It's Over, It's Done!

Now that the genius project is finished I can safely say that.....
I flipping did it! 



That right world, I mastered the fine art of flying really small aircraft really fast. I learned a lot about how to manage weight and wind on these small aircraft which I hope to be able to use on my big quads. Already I found myself being able to take corners much better in my real racing quadcopter. I have found that my propellers bite the wind with such force when I use the coordinated yaw turning skills I developed over the course of my product.

 To be able to record the videos I needed for my presentation, I modified my ev800 goggles with a DVR so I could record my flights and upload them to YouTube. This took a lot of research and planning to be able to do since their is no documentation for the modification. I ended up having to use an oscilloscope to find the video output of the integrated receiver. After I did this, I soldered the input from the DVR to the V-Out on the googles, and after using a multi-meter to find ground and VCC, those were soldered in too.
Look at how clear this video downlink is!
