Bixler Bird Chase

I was flying a windy day when I spotted one of the local Common Buzzards? I followed him and he played chase with me for a while. Arduplane behaved very well, I was testing RTH a few times and I will plot a cool route when the weather gets calm. I do have shorter range …

450Quad fun FPV at an old factory

I changed a few settings on the 450Quad in order to make it more stable. With tweaked PID values it is now very smooth, new propellers also help reducing vibrations to a minimum. I shot a video at the loading dock of the factory. 1 gate was open and I flew inside with a very …

Screen layout

I have been looking thru the statistics of visitors and was thinking of changing the layout of the site a bit. This design/theme is quite good but I want to use the full width of my screens at work. The current theme is static and I want a flexible design that adapts to various widths. …

Skywalker FPV with ER9X

Aerial view

I have been busy rebuilding the videolink and it seems I solved the issue, but I don’t know what the cause was. For some strange reason the goggles did not work either so there is more troubleshooting ahead. I flew LOS to begin with to get the hang of the ER9X programming. The Ailerons have …
