Any QAV500 fliers on here?

If you want a pair of these bumpers let me know and I'll print a pair out for you

Yeah I don't know exactly what the odds are... Never was great at statistics lol. 50/50 chance on 4 motors - so I believe 0.5^4 which iiiiiis 0.0625 or 6.25% chance that all 4 will be correct first time.

Ney bad if so ;)

I just finished installing everything, now waiting for the rain to go :(

Suns out and I did my first 4 flights - beautifully smooth. Love it!

Naza gets angry in the descent sometimes, need to see if I can tune that out

Here she is hovering herself infront of my kit lol...

Great flying bird and video is smooth, Love it!

Thanks man, that's a really kind offer, but I shall probably just cobble something together this evening. 

Just been out with mine again.  A stiff breeze, some 15mph or so and it handled it pretty well.  I feel as though this is one area where using high kv motors and smaller, faster props seems to come into its own.  Just as well really since it's more or less always windy around here.

Got out again early this morning.  Done a bit more PID tuning and got rid of most of the oscillations I was seeing, also altered the throttle curve to give it more punch just above hover:

QAV500 - Human Fly

I think there's still more to come with the tuning but I love this machine.

here is my soon to be released build log of the QAV400, a quadcopter by fpvmanuals. the build will include the cc3d from openpilot instead of the usual DJI Naza as a flight controller
