Cool mini build MrHeli4444. Which wood type did you use for the mini?

Regards

T

Thank you Traveller....I used Spanish Cedar for this build. Super light and stronger than Balsa.

Love the thread Jim. Great to see more new frames coming to life. As someone recently commented on my wooden B4 quad that you built "Man, that frame is awesome. It's 3D flying art"

Thank you Ant  :)
  Starship LibrePilot is back in dry dock. **Be advised**  During a recent 5 minute mission #4 engine broke free from it's mounts while while running at 70% thrust. Galaxy warnings have been sent out. The engine was last seen breaking apart while speeding past the dwarf star Alpha Centauri C. The crippled ship made it back to port safely on 3 engines where it's being repaired. Keep an ear to the ground via this thread for updates.

Illuminators a bit too high tech for a Flintstones copter ;-)

I was thinking it should have coach lamps or similar.

Have begun an Octo build. A 220mm Micro Octo with a gimbal I'm hoping.

CCD cameras work better at night than CMOS.  If you get a camera that has OSD (buttons and settings menu), you can adjust things like make it more sensitive for night flight, or make it where looking at sun you can still see ground, or fix bad colors that happen when there is no white in picture.  Also automatic SenseUp can get even more light sensitivity by reducing frame rate.

A good CCD camera plus a good light gathering lens will make it possible to fly with just moonlight.  My best camera sees better in the moonlight than I do, I don't have trouble walking around in the moonlight.

CMOS can definitely be smaller, lighter, less expensive.

  Good info Cliff. Most of the flying i'll be doing with this rig will be indoors in well lit areas. Would be fun to set up a night flyer with a CCD camera and custom night settings. Good to know this. thank you

 I put lifts on the 4 CW motors for overlaping props. May need to make the lifts a bit higher but will try it like this first.  Just waiting on a few more parts she should be airborne by the weekend...  I went with the DYS  3100kv... 4" props for starters
