Maiden Flight

Michael — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:26:08 +0000

Today my EasyStar completed the maiden flight.
Weather was nice, not to cold but wind could be less. With nose in the wind and motor off it was sometimes possible to stand in the air.

The flight was a non-FPV, even without any FPV equipment.

DIY Antenna Tracker finished

I mostly finished my FPV antenna tracker. The mechanic part and basic control electronic are working fine now.

At least the aircraft is ready to fly and waits for a maiden flight.

Still some work needs to be done for the FPV equipment, especially the antenna tracker on ground is not finished yet.
