Flite Fest OH 2018 Jon's Ambition 3d Printed RC Combat Plane. Jon's Ambition plane is designed to have interchangeable 3D printed parts so it can be quickly repaired between combat sessions. We had a lot fun testing it at Flite Fest and the process kept Jon engaged during the event. We had some great family time and enjoyed our time at Flite Fest immensely. We also built an FT22 pusher jet from the Flite Test store and picked up our Founders Speed build kit which I will do a build video on that later. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvmhSicZF_Q

In this video we update the APM Firmware for the Ardupilot Mega 2.6 / HobbyKing HKPilot 2.7 then we connect the GPS Compass module and do a Compass Calibration. After connecting the GPS Compass module I found out that the External Compass Jumper has to be removed for the external compass to work. See Modified Wiring Diagram link below. Next we Setup the 3DR Power Module and Configure Battery Monitoring for Voltage and Current readings on the MinimOSD. We also do the Accelerometer Calibration, Calibrate Auto Level and then do the RC Radio Calibration. We finish by connecting and enabling the Airspeed Sensor. At the end I give a brief update on my two left wings issue.

RunCam sent us a sample Runcam2 (RuncamHD V2 1080p 60fs WiFi) action camera to test and review. This action camera caters to the FPV crowd: - 120 degree field of view - 1080p@60FPS, 1440p@30FPS, 720p@120FPS - lower latency on the analog video feed - removable 850mah battery - image flip - easy to use wiring harness - on-screen settings menu - Android WiFi app for preview and settings - Able to run off a 2,3 or 4 cell LiPo battery - Adapter for using GoPro type mounts - Digital image stabilization - light weight at only 50 grams. - Lens has crash protector Some stuff we didn't like: - No lens cap. - Too wide to fit in Mobius pan/tilt.
