This was our first attempt at shooting from a fixed position for a complete battery charge. This is not commercial.

Good news: didn't have any autopilot issues

Bad news: the camera somehow filled its entire 4Gig SD card before landing.

All shots had to be downwind to get enough lighting. Obviously, heading was highly variable. Lacking a viewfinder downlink, it was impossible to center the shots.

Information about the setup

Also, have some shots from Newark. The wind down there is 20mph on a good day.

Got a new timelapse. The software yaw damping was slightly improved. She actually points downwind for some of the ground based shots & stays pretty stiff. Finally, we have a dead battery.

Pretty good, guys.
I took a look at your code and didn't understand a thing :-)
Do you guys use your own tail gyro?

That is incredible that you can fit it all to a 450 size heli! What is the AUW?

Been watching this fellows blog on Rcgroups. Homebuilt from the ground up. Pretty darn respectable. Hes got a dry sense of humour too.

Went crazy with the motion tracker, so this is a magnified view of the timelapse.
