New test of camera and OSD.


After having asked for advice on Rangevideo's forum, I've set camera settings back to default, and then sat the camera like Vova REZNIK's camera on his video on Vimeo.

I have also disable thermopil sensors.


I tested the aircraft at the weekend.

Everything went fine, the picture was much better, but had the slightest hint of blue when I flew toward the mountains as the sun is behind. The sun is so low now on the days that we do not see it in Håkvik longer.


I tested the autopilot too, this almost crashed the plane. The plane turned upside down, and went vertically down. Fortunately I got off this quickly.

This should not be tested again before I have Z-sensor in place.

The first test flight with RVOSD og DX-201.

The first test flight with RVOSD and DX-201. The screen was blue and with poor resolution. Must find out what makes this. It was not so during testing at home before and after.


Flight went very well, the 2 engines provide tremendous driving force to the plane.

I should change to smaller propeller as soon as I get them. The engines drew 80 amps at most, it was at take off.

I've also have to do more settings on RVOSD.

I had the wrong settings on the IR sensors, so that the artificial horizon showed all the reverse. That I did not notice until I got home, so it was very good that the autopilot had not been enabled, it had gone very wrong.
