While doing my test flights in a nearby park, there have been no end of curious passers by. Some stand and watch, others look at the landing. Kids have been very enthusiastic.
Met a delightful chap and his son from New Zealand. Roger has recently taken up this hobby with some friends. He presently flies a ParkZone Super Cub LP and is looking to upgrade, perhaps to a glider like my Radian test platform. We had a short flight and I demo'd the Co-pilot stabilization - great for windy days. Takes all the "stress" out if it, I mentioned. His son saw the whole system with the Ground Station and auto-pilot.
TODO:
- use Arduino "map" function to provide values for K1 feedback gain on AP
- analyze flight data from Friday. was there too much wind for AP
- try co-pilot on my SuperCub. prep for next DIYdrones competition
- add attitude info from sampleGPS to Groundstation
