Hi CrazyHeliDude,

very nice video and very good channel too!

I have just two questions:

It is a Gaui quadcopter? and do you use an OSD?

[CrazyHeliDude]

@isotopatex - Thank you. It is a Gaui, and I have never as of yet put OSD on this craft.

i work at a hobby store and one of my co-workers just got this and we put it together and we plan on putting a camera on it just like this. its an amazing flyer and your video is awesome!

[CrazyHeliDude]

@geofahm - Thank you :) It's really been a fun project.

I think those are pretty cool..but it takes only 1 motor to act funky and you are heading for the ground...

[CrazyHeliDude]

@3255959 - It's happened... 1 motor, or 1 ESC, or 1 prop.... It's kind of like the potential problems of a heli times 8. Still, it's a lot of fun to mess with these things.

[pilotemtnils]

wish you lived closer, would be great to chat and hang out with fellow quad'ians :)

[CrazyHeliDude]

@pilotemtnils - I'd be all for it :)

[kyuhyong]

Thanks for the great video you share with. It's awesome!

which antenna + camera configuration did you use for real time video transmission?

[CrazyHeliDude]

@kyuhyong - It's a 900 MHz system I got from ReadyMadeRC. I highly recommend his stuff. Very personalized and need-specific service.

@CrazyHeliDude readymaderc is awesome .. he got me 5 miles away and 3500 ft up

[KyDugong]

Thanks, Rob! That was very entertaining.

[CrazyHeliDude]

@KyDugong - And thank you!

[birdmanbl]

Hey Rob. What is the visual like in the actual glasses? Is it stereo vision on do you get one side?

[CrazyHeliDude]

@birdmanbl - I only have one camera so it's only "mono" vision. You can fly from the goggles or use a TV/monitor. The goggles do have a "simulated" 3D effect but I rarely use it and of course it isn't true 3D. NGHobbies however does sell a true stereoscopic camera (two cameras in one) for around $329. If you use a cam like that with the goggles it will be true stereo vision/3D.

[adleraviation]

what is the thing on the tripod at :24?

[CrazyHeliDude]

@adleraviation - It's the antenna, video receiver and battery.

[catfishmudflap]

This is great.

[CrazyHeliDude]

@catfishmudflap - Thanks

[georgewilcken]

Sweet video! What camera were you using to film the flight from the ground with?

[CrazyHeliDude]

@georgewilcken - It's a Sony HD cam.

niiiccceee

[CrazyHeliDude]

@MrFabian0077 - Thanks

[stot2614]

LOL... I loved the part where you "spy" on the guys coming back home and even have one of them mesmerized for a moment! Classic ending with the Scottie checking the quad out! Great job integrating the 2 POV videos. Btw... did you get my pm?

[CrazyHeliDude]

@stot2614 - Lol, yeah he looked at it like it was some kind of UFO or somethin.

[stot2614]

@CrazyHeliDude All I can do is :D! It is a UFO until you can see who's operating it, lol!

[CrazyHeliDude]

@stot2614 - True. He was actually looking over at my gf who was filming it. I was in the apartment flying it. They prolly thought she was the one controlling it somehow.

[SuperMiller1972]

that was extreme

[Jeal918]

Ya same question

[CrazyHeliDude]

@Jeal918 - See my reply to grahamlwilson.

[grahamlwilson]

Thanks, Great video. Is this quadracopter a kit or have you scratch built this aircraft?

[stot2614]

@grahamlwilson This is a Gaui 330XS, but heavily modded.

[CrazyHeliDude]

@grahamlwilson - You can buy it as a kit which is probably easiest. I bought this from a guy on the forums. Took it apart and reinforced some parts while putting it back together. The skid set is also custom but I'll probably change this out in favor a CF strut set for less weight, although I'll have to rework the aerodynamics a bit. It's still waiting for its OSD too.
