Acromaster as UAVDevBoard platform

Hi,

here are some experiences with Bill Premerlani amazing UAVDevBoard on a Multiplex Acromaster.

Here is a video that shows the impressive ability of this device with Ben Levitt pattern stabilization firmware:

This is a great work from all the developers and programmers (hardware: Bill Premerlani, Tom Posey; firmware:Bill Premerlani, Adam Barrow, Adam Bellchambers, Pete Holland, Ben Levitt; Aerobatics stabilization firmware: Ben Levitt; and all the fantastic rest of the team).

This is a marvelous video, and Vilvaldi is really appropriate. This is all about flying.

Hi,

I just added a couple of video. They are the same as the previous I did with, but I played a little with a stabilization software.

Video one, with dynamic outline
Video two, with dynamic filled outline

Best regards,

I'm out of Oil Pan boards but if things go well, they should be available soon from Jordi on the DIYDrones store.
