Video Part #1

Bit of a slow start...

The camera gimbal starts up when power is applied but then I have to wait until it gets a GPS fix before takeoff....

I must admit that I was a bit sceptical about the whole project. Glad to be proved wrong.

No...

I was trimming it all up and had a hard landing which cracked the undercarriage....

I fixed it with my hot glue gun (owch!  redface:) fairly easily but realised that it was all a bit top heavy (hence the rather undignified falling over at the end of the first flight)...

So, I changed the undercarriage to a 'spider' type which is more stable....

I have also taken it all apart and fitted the flight controller to an anti-vibration mount to make it fly more smoothly....

Since then, it has been too windy like....  evil:
