I have been pretty busy and have not had much time to work on my quad-copter. Since my last post, I have made a few more test flights and now have wireless avionics via XBee modems working.
My next goal is to upgrade the frame (ideas), attach video for FPV (GoPro HD) and integrate GPS (Google maps way-point control).

A professional photographer takes pictures of water, drops, rain, etc, and focuses them just so that they are have *stunning* results!
This is a great tutorial for any independent photographers. This greenscreen uses pvc piping that will only cost you $16. I found this tutorial earlier and it is awesome. There are also some great greenscreening tutorials in Adobe Photoshop on this site. I have to do some mugshots (j/k) for one of my clients websites coming up, I think I will be visiting Lowe’s soon.
Pretty cool. I tried this, but it didn’t work too well. These guys must have LOTS of time. I mean, getting the contrast, and color just right. Tough.
