About Me:
I am your average heli nut, have been trained in CPL theory and currently have 32 hours in a H300 - Live in little old NZ, with a life philosophy of "Do No Harm" and really wanna change the world for the better!
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Spent the last 5 years researching all things vtol and want nothing more than to work in the field of UAV's, Have a lot of experience with RC Helis, from Gassers to little micro FP's and I strive to find the ultimate application of all this wonderful technology we now have at our fingertips!!

"Hiya Juan,
From the looks of it the Baro was tracking altitude successfully so this might be useless info but there can be baro issues if the baro sensor gets exposed to sunlight as it heats up and expands and can be a real headache although that…"

"Very interesting thankyou!"
"Wow, Great stuff, I have been waiting for a viable RIFT to FPV system and cant wait to try yours out!"
"Well Im gonna put it together and try it out considering the front and back motor pair aren't moved anywhere I can see being a problem for the flight controller, and if so then I can just edit the motor placement in the code."
Hi,Just wanting to confirm whether this frame layout will run OK with arducopter before I commit to building it, I don't see why it shouldn't work as a circular hex frame firmware considering the motor placement.Anyway please let me know what you…
"Not throwing stones at a glass house, but I have had issues with a faulty FTDI chip on an APM 1.4 from JDrones a year or so ago and received no help whatsoever. Being that it was my first foray into the APM Hardware the experience left a sour taste…"
"Maybe try intimidating newbies (Im picking on newbs cuz they are an established stereotype of the guys most vulnerable to screw up) to respect the equipment more by showing them how powerful these systems are in some way that doesn't reference the…"
"The thing is, often cheap unsafe equipment is to blame - and considering hobbyking products are everywhere the attention should be focused towards awareness and education of equipment faults and redundancy (Ie. don't run only one cheap BEC, range…"
"Amazing, looks incredible!"
"Gerard,
best idea so far imo, would be interesting to think about the mechanics of such an arrangement, I will be thinking about this :) Perhaps, even a mechanical mount concept which detects a failure of motor torque and lift at the same time to…"

"bad picture one.
bad picture 2 - hope these are not displayed full size that would be unfortunate for everyone -_-"

"Very interesting. Moving the center of mass to allow some control effect is a great idea.
Another way might be to have batts supported laterally on a boom, with the mounts attached with cable attached to a brushless motor so in this situation the…"

"Amazing!
Seeing the awesome evolution of the Arducopter code I was wondering how long until the APM V1.4 becomes redundant due to code optimized for the APM2.5 hardware?
Im still running a couple of 1.4's and Im curious whether their code and…"

"Wow this is awesome, but when I launch the program on my galaxy s2, the screen goes black for about 30 seconds before quitting- Is the S2 supported? Awesome idea here, Honestly using the headphone jack to put PPM through is brilliant!"
