I had a successful test flight yesterday, Yay!! I lowered the R/C Pitch/Roll PIDs a tad and that took care of the twitchy sensitivity that I previously experienced. The flight was short - mainly wanted to see if I solved the sensitivity problem and to verify that Loiter, RTL flight modes (which confirm that GPS/compass are working) are working okay. All objectives were met.

There was a light breeze from the East and temperature was 90 degrees F.

Here is a short video taken onboard with the GoPro camera:

I will do a subsequent test where I intend to characterize flight endurance. Then I will have to scrap the airframe and replace it with a Tarot 650 Sport.

Looks good GlassKnees! I think I see some very small twitching but nothing significant in the video. Keep posting I want to see the progress. Me and my friend are building his first racing quad, so much stuff we learn from forums and youtube videos!!! No background in aviation or electronic, lol

Here is a small video of yesterdays mishap. (just for laughs)
