Sunny Day in Franconia

That's awesome! Are you in control of the camera too... or is it just taking random shots while you fly?

nice solar arrays!

Brilliant. Now all of a sudden, I want a radio controlled helicopter.

Fry3199, GREAT JOB! Love the way u think:) Interestin helicopter. Ur design/construction? Cam rig, too? Tnx for includin pix of the camera rig. Would love to hear details on how electronic shutter triggering is done I kno sum cam models allow computer control (for time-lapse, etc.), so perhaps there's a interface adapter. FYI, my academic backgroud is data acq n control / robotics. Didn't c vid monitor, so guessin u servo the cam angle blind. LOVE, LOVE the shot of u where copter can b seen in window reflection. Awesome:) Cyclin thru shots was interestin for me, but imagine it was even more so for u, since u live in that area.

I c this is ur only posted synth, n from over a month ago. Any planned future shoots?

Well, tnx again for makin the effort n sharin:)

Hi - just found this after I d/l Photosynth & am exploring -
really impressed with the quad-lift helicopter - as we know choppers of all types are basically unstable & want to crash, so your design & manipulation of controls must be ace!
What does it all weigh (how much of that is battery?) & what is its endurance? - pic of yourself & reflected chopper in window is v.good.

Congratulations - Merger
