June 2016 Flew the Goby 210 at lunch. This was at the Towle Field / Reservation in Carlisle, MA. It’s a secret place (not so secret now) that me and my friend Chris used to fly at. There are all of these birdies that go there to nest, but we…
Drones: Goby 210 practice session
June 2016 You know you hate work, when you leave for 2 hours to go fly 15 batteries. Luckily there’s a flying field right across the street from where I (used to) work. Middlesex RC “owns” the field and they were nice enough to let me fly there. Flying a…
Drones: Tweaker crash trying flip stalls
Who’s stupid enough to practice flip stalls in the fog………….. yeah, that’s me. 🙂 I wonder why I crashed? It wasn’t because I sucked at flying…..well I do, but that’s a different story. I ran out of battery….freaking Turnigys! Needless to say, I switched all my batteries to Tattus or…
Drones: Shendrones Tweaker 4S at Good Harbor Beach
April 2016 Built a Tweaker 4S with 4 inch props. . This was my first time I flew pinching the sticks instead of using thumbs. Rotor Riot had a video and they said that you had better control flying with 2 fingers on a stick vs. 1. I have to…
Drones: Armattan Morphite at Magnolia Field
September 2015 I found this really good flying field about 3 miles from my house. It has about 5 soccer/football fields, and a really great view. In this video, I’m flying an Armattan Morphite “mini” quad. It was my first quad using 4 inch props and has 1800kv motors. Pretty…
Drones: MXP230 on Coffins Beach
I think this was the last run with the MXP230. In August of 2015, I moved to Gloucester, MA and there’s a beach about 1/2 mile from our house. I was flying pretty conservatively because I didn’t know the area, and didn’t know if I’d get in trouble. I’m pretty…
Drones: Trifecta PID tuning run
This was taken in May 2015. It was on a Trifecta tricopter. Pretty shaking by today’s standards, but for the time it was pretty good for a plastic frame. Check out how low I get at 3:33 on the video. Can you tell I love the shadows that tricopters make?
Drones: MXP230 splitting gates and chasing cars
One of the last flights on my MXP230 (rebuilt). This was in July 2015, flying at the Westford Middle School. This was before drone racing was big. I was practicing low level flying and going through real gates.
Drones: XHover MXP230 crash
Here’s a flight that I did in Jan 2015. I was practicing going through “gates” and it didn’t end so well. You can see the damage log at the end of the video.
TBS Discovery: Spokane Washington
I built this TBS discovery in a hotel room during a business trip in September 2013. Thank goodness for Harbor Freight! I was soldering the ESCs to the motors in the bathroom with the blowdryer and shower on so I didn’t set off the smoke alarm. 🙂 Here are…
