New Pictures - Duthie Park
Monday 10th June 2013
With this fine weather am on a roll! These were taken over the Duthie Park in Aberdeen but didn't really spend as long as I wanted and therefore didn't have that many pictures. However am planning on going back in the very near furture to get some more pictures as well as videos of the new restoration that is being paid by Aberdeen city council and the National Lottery Heritage fund.

Aerial Pictures of Aberdeen BeachAberdeen Beach - Friday 7th June 2013
With the perfect weather we've been getting lately I couldn't resist stopping so I could catch the first pictures using my new aerial platform and I think you all will agree they look pretty damn good! Still not perfect but not bad for still getting using to this camera jargon such as Aperture, Shutter Speeds and ISO.......Getting there.

Aerial Picture of Aberdeen BeachAberdeen Beach - Friday 25th May 2012
Weather like this couldn't of came at a better time, just finished building my new aerial filming platform the night before so after a quick program it was time to attached the camera gimbal and see what she could do. After a few small teething problems i managed to get it to fly kind of how I wanted it, still need some work before taking video but I think the pictures speak for them selfs. This new machine is by far the most stable multi-rotor I have ever built and can't wait for the GPS add on to arrive. Click Here To All The Photos

Westfield Park - Sunday 16th October 2011
Really a day to forget, started off flying the Trex 450Pro but totally lost orientation while showing off to my folks & the girlfriend. Short story it hit a tree but it landed on the skids so only the main gear and flybar to replace.
Second flight was with the Tricopter again LOS due to my fatsharks being flat, GoPro was set to take pictures only but again it ended in the dirt after 4 mins of flight. Left arm Deans connector spring failed causing a loose connection, started leaning left then the motor kicked back in and flipped before I could save it. Right motor ripped off and rear arm snapped but had already started V3 anyway so all not lost :-).

Aberdeen Harbour From Pocra QuayPocra Quay Aberdeen Harbour - Sunday 4th September 2011
Blue skies and no wind in Aberdeen? Couldn't be, surely not? Yup it really was and I wasn't going to miss a chance to have a small flight and test my new GoPro. All LOS as was testing out a new yaw mechanism and the GoPro vibration mount I made. Recorded a video but really wanted to test the picture quality and tbh was a LOT better than I thought it would be.
