Skywalker 1900 - Cyclops Tornado testing in sunset
So I bought a Cyclops Tornado OSD + FC to replace the crappy Turnigy T1000FC that never worked properly... here's a trim flight and testing a couple of flight modes (mainly PA and RTH). The OSD + FC worked well considering the winds were at least 15mph as you can see from the downwind legs - groundspeed increased dramatically :)
More testing to follow, but happy so far - also, who doesn't love a fancy schmancy sunset??
Flown Part FPV, part LoS.
Music by KOANsound - epic track, "View from Above".

Just a quick short test of the Skywalker in 15mph winds - no problem at all, just the speed was not working on the OSD. Neither airspeed or groundspeed - odd.
