Long time since I've posted anything on this topic. Phase two of onboard integration of copter is complete. Had first flight flight with MkII electronics today.
1hr flight XL Quad with DIY brushless gimbal + Linux FC [RCI sweepstakes entry]
Phase I was flying with just APM 2.5 to test out frame, motors, etc. Phase II was integrating most of the new electronics (listed below) and flight testing again. Phase III will be integration of stereo head on front of quad to facilitate SLAM.
