Yes, he is my friend and my instructor. We fly together from time to time since I live there about half of the year. I will be sure to tell him. When did you train?

Here is a link to the photos of my build…a work in progress. Everyone’s build is unique, but this may be of some help. I have incorporated bits of my ideas, Paul’s, Rob’s, Phil’s and other’s ideas. :blush:

I like the cotter pin…with a keyring through the loop. It is opened slightly and will not come out without a pull. It locks the frame into place…and the outer cage adds extra rigidity. It is just a personal preference.

I hope this helps.

@zjwhitehead, the display is upside down when the controller is in the right hand. Is there a quick fix or do we need to alter the code? If that’s the case will you please send a link to the code?

I’m working on a better long term solution but the best way is to remove the line here

Ignore the comment but that should do it.

Thanks! I’ll comment out that line.

Is this patterned after a certain Arduino board? Just need to know what board to select when I upload the program.

Did you get a chance to look at the Readme on the repo?
