I’ve made some progress on the Octocopter build. I’m currently building a two axis camera gimbal that’s going to be stabilized thought the MK flight controller.

More pictures on the project page

Remember my disqualification from FPV-community’s competition? I have some great news, Feiyu Tech thinks I deserve a FY-21AP and AP117 OSD and so they sent me a package to review.
It arrived yesterday and here are the first pictures:

Nicely packaged in plastic cases. (more…)

The interest in my KK flight controllers was bigger than I had anticipated. I’ve actually sold all of the boards that I had parts for, but as so many of you wanted a controller from me, I’ve ordered some more parts and will have another set of boards ready in another week or so (or two weeks if anything I’ve ordered is delayed).

Some people have actually already got their boards and are now asking for the setup guide. I have the great pleasure to tell you that the wait is now over!

Update: All boards are now sold out. I will not be making any more.

Many, many people have asked me if I sell complete KapteinKUK multi-rotor flight-controllers (the one I use on the Tricopter V2), so far the answer has been no. But this is about to change! I will soon be offering 100% complete and tested KK flight controllers, made with high quality components and a lightweight PCB, programmed for the multi-rotor-type of your choice
(choices are: mono, twin, tri, quad, quadX, hex, hexY) (more…)

I need your help my friends. Every month FPV-Community hosts a video competition. This month the price is a FY21AP System with Return-to-Home, OSD and AP117 GPS. I’ve been planning on getting a similar system for an upcoming project, and this would save me a lot of cash that I can use on the rest of the very complicated and expensive project.

All you have to do is vote for my entry in this thread. Thanks for your help!

Update
I was disqualified from the competition due to making this post. Although no rule prohibits promoting your video. Other participants in previous competitions have promoted their videos on various online forums before without being disqualified, and I feel very unjustly treated.

After my protest, among some others, the moderator decided to close down the competition entirely, instead of having the courage to admit that his decision had been faulty. A very sad story, as I have previously had great trust in him and the forum. This will be a unhappy ending to my connection to that forum.

You can read it all in this thread, if you wish to see how it came to be like this.

A big thank you to all that voted for me, and to those defending me in the thread.

Update 2: Feiyu Tech stepped up and sent me a FY21AP + AP117 OSD!
Thanks Feiyu Tech and Ben Warren for making this happen.

Winter can cruel here in Sweden.


Now I got to wear a cast for at least 4 weeks and then a plastic-support-thingie for another 2 weeks. Which means no flying for a long while 🙁

It’s finally ready! Hydrogen balloons, fireworks and FPV, What more can you ask for in a video?

This has been by far the hardest video that I’ve made so far. So many things that went wrong or simply didn’t work. But I love a challenge. Minus degrees and snow didn’t put me of, those balloons had to be popped. (more…)

Here is a little teaser of what I’ve been working on the last week or so. I think you’ll enjoy it.

The Tricopter V2 build log is now completed!

And since you asked for it, I made PDF templates for the center plates for both the V1/V2 and V1.5. Simply download and print.

Be sure to post pictures if you build one.

Drumroll please…
The winner of the KK flight controller Give Away is…

Mathew Wellington from New Zealand!

Congratulations Mathew! I hope you’ll share some pictures or video of your multi-rotor build.

I like to thank all of you that participated. Every cent donated to this Give Away will go towards making my next FPV video. Stay tuned and I don’t think you will be disappointed.
