I just saw where the guys that have ReadyHeli are opening a coral store! The store is www.coralfrags.com. If they have near the customer service as ReadyHeli I will definately order from them.

Nice, I like it. That is about the size of the mSR.

I knew I should have gotten the 90 degree adapter for the new muffler. I have to dismount the engine to install it now without one. Oh well. Looks like tomorrow won't be a nice day to fly anyhow, more time to get some work done. Maybe the weather will hold out Sunday. I'm getting really tired of dreary cold days.

Skywalker is DONE! Video quality looks much better than the one I lost. I didn't have to add resistors or anything to the video either. I read to put the GPS antenna on top of the ESC and it acts like a ground plane. I tried it and I get a much quicker lock with more satellites.
I might head out to Smyrna this afternoon and do some test flights. Only thing I really need to do is calibrate my current sensor. I have a wattmeter but I can't find it for some reason. I swear I saw it somewhere just last week but it must have ran away on me.
Anyone headed out there today?

Anyone headed out there today?I was going to spend money on scuba gear, but I ended up pre-ordereing the mCP x instead.

I flew the Skywalker around a few times today. The first flight it would only turn very slowly left when the autopilot was activated and wouldn't come back home. I increased a setting that basically adjusted how sensitive it is to heading change and after that it worked flawlessly. It was very windy today and I can only imagine it will work much better when it is calmer. I am confident enough to do a search and rescue mission for my other plane now.
I have mainly dove at Norfork lake in AR and saltwater diving off the east coast and southern tip of Florida. I would be up for some mid or east tn diving though.
Good luck on the search and recovery, Mike.

I just ordered an Eagle Tree ground station so that should clean up my ground station some. 
It has 4 A/V outputs and receiver diversity so that will help some. I really think there was something wrong with the video TX on my other plane. I had several dropouts when flying it. With the new one, I only lost video a few times when I flew behind myself. The diversity controller should fix that though.

I would love to see this in action when you get it all finished.
