106.09.2014unknownSchwabachMaiden flight.
206.09.2014unknownOberreichenbachTried GPS Hold + Home. Didn't work.
307.09.2014unknownSchwabachGPS Hold didn't work.
408.09.2014unknownSchwabachBARO Alt Hold works but needs some tweaking.
511.09.2014unknownSchwabachTwo short back to back flights. I forgot to take off the lens cap from the key chain camera that I had mounted on one of the speed controllers!
617.09.2014unknownSchwabachOptimized ROLL PITCH PID settings with MultiWii EZ-GUI
718.09.201420OberreichenbachGreatly improved ALT Hold via PID tuning
822.09.2014unknownSchwabachDid more PID tuning...
923.09.2014unknownSchwabachDid more ALT PID tuning...
1024.09.2014unknownSchwabachFun flying...
1127.09.2014unknownSchwabachFun flying with on-board videos.
1228.09.2014unknownSchwabachStarting to play with GPS hold.
1329.09.2014unknownSchwabachI taped my GoPro Hero 2 under the Lipo.
1401.10.201416SchwabachFun flying with GoPro Hero 2.
1502.10.2014unknownSchwabachPID tuning Roll & Pitch.
16,17,1803.10.2014unknownSchwabachPID tuning Level & Alt Hold. 3 Lipo charges.
19,2004.10.2014unknownSchwabachPID tuning Level & Alt Hold. 2 Lipo charges.
2105.10.201416OberreichenbachSuper successful GPS Hold test. MAG interference was the culpit.
2206.10.201416OberreichenbachFun flying and GPS Hold tests.
23,2409.10.201432OberreichenbachFun flying and GPS Hold tests.
25,2611.10.201432SchwabachRotated FC by 90° to try to solve GPS Hold. No success.
27,2812.10.201432OberreichenbachSwapped position of the receiver and FC. Also used advanced MAG calibration. GPS-Hold & RTH now works perfectly!
2914.10.201416OberreichenbachMore GPS-Hold & RTH tests done.
3018.10.2014unknownSchwabachStill trying to understand PID tuning.
31,3218.10.201432OberreichenbachTried different PID numbers. Fun flying with RTH.
3318.10.201414SchwabachFun flying with RTH.
34,3519.10.201432OberreichenbachFun flying.
3625.10.2014unknownSchwabachReset PID's and retuned.
