About Me:

I'm a graphic designer working as an interface designer & Flash programmer in Montreal. I always liked photography and recently started making music videos and short movies with a team of friends.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I'm looking for ways to film stuff for our music videos and shorts from an unusual angle.

"rc-carbon.com, I've heard they make a new model that is more solid but I don't feel like buying CF parts that I'll probably break again before I have more experience landing the thing."

I tried flying with the GoPro mounted this time. I already had broken part of my landing gear last flight but managed to hold it in place with some duct tape ;) Everything went ok until I broke the landing gear again and had to remove the camera…

Here are videos from my maiden and second flight. First one ended with a bad crash on a garden house, my bad I didn't realize how much space I needed to fly it for the first time. The second one isn't complete as my girlfriend forgot to pack her…

"@Randy,like Steve pointed out it's from RC-Carbon.

@Steve I just hope the frame is more solid than its landing gear. It look more solid a took quite a beating on my first flight and stayed intact so I cross my fingers it'll last long.

Flew my quad for the second time today. I decided to skip the acro mode with which I had so much trouble keeping the quad stable last time and give it a try in stable mode. With the default PID setting I was able to flight it pretty stable under…

"The landing gear looks much more stronger indeed. How did you get Sergey to send you that? I contacted him about one of my arms which has a bad set of holes that didn't line up, he said he would send me a replacement one and it's been more than 3…"

"@Ike ESC's were calibrated all at once with Y-Harnesses they responded in synch when plugged directly into RX Throttle channel, but once plugged in the APM they go back to starting one after the other.

"@Sebastian What wrong information did Dany gave?
 
Also, I tested it again this morning with 12x3.8 props and it started feeling light at about 45-50% throttle, so I guess I won't use the 10x4.7 ones considering that I also have a camera mount and a…"
