Very good looking app, and so easy to create missions.

Olivier Dufayt commented on Yusuf Pirgali's blog post Hobbyking Seem to have a Cheap Naza looking FC
"It's an IdeaFly controller clone, you can see it in the QuanumTools pdf file, page 11...
Is the IdeaFly a NAZA clone, I don't know...
If it is, then this one is a "sub-clone" of the NAZA... ;-)"

Olivier Dufayt replied to Craig Elder's discussion APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released
"Hi all,
I have a question about tuning... one more...
I was still in 2.7 (evrything was tuned ok) and upgraded to 2.9.1b.
Stable mode is now nearly perfect for me but loiter and alt hold are "shaking" the quad. Loiter stays in a 3-4m box with a bit…"

Olivier Dufayt commented on Manfred Dickgiesser's blog post I Wish I Was Excited About The GoPro Camera Craze
"Hi Manfred,
I think it's agood product...  slightly heavier than the GoPro but the screen is a cool feature.
It's water resistance is good, I tested it under 1m of water and no problem...
I also like the zoom, even if it's a digital one. …"

"Another cheap (and quite good) alternative... I have one and the quality is really good for the price !

Image quality is very good! It goes up to 1080p at 30 fps, and 720p at 60 fps.
for the price you have a nice setup, with LCD screen and digital…"

"This is a link for a complete review (sorry it's in french).

Battery life is around 2hrs... and the screen is a cheap TN technology... Brightness is only 222 cd/m2

"Just had a look on several reviews of this french gamer-tablet... Not very good...
It looks like the joysticks are far from precise, the viewing angle of the screen is very narrow, it's mainly made for indoor use only because of the poor screen…"

Olivier Dufayt commented on Carl La France's blog post Aluminum spine for Multiplex Easy Star
"Good looking piece of aluminium... How did you cut it, CNC ?
I agree with Gary, be careful not to enter the spiral...
1. Need a stronger frame => 2. add strength (and weight) => 3. heavier plane => go back to 1....
at the end you'll have to fly a…"
