Patience is a virtue my friend :P i did have it hovering 4-5 inches on table. but i ripped all the wiring apart so i can add a plate the the underside to mount battery pack. and clean up the wiring underneath.
im in the process of drilling holes to get it back together.

Ohh yeah, the GPS board will have wireless serial and all of that jazz. 100% going to be able to do way point navigation and management wirelessly.

This would definatley make this a fantastic setup.

(It is already fantastic, it would just be even more fantastic... i think you get what i mean Lol

A change log is all I'm keeping for now. I do have a list of eventual features on the website though.

This is almost starting to sound too good to be true S11D336B, we are just being spoilt with all these cool features being developed!

That will all plug onto the 1 board!?

Bob, I have a further request. I have sent you a quick PM, to a local company that sells aerosport models and accessories. The link points to the Motors and ESC pages.

I would be ever so grateful if you could please take a look at the Motors and ESC's listed, and give me an indication of which you believe would be suitable for my (soon to be) QuadPowered project? I can then place an order.

I understand you probably have 1001 other more important things to do, however any kind of feedback would be much appreciated. Many Thanks in advance...

Hi all !
You can not imagine how stressful it is having to read over 120 pages to know the whole story !!!
S11D336B I think your board should perfectly fit to this kind of frames I am developping !
I have sent PM you this morning...

Cheers

why is it that almost no one develops frames with x flight in mind? draganflyer x4 is only production one I've seen. I'd like to see a frame producer make something more like this. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attac...1&d=1252024792 out of all the quad AP video I've seen the best ones seem to always be taken with a similar rig where the cam is placed inbetween the two front props and weight is offset in the rear by the battery.
