I've not long had my hands on this drone long and had the opportunity to chase some bikes recently. As this needed to be somewhat filmic I decided to see how an attitude mode flight would work out so that I could also direct the gimbal with a spare finger. harder than it seems adding that into the equation but I'm quite pleased with the results. manual mode next so I can stretch this things legs... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7zhM7Nwx9U

So many things to work on, so little time. There is no magic button on the road to freestyle glory, you just have to keep going, battery after battery after battery. Although i still have such a long way to go, i'm loving every second! I hope you do, with your own flying too :)
Huge thanks to my sponsor F1PVtech.com for the awesome HD camera mounts i love! Go buy one right this second!!

Well they've finally arrived! This is now a near perfect transmitter for the money!
One final step i forgot to mention, please don't forget to calibrate the new sticks once they are installed! Sub menu, last page, just enter calibration and follow the onscreen instructions.

Well this is one little gem of a spot! No one around and no wind, i had to do it! Before it hits the comments, yes i know the best bit about this spot is the building behind me, but this was my first flight here and i really needed to have my high gain patch antenna with all these brick walls around! Don't worry, ill be back :)

So today i set: pid_process_denom = 1 to run my multishot little bee 20A ESC's to run at 4000hz and yet again i felt the difference. It sounds and feels as smooth as butter!
I also started experimenting with powerloop-combos:
Powerloop, roll, exit loop
Powerloop, backflip, exit loop
Double peek-a-boo (these still scare me lol)
Half backflip, 360 roll, half backflip exit.

Today i had a huge nostalgia trip back to my old hometown, and the flying field where my obsession with RC began in the early 80's.
I wasn't sure what to expect with the Diatone GT2-200 and decided to bring my trusty QAV-R along just in case it didn't perform that well..
How wrong i was! The GT2 pretune from the factory was actually pretty good, if anything a little over tuned, and needed the P's dialling back a little. I still need another session to get the tune where i want it but this PNP quad is not only a solid performer, i actually will go as far to say, i'm going to fly it as one of my main quads! Great job Diatone! Ill talk more about the pros and cons in the part 2 review. One more thing.. nothing is sped up, this quad is FAST, and i haven't even started to test its limits on speed.

So here is a quick look at my Taranis and the upgrades i've installed on it over the last 8 or so months of owning it. Not only is this one super flexible radio on the programming side, but its also a delight to work on in the hardware department. I hope that this will give you the confidence to upgrade any of the things i mention here if you feel like giving it a go!
