Alien maiden

Post by KevG »

Well it went well. Did not need the bin bag and was nice and stable. Have some on board video which I will look at tomorrow in work.

But here is the maiden

Looking good Kev, be interesting to see what the on board video is like.

Make sure you fully understand what the lights mean on that Naza before you take it outside.
I would hate to see you fall victim to the Naza flyaway.
If you have a low voltage alarm attached, take it off.
Learn how to use and rely on the Naza Low voltage warning or OSD when you FPV it.
The magnets in the little beepers have a huge effect on the compass.
I did a video to demonstrate just how bad that can be.

Thanks mate had one on there tonight to try to set values for the low voltages and my load figures were a bit out, but don't intend to fly with it on there,

Will be working on a gimbal soon, well after I come back from holibobs,

Will be careful outside as I have not done a compass cal yet, but will be doing that first thing,

I was running 10" on mine with 1000kv motors.
Flew really well but I could never get rid of the jello in the video.
Might try it again with a mobius in case the problem was the Horyzon HD cam that I was using.

Don't let the slow maiden deceive you, I've had mine up over 80 kmh. :D
I am a bit better pilot now, I may have to try it again.
Need more FPV gear. :)
