Another test of my gimbal, this time with sunnysky motors.
They are much smoother and quieter than the ones I removed.
Still a bit of jello to take care of but I am getting there.
Next flight will be it's first FPV session.

Yeah I am pretty happy with the stability, just not so happy with the "jello".
I thought I had the props pretty well balanced but I guess I have to try harder.
I may even try setting up a clean dirty type subframe to isolate the gimbal a bit more.
This is the beauty of experimenting in wood.

I also need some more batteries, I have a tractor for sale at the moment and if it sells I will have $1000NZ to spend mainly on RC goodies. :)
