I KNOW what you're thinking.. ANOTHER flight controller software?! But wait, i've been asked to try this out for a while, and i finally decided to dust off my Open Pilot Revo FC, load it on and try it out. The verdict? Well lets just say im glad i did. This software now has its own controller, not lux, not rewrite, and its own version of airmode. The stick feel is really special it has to be said. I'll fill you in on the details soon. It's yet another very fast moving beta! In the mean time, i'm just putting it on the radar for you... if its not already :)
Huge thanks to my sponsor http://F1PVtech.com for the awesome HD camera mounts i love! Go buy one right this second!!

A first look at the Diatone GT2 200 PNP quadcopter. It seems like these pre-build's are getting better all the time, and from a company such as Diatone, who have always hovered around the lower middle of the market for quality, this certainly had me raising an eyebrow. I don't want to speak too soon but so far this looks a real cut above what i expected, i'm happy to say.

It was cold, i was shivering, but the location was epic and i was with my buddies Carmofpv, Jon and Stu, so packs had to be ripped. There is only one way to get better at something you want to work on; do it, crash, do it again, and hopefully crash less. Just keep doing it! If you just do what you already know every pack you won't push your boundaries so just be prepared to fail and work on that move until you're no longer thinking about it when you execute it. I dont think i'll ever stop learning, which is fine with me :)

Big thanks to Neil Cody at the excellent http://i-drone.co.uk for sending me out this mini patch for review. Two things worth bearing in mind here; firstly the quad is mostly facing the antennas, this put most of the quad in the way of the VTX antenna as well and up to three trees! . And second, its running at 25mw. All that considered, this is an impressive result in my opinion. It's also worth noting the field of view is actually considerably wider on the invader than the immersion, according to their data sheet though i have yet to confirm that through testing. Set up info below..

So this is the new Tyro model, a 3 inch and hopefully a successor in some way the the popular tyro 99. Let's take a look at this compared to the first one, and see if any, what the improvements are.
