Mk2 Maiden Flight
Wow! What a difference a properly made frame makes.
This flies soooo much better than Mk2.
It takes off vertically instead of lurching to one side and is extremely stable - even in manual mode I am able to maintain a decent hover.
But the biggest difference noticeable to me is its performance in 'loiter' or GPS hold mode.
Mk1 fluctuated a lot, up/down and left/right....but Mk2 is rock solid - able to maintain its position very well. (that is how I got it to hover off the screen in the previous 'introduction' video. My estimate of battery life would be 12-15 minutes - which is good. (That is about double my little one from Jaycar). Mk1 frame was 700 size, & Mk2 frame is 500 size.
Now to attach my mobile phone and get some aerial footage.....
