About Me:
I built my first UAV in 1989. GPS didn't exist but I had a rate gyro autopilot and basically flew it around looking at the downlink video with data overlayed. Think its hard to do now you should have tried all this 20 years ago.

"Hello,
I haven't entered one of these since T3 R4 so I thought I'd give it a shot with my AQ6 Hexa. The writing was on the wall that multirotors for LOS work were much more practical so my Attopilot has hung quietly in my garage for quite a while.

"Chris asked to increase the zoom in Deep Zoom so I used 100 percent scale instead of 75 percent. Go back to the web site and open both in different windows and you can see 100 percent is better. You can almost make out my little Santa Claus."

I just flashed my tiny45 with v16 and it no longer works. I put back on v 15 and everything is ok, normal lights with the 3 positions of my aux channel.Anyone updated theirs lately with good luck. I flew it with v15 and it would stabilize but would…
