Summer nearly here ...

After a long break over winter, I did manage to get a good amount of flying in and have improved alot. So now its time to do a few more builds, or actually put up the ones I have completed.

Like the QAV210 and the Armattan Armadillo with the 3D printed stuff I have made for those builds. I will get onto those on the coming week. I also have lots of spare parts that I am pondering what to create.

One I plan to do have is resurrect the flip acro frame and make it FPV and the same for the fortis tricopter. Get some of the bigger birds back onto the air. I also have a couple of wings to make, never flown a wing before so that should be fun.

plenty to come in the coming months.

Diversity Ground Station

So a couple of months back I finished my diversity ground station. I did take photos of it while building, but not really enough to do a proper build log. I had to redo a few things and forgot to capture those part.

But the upshot is that I now have a very cool ground station.

It runs off a 3s battery, has a master power switch that arms the whole station and has 2 video and power feeds for goggles. One is dedicated to fatshark and is limited to 8v, so with my custom cable I can power the fan on the Dominator v3s.

Each of the power feeds also have there own switch.

For diversity its running the FR632 and uses pig tails to have external SMAs at the top of the lid.
A 7 inch screen for testing and allowing bystanders, and my young daughter / spotter to watch me crash..!!!

Of course lots of little 3D printed parts to make it look clean.

It works extremely well and I'm super happy with the final product.

So if anybody wants more details leave a comment.

Here are a couple of photos.
