 10, 2013 Report Posted May 10, 2013 Just briefly fooling around whilst I tune this one up... happy with it, perhaps should of gone slightly higher KV on the motors, 1350 instead of 1200 however everyone around me reckons "that's bloody fast enough." http://staff.extremekites.com.au/joel/u ... keoff2.mov http://staff.extremekites.com.au/joel/u ... rcles2.mov Quote
sinbad Posted May 12, 2013 Report Posted May 12, 2013 Im really impressed and happy i actually got to break my quad on the weekend, instead of my son breaking it pictures later of the broken part Quote
Goz Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Posted May 13, 2013 Maybe you need an Ecks Frame to Terry Check the crash at the 2:00 mark Quote
sinbad Posted May 13, 2013 Report Posted May 13, 2013 Naa i come down out of control much faster then that Quote
bakersdozen Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Few pics from the Quad today...raw, no editing so far. Quote
jhn.holgate Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Nice one B12. Got a bit of height to em by the looks. Quote
bakersdozen Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Yep, sent the quad up until it was only a very tiny speck in the sky. Not quite sure how far up it was, but fairly high. Will have to send up the ContourGPS, so I can get a height reading, LOL. PS. was using an ND filter on the GoPro too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ND-NEUTRAL-DENS ... 2c69498384 Quote
bakersdozen Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 Helps with the jello effect (when filming for video) from the rotors and also neutralises some of the sun glare .. Gives better options for adjusting in post. Quote
Kathleen Posted May 22, 2013 Report Posted May 22, 2013 I heard a story that someone lost a quad copter when flying it recently. Just wondering if it has been found? Quote

SoutherlyBuster Posted May 22, 2013 Report Posted May 22, 2013 Joel, Perhaps your next build needs a buzzer attached which gets activated when your controller is no longer sending a signal out. Mark, Love the pictures. Funny when I looked at the above photograph I wondered whether there are any hills for some down hill action. Then I see further to the NE some nice contours, then spot Lesterfield, right no wonder this is one of the top Mountain Bike spots. Will have to visit this some time with the landboard. I know it's offtopic, sort of related -- the interesting things you see from Multi-Rotor CAMS --- right back on subject. Quote
SoutherlyBuster Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 Single rotor and glide: and if you squint your eyes ... his glider with electric motor in flight. Just took these with my mobile phone this morning, so not the greatest quality but the quality of the flight was superperb. WIth two lipo batteries he managed at least two hours of flight time. Electric to take it to height, turn off and glide down, turn motor back on again and have another go. Regards, Norman and Zachary. Quote
Goz Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Posted May 25, 2013 Zac looks very happy with his Bixler Norman. Good little planes Quote
sinbad Posted May 25, 2013 Report Posted May 25, 2013 *cough* the search through the national park continues.... Ashes to ashes dust to dust wood to tree's RIP joels Quad. Quote
jhn.holgate Posted June 6, 2013 Report Posted June 6, 2013 er.....um.... just saw this on the PKF forum. Talk about giving the local birds nightmares.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Kslv7l75jQ Quote
