Here's a 4 part video series of the eventual delivery of the OzKopter.

It seems like a millenium ago when Stu (cr2o3 on RC Groups) had posted a simple question as to whether it would be possible to build a reasonable quality quad on a very tight budget.
Stu is a Vietnam Veteran and is rather restricted in mobility, so to be able to pursue his (all of our!) passion of flight, he was considering an alternative to fixed wing RC flight and multirotors offered a lot more convenience given Stu's restricted lifestyle.
From that post was bourne a generous international donation collective, which was started by Gary (Tarro on RCG)... and Gary started in spectacular style by basing the quad on the Naza-M FC... and, well, the perfect choice & quality build is testiment in this video. The Ground Station was built by Doc with more donations, which complimented the quad mounted donated GoPro.
This quad, dubbed the OzKopter, was sent to Stu's residence from Gary in USA. I drove to Stu to help him with his first flight but my knowledge is very limited with multirotors, let alone a decent FC such as the Naza... so I brought the OzKopter home with me and took it to the Doc, who is well versed in Naza FC's, and Doc kindly tweaked the beast and instructed me on the flight controls.
I then drove back to Stu armed with knowledge that I could then guide Stu to fly the OzKopter... and the end result could not have been better- OzKopter flew perfectly at Stu's control.

And the desired result...Continue Reading

Here's 3 flights with my Trojan, repowered with an eflite Power15 & MAS 10 x 7 x 3 blade prop.
No special flying, just cruising after a break from flying for several weeks... if not months... details on the Vimeo site

Project Cyclops RPV was founded in approx mid-1980's by Mr Carl Berry.
He came up with an extraordinary way to fly Remote Piloted Vehicle by using something like a Sega arcade gaming console and converted it to a cockpit complete with joystick, throttle control, even rudder foot bar, all linked to the respective pots of a standard RC controller

Mr Carl Berry passed away November 2002 at the age of 59.
His son is currently keeping this project alive.

Code:
cam23:
b16sub Temp, CamRoll, CamPitch
b16mov Out7, Temp
b16add Temp, CamRoll, CamPitch
b16mov Out8, TempTrivial first attempt at vtail camstab mixing. This changes the output on M7 and M8 to the differential with Roll as the dominant ( servos pointing towards or away from each other ).

If it rolls in the wrong direction, invert the roll gain.
If it pitches in the wrong direction, reverse the servo connections.

Many thanks to Crezzee & Brontide for coming up with this simple gimbal, the code, and for sharing with all. Guys like you two are well respected.
Cheers!

fwiw use a fibreglassing consolidating roller, like the one in the attached pic, an ally/alloy, they make life so much easier and you can roll out the excess resin with ease so not only will the end result be lighter, but it will actually be stronger
Weight WILL increase very quickly if too much resin is used, f'glass does get heavy if you aren't conscious of the fact
that said, this SSS can actually do with a bit more weight up fwd

i'm certainly not about to try and tell anyone how to suck eggs lol but here's a quick basic way to epoxy fibreglass, pretty much the same principal for repairing a boat...
~first give the epo foam you wish to f'glass a light sanding. this is important for two reasons... most epo finishes these days have a smooth wax like finish- epoxy wont stick to that at all, and you do want it to stick, you dont want the foam structure underneath to be able to move around so unless you are wrapping the foam but rather just repairing a spot, Polix is correct, it will peel off eventually. Also it will help the resin bind to the foam by having a mechanical key with the resultant scratching from the sanding. Sand until all the shine has been removed.
~then, preferably with the lightest epoxy fibreglassing cloth you can get, cut out the cloth to exact size patches for the work you wish to do, and when they are all cut out, number them with a marking pen so you know which order & where they need to be applied to the airframe
One layer will protect the...Continue Reading

Not my video, but I would luuurrrve to fly formation such as this

Dave, this is brilliant vid footage brought together with awesome editing.
Something I aspire to.
Cheers!

FPV - Team Echelon - In My Dreams (4 min 26 sec)

A real handy thing to know

This guy has achieved in making some awesome fpv footage, yet flies only LOS... from top of buildings to flying from a hat air balloon... very nice piloting skills

No Risk No Fun- crazy horst (7 min 49 sec)

This has to rate as one of the best fpv vid footages I've seen, gorgeous scale fpv

FPV Air2Air Hydroplane (4 min 19 sec)

Stumbled onto this vid, a pretty good effort at edf formation flying

FPV aerobatic team (5 min 34 sec)

Just gorgeous...

Mustangs formation flight (7 min 1 sec)

1500mm span
Crash due to a failed ails gyro (gyros used at times when flight training).
Landing gear will straighten out.
New replacement cowl & motor mount to be installed.
Plane is one piece ie main wings are glued together and to fuselage.
I have some spare motors that may work well with this bird:
~15 size Parkzone
~stock motor from TS 1900mm Cessna
Over the years I have flown this girl on 3S & 4S, from 2200mah to 4000mah, and easily carries the weight.
Last year for the fun of it I installed a basic fpv setup, 5.8/25mw, very easy plane to fly fpv.
5 channel if so desired:
~Ails
~Elev
~Throttle
~Rudder
~Flaps (super slow with full flaps deployed!)
I reckon she'd fly 3 channel easy enough though, with just elev/rudder/throttle.
