| Flew it tonight at the Dome only Mike and me braved the -6 temp.  The Wii system is ultra stable and predictable way better than the Gyro only or KuK system I had on it last week. | |

| Not Tri. related but I have another unit running now (sorry Keith I used my spare WM+) I also have software which will drive servos So cheap Flybarless heli's and aircraft stabilizers are very close. I can see my Sniper 3D foamy becoming a test bed first. When the weather improves anyway | |

| Not a problem Paul, Ive yet to buy what I need to start mine but I'll get around to it eventually.
Any video of the tri yet?
Links to the board would be good as I've looked for the breakout board and all seem to be sold out or discontinued? | |

| Curious do you have the equipment there to build these into one circuit board via the links or is the general consensus to keep them separate? | |

Thanks Paul, I had a look but don't have a clue what it is I'm looking at! Do I need all the bits on Keiths list? it looks very complicated! Do you still have the gyros or does this make them redundant? Cheers MIKE. | |
