We finally had a break in the weather long enough to get outside and get up in the air!
Before leaving there was some question about which two flight modes I should start with. Key candidates were Stabilize, Altitude hold and Loiter. I finally opted for the first two. Stabilize because it doesn’t rely on anything fancy, and then Alt. hold to make flying a little easier.
The result? In a word – awesome! It’s been a while since I was able to fly and it was great to finally get back into the air. See for yourself.
The F450 has some wobble to it. Nothing terrible and it should be something we can fix using the Autotune feature of the APM.
S. loved it and wanted to try it out, but was too nervous. That’s actually good as I would really like things 100% sorted before she does that. But in the car on the way home she told me she wants a little quadcopter that is all her own 🙂
What a wonderful journey!
I’ve shared my parts list including links to where I bought things in case anyone is interested. You can see those details here.

Looks great 🙂
Thanks. Plenty of small changes still to be made to it but all of it is gravy from this point on 🙂
