Hello to all,

A new VTOL OAT Bicopter fully stabilized by a 9DOF IMU (arduIMU v2 + HMC5843) has successfully done its fist series of flights. This is the SCORPID-450 build by Matthieu Bourdarias from the french VTOL-UAV Team. The Scorpid-450 UAV uses an innovative design based on Gary Gress concept. The Oblique Active Tilting (OAT) at 45° of the twin engines allow a full pitch control by using the induced gyroscopic moment. Now with only a 9D0F IMU its flight is fully stabilized on its all axis with a dedicated firmware (AutoStab v3.31 JLN) and a special mixing software.

Here the setup used by Matthieu Bourdarias:

- ArduIMU+ V2 flat,

- HMC5843 Triple axis magnetometer,

- Firmware AutoStab v3.31 by Jean-Louis Naudin,

- Two brushless motors + ESC: EMax CF2822 (202W, 1200KV),

- 1 propeller GWS HD9050Rx3 - 1 propeller GWS HD9050x3,

- 1 receiver Futaba R617FS,

- 1 Lipo Turnigy 11.1V (3S1P) 2600 mAh,
