HEHEHE well done!

Time to "pay" Trappy! I wonder how Andreas can get these motor mount holes so precise... maybe we will see more on the final edit!

way to go!

@dany, I use a spare motor mount as a stencil and mark the holes to be drilled with a sharpie. Once I was sure the arms were 100% in length, I used a piece of wood to place the motor mount at equal distance from the end of the arm. Centering was done by eye, but could draw a proper centerline if desired. I think the second video will show lots of detail.

Bravo! That is impressive.

Detailed video will be up soon...  It's a good thing the challenge wasn't to edit, transcode, and upload 60 minutes of video shot in two different resolutions!

Mark I had no idea you are also a local.

We have to arrange a fly-day

I just finished re-building my quad and I'm ready to test the new AP_Limits. What do you say? Andreas?
