    A brilliant UK engineer... going to reverse engineer... a Chinese product...
    This is the Fall of Western Civilization. No hope.

    Cool. Maybe I should get one and reverse engineer it so we can evaluate quality and "hack" potential. Do you have a source?

    Hi Brian,

    This "AP" is a china RTH and Circle unit, But after testing this unit I have a full AP system from same company to test. I would like to test it in my small airframe, but the company says the new Skywalker would be much more stable.

    Hey Hooks,
    What did that value represent in the upper left that your bubble pointed to?

    At the risk of going against conventional wisdom and opening Pandora's box I would throw out that vibration isn't necessarily bad unless one of two things happen - you saturate your sensors or components of the vibration violate Nyquist and fold over. In the case of sensor resonance it will usually saturate for a short time so you should be able to see that in the data (are you logging?). Nyquist fold over is harder to see in the data, you just need to really look hard at your analog bandwidth before sampling vs your sample rate.

    What autopilot are you using? Nice setup, I like the airframe.

    I think I will use a rubber plate between the motor and the carbon body, even though AHRS hangs in rubber bands.

    @Gary apparently you where right about Tunnel vision too much G.

    "But had a few flight without any problems, also after this flight."
    Typical vibration problem. AP touched the wall during high-G then started vibrating.
    Maybe a 'landing' repaired it temporarily.

    Something like that.. But had a few flight without any problems, also after this flight.
    Didn't think on going manual in the seconds. Just watch it go down.
