Hi all,
I thought i'd share a brief video of IRIS working quite well with Droidplanner2 and a Nexus7 tablet using a simple waypoint setup.
Before this recorded flight, I took a much longer autonomous journey with IRIS at 75m(altitude) flying approximat

I'm wondering if anyone has added a FPV kit to the IRIS. I would be interested in how and where to mount the parts (camera, transmitter with antenna, additional battery?).

How long will my battery last at wide-open-throttle? Will the battery warning kick in before I start losing altitude? How much weight can the Iris hold? What happens if my transmitter dies during flight? Which props work the best?
These are questi

Just had a great maiden flight earlier today with my IRIS. I flew one full battery using ALT/HOLD, and then did another flight fully autonomously using DROIDPLANNER. I have a few questions I'd like to ask about using droid planner and flyin

So, I got my Iris all put together today and I have a couple of questions:
1. What is the reason for the poor fit of the props? I though I was going to cut my finger on the motor trying to tighten the props down. Is there an easier way? Also, I boug
