FW: Aerial video

[William Fenn]

Alex,

 

Good video.  You need to write an article for the AMRAD newsletter describing what you did, the problems experienced and ideas on how to improve the video.

 

How much did the Syma X5C cost?  It appears to be a fun device that could be used for many things.  It would be interesting to see if it could lift the center of a dipole (along with xmission line) and if a contact could be made.

What a great multi media pun "Aerial video".

I visited Woodbridge Wireless' FD site.  In part I wanted to see what the RF would do to my cheap Syma X5C quad copter.  About half way through the video the flying critter starts drifting to the right, then you see the sky and then the grass.  It happened twice and I believe it was when someone keyed up for the contest.  

WWI was using Mesh networking on their WiFi boxes.   I put the idea forward of flying a router for longer range HSMM.  I could experience "hobby convergence"  and achieve unspeakable joy.  Maybe I'm too old for that...
