Well I've been waiting for some wind to try the Octo on the PIDs we ended up with after the test flights. Blowing 20mph gusting 31mph and I almost bottled it. But was egged on and very happy with the results. Brilliant in flight even though the gimbal had trouble keeping up. The MKS servo on roll axis was really good. The DS610 on tilt showed off the backlash and ultimately lets the video down, you can see up down movement as the servo tries to hold the tilt steady. GPS hold had a hard time but kept it within 10 meters.

Very impressed with that, perhaps something a tad better than 610s next time eh ? Or you happy with that ?Trex 450 SEV2.
Trex 450 SEV2, hack, freeby, but getting expensive. Binned the bu**er !

Brains and thumbs work okay, but not at the same time.
