I'm discovering the meaning of scope creep :-)

"I believe it will, but I am not exactly sure to be honest. I am still new to all of this.
So to go along with your comment, I read somewhere that someone found that their MCX had 1 or 2 "hidden" channels that could be used to transmit data, but…"

"okay, i found the link: i picked up two Spektrum 1.5g linear servos (http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPMAS2000). These include the servo drivers on the board, so that was a selling point along with the 1.5g part
thanks for…"
thanks for…"
Today i flew my Blade MSR using a joystick, my PC, and the 2.4ghz LP4DSM transmitter which used to be in the tx controller. The serial protocol is best documented here, but information on this exists elsewhere including here in a few posts, on…
"oh and by the way, thanks for the info about the camera!"
"just to follow up, i know some of you are interested in the vid quality...i hooked it up to record a test video but noticed that the wiring at the camera was loose, risking another crossed wire situation. since i learn from mistakes, I will be…"
"it was given to me, so unfortunately I don't know much about it. it may have come from an endoscope. I am told it is an off-the-shelf item, but I'll try to confirm that."
Just got a new camera (on right). you can compare that to the LTS wireless camera on the left. more info on this at a later date, I don't have all the specs. maybe someone can identify it. draws 20mA at 3v, color video
"nice thanks for the intel on the capacitor! and yes diode would probably be a good idea haha.
I'll was using a nikon NEXIV vision system to take the pics. I'm glad you like the pics, I thought they were very cool too!"

Lesson learned: don't try to wire small circuitry at 11pm at night. Last night I received a small CMOS video camera + transmitter combo (2.4 ghz LTS wireless camera) and put it on my E-Flight Blade MSR. I was actually able to lift this + battery,…
"it's a fantastic joystick. I used it for microsoft flight simulator a few years back, it is very responsive and feels solid. I have the throttle and joystick set, and I would recommend it. haven't yet used it for flying point of view, but i'll be…"
"so it works, and flies! but i fried a capacitor on the camera tx before i could record the video. wiring mishap.... going to have to look into this tomorrow and try to replace it"
I just bought a wireless camera for my micro heli E-Flight Blade MSR. More on this below....I took a few weeks to digest everyone's suggestions, and I think I now have a better grasp on my project and where I should take it. For a while I couldn't…
"if I were to tackle this problem, I would use National Instruments LabVIEW and use two modules. 1) Vision Dev Module to develop the code and interface to the camera, and then either embed this onto a CCD or use 2) FPGA module to embed this to a FPGA…"
"Thanks for the comment. By tilting the rotors inwards/outwards, I'll control pitch (nose up/down). As shown, tilting rotors inwards towards center line will create an upwards force on the outside of the rotors, which will travel 90deg to the front…"
Rotors pitched to induce nose-up pitch and counter-clockwise yawI am beginning to think that this is do-able. it looks very heavy, and i need to do the math to figure out how much thrust I can get out of my brushed motors. I reduced rotor diameter,…
"Eventually I would like to add an airfoil and convert this into a VTOL tilt-wing or tailsitter, which is why right now it looks like a sideways Chinook.
