OpenPilot CopterControl FPV Videos

I've been having a lot of fun with my Tricopter over the past few weeks now it's been fitted with some FPV gear. I'll create a further post very soon and detail the equipment I've got fitted on the Trricopter, but all I can say is it's a great way of flying once you learn to relax!

First go at FPV!

My first go at FPVing.

GoPro Hero 2 HD arrives - First impressions are positive!

First outing with my new GoPro Hero 2 HD. First impressions are very positive compared to the first GoPro. The colours for one seem a lot more vivid and it handles low light a lot better. More to follow soon!

More Tricopter fun!

Still distracting me from completing the Pterodactyl (although I now have working ailerons) is the lure of the Tricopter equipped with the GoPro camera.

I captured the following video over the weekend and diced with it a bit of flying/hovering over water!

 
I also captured the followng still picture hovering over my house. 

Tricopter Fun

As indicated in an earlier post, I've been having a lot of fun with my Tricopter recently. Here are a selection of some of the HD videos I have uploaded to YouTube showing some of the flights and what I've been up to. I'm using the KK blue controller board on the Tricopter with 3 2215/15 outrunner motors. These provide ample power and I get about six minutes of flight time from a 3S 2200mAh battery.

Whats that coming over the hill, is it a monster?
