T3 speed contest: abusing smooth-flying EasyStar.

Posted by Krzysztof Bosak on August 17, 2009 at 3:46pm

T3 Trust Time Trial robotic airplane pattern flying using FLEXIPILOT from Krzysztof Bosak on Vimeo.

The overall time is disappointing but was expected.I used unprepared airframe, just trottled up settings,it is a surprise it flew the pattern without too much oscillations(it has gain scheduling related to throttle, what saved the day).Altitude hold is below average at 10m.Time: 1:26.The platform is dull gray development EasyStar workhorse rudder-only, too ugly to show.Onboard 2 GPS and 3 autopilots: one FLEXIPILOT piloting and logging, one FLEXIPILOT just logging,one RVOSD (not used except for display).

    The RVOSD is return-home only autopilot and for flying usually requires thermopiles as any other autopilot in this forum.
    However in my case only RVOSD PCB is being used.

    Krzystof: Is RVOSD a compleet autopilot solution and you only add the camera and IR sensors ect.?

    Ah, now that was clever, I'm not hip enough to know that so instead of deducting points they should be added!

    The music is of course from T3.
    The RVOSD is any gen but has special firmware for autopilots.
    It will be sold separately. I am not selling things not made by me - I am not a RC shop.

    I love the OSD!! Is this the new generation 3?

    Nice demonstration. Seemes like you flew a few extra metres, due to wind from the left in the picture(?)
    Do you plan to offer EasyUAV bundled with RVOSD?

    Thank you, there are something about this OSD in my every movie on vimeo. I am collaborating with the maker of it in order to bring the top result. Besides that the OSD has simple thermopile-based rethome.
