I will do so when I get home tonight after work.
But mine are far from being optimum.

Ok here they are Graham, they may be ok for you, or they might not.

I also put these in the CLI

set looptime = 2500
set acc_lpf_factor = 100

And if you want to rotate your board so the USB is on the side and easier to get at.
At the bottom of the configuration tab
Yaw adjustment -90 (or whichever way you rotate it.)

Just saw this Stambo:) thanks i will give them a try:)

RAW VIDEO, TURN THE VOLUME DOWN!!

Took my 6yo son for his first go at snorkelling in the sea.
He has used his gear in the bath, and in a swimming pool but never in the sea.
He loved it, although the poor little soul was shivering when we got out he did not want to stop.
Then it was time for some FPV flight with my MiniQuad.
This place is a marine reserve about 30 minutes from where I live, I should come here more often.
It was too windy for any decent video but here is a sample of what I did get. The higher I got the more gusty it got.
I realised after that I had the wrong profile selected in the Naze32.
We live and learn.
I also had a few spectators, one took some details and is going to contact me some time in the new year for more details on how to get started.
Was an enjoyable day, could have been so much better with a bit less wind.

Went exploring at the local school for a change of scenery from home. Had a go at trying to keep the truck in shot but it's not easy when it is being erratically driven by 6yo Jacob.
This place is just a few minutes down the road and is a good alternative to driving 20 plus minutes to most of the other places I fly.
Has the nice flat grass area for Jacob to throw the truck around and plenty of trees for me to play in.
It also gets Jacob and I out together doing something we both enjoy.
Jacob seems to think if we set up a course he will beat me. After today I feel he may be right.

Be aware. Ama recently posted something about flying rc anything on school grounds (paper airplanes, rc quads, model rockets) is being banned. I'll try to find a link.

I'm coming up empty....
Thinking...
This may have been only tangentially about schools. I think it was really about a federal no fly in the DC area which was impacting school programs involving rc and model rocketry.

Yeah. It was a story/letter in the Jan issue of the ama mag. That's where I read it.

Ignore me.

I could care less about what the FAA and AMA think about me flying in a school yard.
I live in New Zealand and their rules don't apply here.

Nice flying Stambo, must be great for the both of you to enjoy the same hobby, I think Jacob may be wanting to swap vehicles soon mind.... Haha, awesome to see that though. Father and son having some cool time together..

He already flies a nano quad in the house, he calls it a nana quad.
The V949 will be next, he has already had a couple of goes with that.
And then...
I have another TX and access to a second pair of goggles.
Biggest problem is that his eyes don't fit the goggles yet.
Maybe a bigger screen for now.
He will probably out fly me within a year or 2.

Yeah I was a bit nervous about the water but it has been flying great so I thought I would give it a go.
I had my snorkel gear with me in case something went wrong.

Besides, my names not Tony.
