Multicopter

I got back to work about a week ago, thanks to everyone that had kind and supportive words, I appreciate it. It’s an engineering oriented company and the people at the new place are nice and smart folks which makes it a cool place to work. I took my mini-quad out to show the FPV […]

I shot another more interesting multicopter FPV flight this evening. My buddy Ollie shot the video from the handycam and was my backup pilot and spotter and I flew the camera on my Y-6 hexacopter. On my previous flight, which was my first time flying a multicopter via FPV, I just lazily strolled around because […]
