Had the first flight of my HT-FPV based quad on Saturday. No tuning, just went with factory default PIDs. I installed the sonar under the frame - potentially too close to the power distribution, but it appears to be OK.

Got the last (yeah, right) order of parts in for the new quadcopter! As such I’ve finished assembly, up to the point where I’m ready to attach props and start the testing process (in these photos the props are just sitting on the adapters and not actually bolted on).

I received my APM2 Board Adapter boards last week, and have now attached them to my HT-FPV frame.

I forgot to attach photos to my last blog about the HT-FPV frame!

Recently I’ve been swapping over all my dynamic DNS needs across to DnsDynamic.org, which is a free and unlimited solution. It’s fairly decent, and packs a DynDNS compatible interface so you can use ddclient under Linux. However, I frequently want to register Windows machines, and so I wrote a simple Powershell script which can be run on a scheduled basis to register a machine.

As discussed in my last post, I installed a new APM2 PPM encoder firmware and intended to set up the failsafes on my APM2 and my Spektrum Dx8 transmitter.
