not successfully but a first flight "AutoQuacilop"

lets see if this has a future........

Hey, I thought it looked pretty good! The "police" frame is such an odd creature..

How did you mount the FC - Since we dont have provisions for offset FC I am curious to see how AQ performs with the FC mounted off-center. But it seemed to do OK.

Is AQ driving the cam stabilisation or are you using Zaitsevskis method with gyros?

Tera

I mounted the AQ board 8 inches to the rear of center on my octo and in manual flight it was not bad. In altitude hold the altitude control was bad. The altitude would jump 1 to 2 meters when you would stop the copter from a fast forward flight in alt hold mode. Altitude control must be a function of z accelerometer, GPS and barometer .

Last news:
I´ll be stopping this experiment here cause i cant get closer to center with the FC and with PID tuning i am stuck at OK but not good attitude.
There´s no way to get closer to better handling than if i would use a WKM.
Meanwhile!

Maybe some Code-Pro´s come up with a solution to tell the board it´s off-center position.
Until then the frame is waiting patiently in the corner of my workshop.
