The 1st running test was after a long walk & upwind. -
Views: 263
Humans have a maximum speed of 22mph. Currently hitting 40% of maximum human speed. -
Views: 285
The 2nd running test 24 hours later was downwind & before any walking. -
Views: 278
It actually improved to 12mph, 54% of human maximum. At this rate of improvement, should be up to 13mph by November.

In smoke like this, you've got to ask one thing. Did the LiPo's explode? -

It's U. Know. Where. on Steroids. -

Captured the starving, desparate creature which has been waking us up every day. That's right. The American. -

The speed recorded during the commute. -

The GPS logger recorded a commute of 45 minutes, including 4 minutes to fill up with Saudi Arabian sweetness. -

GPS logger with battery. 8 days to build, mainly getting the PIC running. -

The balky MMC port. -
Views: 301
It didn't work very well in HeroineCar. Looks like a bad connection in the MMC port corrupted most of the data or a variable isn't being initialized. U need to power it off for a long while before restarting it. -

Goog data is almost 10 years old. Obviously their stock is too low. -

$60 gets you something from China that looks like it came from Switzerland. -

Some operator directed autopilot. Had the tail pointing everywhere to try to draw some vibration. -

Altitude is still a bit unstable. Maybe it's time for artificial intelligence .

The Futaba S3102 is perfectly useful on the T-Rex. It just needs revo mixing or heading hold. -

This IMU padding has defeated high frequency vibration for a few minutes in Rain Ramon so far, but Alameda separates the heroines from the girls. -

Got a good fix on our test range. It is 490ft from the houses & 540ft from the dumpy apartments. The takeoff position would be slightly North. -

Thumstix Deux is soldered in -
Views: 277
Maybe it's snugger than Thumstix One -

Maybe it isn't. Got to strike up a relationship with Google instead of using Hirose connectors to sell the product. -

The tail boom is bent, but still functions. -

Align raised carbon fiber prices & ghetto tail was born.

Heroine2200's laser assembly was destroyed after 3 years of use, so she's finally getting a new one. -

VicaCopter is 1000x more expensive than Heroine2200. -

But Heroine2200 is more patriotic.

A proper spectrogram would show higher frequencies with strut IMU. Nothing can show the frequency that skewed the MEMS. Fortunately U can see the jaggies of a higher frequency here. -

Without the struts, the high frequency jaggies R gone. -

New Align parts didn't just look as fragile as paper, they were as fragile as paper. -

Most people stick MAX232's in every board they make. We stick MAX233's on every USB dongle. Broadcom uses so many MAX232's it's like they're on ecstacy. -

The struts really did prevent bends.

The gadget graveyard is getting so crowded it's like Hillary's gun case. There's still a delusion that sonar may allow automated landings. -

The newest addition to the gadget graveyard. Took it off the airframe to keep it from getting destroyed. -

With the I limit at 60deg & throttle=0.60, it barely had enough room to keep the skewed roll gyro from flying away. -
