An Align O-Ring popped out. Align parts really do suck, & this threw off blade tracking. -

The scene during swashplate training. -
Views: 326
There is evidence blade tracking alters the swashplate mixing. The same thing would happen with algebraic mixing, but the neural network can be precisely retrained, at which time the blades need tracking again. -

First autonomous sky painting with the 35mm sensor. -

Used our 1 day off to excercise the 35mm sensor. The frigid weather had the animals coming into the sunlight when they would normally be hiding in the shade. -

An oscillator is damaged but it still works. This board would be $190 to replace. -

A minimum level of protection from this type of crash. -

The remaining unmelted wires on the RCE-BL35X. Need to inspect the main board for more damage. -

Sharp pictures from the 200mm don't seem possible anymore. The 35mm shutter has only a 1/200 sync. This is much farther than the equivalent shots on the 20D. The smaller pixels magnify everything. -
Views: 264
Couldn't get the shutter curtain sync to work either. Blades still appear to spin counterclockwise.

More like a studio camera than a tourist camera. The lack of an integrated flash is the biggest problem. Got many easy fill flash shots with the EOS 20D. Now those shots require planning & effort.

The most expensive flash in the universe arrived. Intended for photographing high altitude aircraft, high altitude aircraft, & aircraft. -

UPS is taking a real long time moving the EOS 5D, but we can use this flash with the A560 in long exposure mode. At full power, bounced off the ceiling, it's the softest light ever. -

If U can't take the shine, wear sunglasses. Notice we shifted the rotor 1/32" out to try to get more yaw compensation. -

Aren't U glad U didn't need to rebuild this. -

During a complete rebuild of the tail rotor, discovered.... -

The shaft was bent since the Mar 04 crash & causing the yaw compensation to bind.

Power & camera shutter have the same connector. Time to change power connector style. -

Discovered binding in the tail rotor linkages from threadlock, excessive bolt tightening, or dirt. -
