this is a video of the LOS maiden, all footage is from the quad, osd recording is done by FS dominator v2 other footage recorded by mobius.

It was really windy and not really the weather for a maiden, but i had too fly it.

The OSD card is a mav-link osd and the firmware is MWOSD (the beta of the next version), I'm using the beta as it was recommended to to fix the issues I was having with the osd working without live video but not with live video.
There are things that can be turned off on the artificial horizon but there aren't different options for the style, there is a font editor that can be used to make up custom icons ect that can then be used for all the components of the osd display.

Thanks guys I can see me having a lot of fun with this model and can't wait to fpv it, I've just got to make a decision on packs for it I don't know whether to go with 4s or 5s.

Maiden didn't go too well. It looks as if I forgot to thread lock one of the motors.

Video to follow

Looks great Dan, all that hard work paying off...

Post by **danhampson** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 6:55 am

Thanks Tony.

Yeah, And for the 1min 30 or what ever it was felt pretty good on stock pids, there is alot of room for tuning but for its first flight im really really happy.

What happened there Dan, what's the damage

cml001 · Post by **cml001** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 1:31 pm

U forget what flight mode u were in? What was the clunk sound before impact?

Post by **danhampson** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 2:03 pm

I mush have forgotten to/been distracted when I attached the motor 4 to its mount and not put thread lock on the screws.
The clunking will be the motor flapping around in the wind. Lol.
It's all reassembled with thread lock this time going to try to fly it again tomorrow.

Durability test 1 passed no damage other than a prop.

Derek · Post by **Derek** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 3:32 pm

WOW!!! No damage besides a prop??? That's awesome!!!

The flight was going real well. Seems to have PLENTY of power, lol. Well, we live and learn. I look forward to seeing the next video.

Tony · Post by **Tony** » Fri Jun 05, 2015 4:09 pm
