I´d like to share this video with you all. partly to brag about how good I am getting at flying the quad and partly to show how it behaves in a stiff(-ish) and rather turbulent wind. More info in the text on youtube

15 mph is a little more impressive than 5 mph :)
Correction, the wind was around 7 m/s or 15 mph
Sorry...
Hello Bjorn,
That looks great, I have to add a camera to my copter some time soon! I have not used RTL in the ltest code but it is great to see it coming home when you "might" just have sent it a little to far away from you..... not that I would you understand :)
Regards
Martin
I had it in loiter mode at altitude. I was going to download the log in order to time and annotate the mode shifts but the "black box" was empty when i hooked up the CLI. Have no idea why? It would have been much more informative to have the mode switches indicated.
I had to help the quad hold position in loiter because of the wind which was around 5-7 mph. at one time I held the pitch all the way forward.
The camera is attached on top making it even more wind sensitive and a bit top-heavy. I guess a streamlined "hull" or some kind of dome over the electronics cage would help a lot
RTL and waypoint tests are on the flight schedule :D
Nice video.
I'd like to see some other flight modes as well like loiter, RTL, waypoints...
