  • I took a look at the PixPilot V3 from MFE Make Fly Easy www.makeflyeasy.com. It's not really a review, just an overview. Installed in the Dancing Wings Hobby balsa 1/2 scale kit.

      @@sfh294 I got mine direct from Dancing Wings, but depending where you are you might find local distributors. The best way to find out is the Dancing Wings Hobby page on Facebook.

      @timtheplaneman will do thanks! I would love to know more about its flight characteristics: stall , vne, flight times payload etc. Looks to fly like a dream. Looks like the perfect Aerial platform for a decent camera and gimbal on the belly

    Hi Tim. Very glad I found your channel.
    I've been wanting to get into the world of autonomous flight using Ardupilot, but have been a little overwhelmed at all the flight controller options out there, especially the ones that require soldering pins onto the board!
    I'm not sure if this is even the right question to ask, but is this flight controller combo pack good for a newbie in this area? I'm a technically minded person (I work in IT as a dev) but I find some electronic system a little confusing sometimes.
    Also, re learning Ardupilot, would you have any recommend resources?
    Thanks and sorry for all the questions. 👍 😊

      I have some videos - start with "3 days of the PixRacer", also check out Painless360 and make sure to read the ArduPilot Wiki ardupilot.org/plane/ - thanks for watching!

    hello can you share the plan of your plane as well as the plans and electronic elements that you used?
    How did you achieve the inlay of the video from your camera and the flight information?
    Thank you for your answers

      The plane is a Dancing Wings Hobby kit. You can buy the kit or ARF on Amazon or at dwhobby.com check out my other RQ-7 videos I have explained the electronics in one of them. The video overlay is goprotelemetryextractor.com
