"The center of gravity and center of lift are in the same spot, which is in the center of APM board. Also the front arms swing forward and backward so I can move the center of lift and gravity based on the payload. But with the heavy camera and big…"
"Have u seen the other pics? my favorite is this one...

"The tail fins are actually used for vibration damping, and kinda looked cool. The rear arms run all the way to the very front of the frame, and they are clamped between the CF main frame plates. My ardupilotmega sits on the rear arms in the hole in…"
"This project was inspired by the drone in the hallway in the terminator movie. I used to have a terminator body I made out of curved foam, but it got destoyed during the initial test flights, those darn trees and bushes. lol "
"For my RC blimp, I use mini ziplock baggies with small amounts of lead shot or copper BBs for ballast and trim. You just want to make sure that you have enough ballast before you go flying, and remember as the sun heats the helium, it expands, and…"
"Your project reminds me of this as well...

"Hello Stephen,
I am glad you like it. I put this frame together using square CF tubes, and some spare RC helicopter and jet parts. It is a lot of fun to fly."

"Could you add live video input as the background for the main gauge. I will upload a picture of what I am thinking about.
Thanks,"

"That Corliss wing suit video was awesome! That guys got some huge ones!!!!!!"
"I had a couple of bodies that went on it, one looked like the drone from the Terminator 2 movie, which I thought looked really cool, and another was a delta wing and I flew the tricopter with tail boom forward, so i got lift from the wings during…"
"Ok, here is a short and crappy video. I just upload the latest Arducopter 2.0.19 and tried it out in my kitchen. I need to lower the P on the roll, a bit of oscillation. By the way I do not recommend flying a ducted fan tricopter in your kitchen, it…"
"Yes, it is much safer with the EDFs. It also flies through trees and bushes much better with the EDFs. LOL"
"Oh the run time is only 5 minutes with 15000Mah worth of Lipos, about the same flight time, as when I had them in my EDF Jets. I know props are more efficient, but nobody every stopped to watch my TRI when it had props. ;0). This tends to attract…"
