I finally managed to fly my Arducopter Modified Helicopter. Very pleased with todays test. Only hovering but its a great start. I have been battling severe ocscillations. Its rock sold now. After lots of work and late nights.
So the next step is to get some footage and add it here.
The plan is to finally Mount a gimbal camera and use the gyro cam outputs of the ACM.
Lots of things planned FPV etc....
I know there are a few Heli Guys lurking so thought i'd start a blog feel free to chime in :)
Got to say a big thanks to MartinT of buildyouowndrones, huge help spent many hours talking and working with him.
I wrote a manual with the help of mike, just press here
Managed to isolate the ACM from viabrations using Gyro pads between the ACM poly carb plate and the frame.
It now floats above the frame.

Great to see this post! I think more of us heli-folk should publish what we're doing.
I think the heli really is tougher than the quad to get right, the cross-axis effects are much larger than the quad (i.e. collective pitch affects yaw, yaw affects roll, etc) and the servos add an additional delay (I think).
That is what i'm waiting. Good job.
Well over this week, i hope to get to where you are.
thanks for the video :)
