Default RE: Turnigy H.A.L. (Heavy Aerial Lift)

I tested the NAZA-fied H.A.L. in 20mph winds about 150' up. At first I was quite nervous but I rapidly gained confidence when I saw how well it performed. In fact, I could say that the strong wind had little effect on my flight other than a louder noise of the props beating against the air.

I did discover that my free-standing gimbal gets blown to the side when the wind is strong enough. I had a chance to test out my FlyCamOne Camera tilt modification and it worked great! Eventually, I will upgrade both my camera and gimbal. I would like to use the NAZA 2-axis gimbal stabilization that is built-in to the FC.

I'll post a video of the flight soon. My pocket DVR hasn't arrived yet so I couldn't record the OSD information but we did have a ground camera so we'll see the perspective from both ends.
