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...

Until now, I have been flying Spektre with low-cost motors and a 3-cell lipo. Now I am ready for some serious camera lifting and FPV flying. Spektre has been rebuilt with Cobra 2814/20 850kV motors, Proton 30A ESCs, 11×5 Graupner props and 4S batteries. The...

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

I tried the Kapteinkuk & Multiwii flight controllers on my micro quad “SK!TR”, I never could get either to fly as well as I had hoped. Since then I have put an Openpilot Coptercontrol on it and have it flying amazing. The small flight board is perfect...

When I first built SK!TR I was using HK 10g 2000kv motors and didn’t have much luck. I tried the red KK board and a MWC, both were unflyable. Don’t really like those motors now. Here is my latest quad, a 8″ with Jussi’s shield and a genuine...

Here are some great videos by Warthox that show his stick movements for aerobatic flying.

Tried some flips mid-forward flight. A few crashes but I am getting them down. Best viewed in HD and fullscreen.

Practiced my flips, rolls and loops today. My PID settings allow for real fast flips, which are getting easy to do (and at lower altitudes). It is doing large loops that I think are tricky, have to time it and judge how much nick/roll to give it.
