Today I went out and did some tuning on my heavy lift quad powered by the OpenPilot CopterControl flight board. I was using a bluetooth module to tune the settings from a netbook computer. Much better than constantly plugging in USB to tweak settings! I got it...

Here is Mantra flying some aerobatics using the Openpilot Coptercontrol flight board. Love it!

I have been planning and sourcing the parts for a heavy lift hexacopter for some time now. Finally, it is becoming a reality. This hexacopter will be used exclusively for aerial photography and video.
