Another advantage is when you're very high in altitude and the V fall, i remark that the horizontal stability is better than other frame... specialy with a 1 meter frame !!!
I was thinking the same thing throughout the video. If this were me piloting, it would surely end at a hospital. Please be safe. Kids cannot keep their hands away from things that cut, burn, freeze, crush or electrocute, and your copter can do at least 4/5 five of these things :) We all want good News for UAVs, not park and government officials who say "no uav flying". Very nice OctoV! I still hope it gets a cylon LED array .)
..and make sure both packs are charged to the same voltage before connecting. Measure them !
While the location is very interesting, I would strongly recommend to find another flying field. This one is way too dangerous with all the people running around.

Did he not not notice all the people around him and some playing football and a frisby, how much luck does this guy need??

it's a very good option for high altitude movie.

i've made my OCTAV with 1 meter square alu branch (all branch are 1 meter).
the central board with 3mm epoxy.
I put neoprene Glue under the central epoxy to absorb vibration. I have a little tissu under the APM board.
The baro has coton above it also.
With 3 Ah 3S battery i 've flown 5 mn and i stop.
Can i put 2 Lithium Battery in parallel ? Someone know ?
A little of topic but is there any advantage of the octa V frame over the normal octagonal frame?
IS, as you probably know the octa-v layout is in the wiki:

Dani Saez from Barcelona also has an octa-v... you can also ask him about his setup

Patrice, nice setup.
I don't feel confortable flying so close to people.... bugs exist in the code and unexpected behaviour can happen any time with no prior alert...
Please be careful... diydrones don't want to be in the news, or at least not in this way :)
