  • Morli, i got a PM from a moderator with a threat or suspension under the claim i was censoring,

  • Thanks man I appreciate the suggestion
    I may have to concede and go for coding but I would want it be be with an apm or pix hawk
    I had a multi who when I first started in the hobby and it gave me nothing but issues .
    I do not code much so it would also be difficult for me.

    I am a hands on person is all and love to build things.
  • I made this one

    with Multiwii and a few lines of added code. The great thing about Multiwii is that it is simple, and it already supports plane and multi rotor in the same firmware - although not with the same build configuration. It was just a matter of making a new build conf with elements of both, and mixing some outputs to twoinputs with ratios depending on wing tilt. A little naive but it works!

  • I love diydrones but get the feeling that the things going on are like Bruce simpson in new Zealand.

    There is just so much negativity from a number of members and all the moderators seem to do is enforce this.
  • I know what I did and I recognise there was danger hence why I flew on the left side of the field but again when almost touching the ground there is no where near as much danger it is not as if the copter could have fallen on the kid.

    And I would request that you moderators not threaten me again.
  • Since it appears moderators are abusing their power
    Threatening to suspend members for censorship yet censoring posts of members should I post about what happened with cad drones as it seems only fair.

    How about you stop commenting on my flying and it's danger when you have no idea of the circumstances
    And as far as posting goes, getting another moderator to threaten me on your behalf is a questionable move.

    This video shows the very end of a successful 4th flight where a copter got close to a child but was moving slowly less than 30cm above the ground if anything were to have occurred I would have planted that copter.

    So stop passing out opinions on what happened a realise that perspective through a zoom lens makes the viewers and the camera operator see very differently from someone there with depth perception.

    I like how you comment about common sense yet you clearly just pass out opinions with no fact checking.

    Since my original comment has been deleted (it was the first reply) i would like to repost my orginal comment in that this test flight was reckless and should have been abandoned. It was too close to some kids playing football. In the video you can here the comment. "You almost hit that kid!".

    This video shows how not to maiden a new vehicle and be respetcful to others. The OP is an experienced pilot, but he has decided common sense no longer applies to him.

    Jared, please use more commonsense next time.
  • ever the optimist hehe, if you watch the video you would hear me talking about motor position and how i would have the motors always tilt slightly up because of their weight.

  • That's just a tricopter lugging around a Falcon wing. From the batteries and othe equipment I see, there is no way it can be flown as a plane. It would stall and spin unless you were going really fast and you would most likely snap the main spar if you got it flying as a plane. I have that plane know how much weight it can carry. You must be 3 - 4 times the mass for that airframe. If you are using the tricopter controller during plane flight for the motors, I just see a small disaster in the making. I could be wrong, I want to see video of the crash :)

  • well you say bodge, and yes this is pretty much what i want to achieve.

    This is an experiment,

    but understand the only extra weight is the additional motors and the minimal amount of aluminium tubing.
