@Taylor,
The engine in that one is Lambert Kolibri Nano (I guess) which is around 3.5k USD from US dealer or 2100 euro ( direct). 3.5 pound thrust
After some experinence in 3 D heli and some stunt flying ( fast fingers), you can control these , not a problem. It is the wife and the wallet that kills you :)
My idea for first flight is recording what happen at DCM at that speed ... only recording the data ...then after this kind of test i start to evaluate what kind of automatic test we can do ;)
Jonathan. We run the DCM at 70Hz, which is faster than the servos can respond (50Hz). Only on quadcopters, where there are no servos (just solid state ESCs), is there an argument for faster loops. There, we run a PID layer above the DCM at a faster speed.
Chris - wouldn't the hardware be capable of polling at a higher rate of say, 500Hz or even 1Hz however if the software is capable of running that fast or not is another matter.

Robero, that probably would be safe :D The last thing we want to have is an UAV flying at 200MPH struggling to keep its course.
