Wow, that is beautiful looking frame.
I do have a recommendation for the video. You can make it much more exciting by using the Mikrokopter to push around that vase of flowers on the coffee table. Can you show that in the next video, please?

Nicoleto,
How was the delivery and experience regarding lipoly.de ? On time, etc. ? I've read about complaints. You noted you got the board pre-made. Was that the board-only or the populated one?

The UAVP firmware has been updated by Prof Greg Egan and is now know as the UAVX. It now has GPS position hold and return to home capability. The consortium of developers are continually adding new features. Here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1093510

I can Whole Heartedly recommend the Mikrokopter over the UAVP! I have had 2 UAVP's and neither came close to the stability and ease of flight as the MK. You can see my UAVP FPV video here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqD_6An4qiE
Don't get me wrong, it works and can be made bigger then the MK because it uses standard speed controls, and it's alot cheaper 
However, the MK is a whole different beast! Allowing for extreme flight performance! like this:

I am hoping the new UAVX upgrade will bring the UAVP up to the performance of the MK, but we'll see.
MK all the way!!!

I am also an MK owner since v1.0 to v1.3 and NAVI/GPS. You will be happy to know that the UAVX flies just as stable. It now includes a groundstation and waypoint navigation. See the links I posted above for the recent developments

Jim
