The Art of Consistency

From our flights on 9-7-12 I copied out the Lat and Long values for two way point flights that only differed in their altitudes.  One was at 60 meters and the other at 30 m.  They look very close.

We also did a Point Of Interest (POI).  Here is it's flight path.  Not bad for a first attempt.

Black Box: GPX -Viewer

Using the GPX-Viewer we are able to see the actual flight taken by the copter.  This was a transect we threw together while out flying today.  

Another feature of this program allows you see how things vary as one scrolls through the flight path.  This should help us identify why problems are occurring.

I could see the copter's position varied about +/-1 m.  Interestingly, the ground speed fluctuated predicatively with position in the path.  Before the corners and traversing to the next transect the copter slows then in the straight legs the copter picks up speed.  This is something we see in the number of redundant images being taken at the "turn arounds".
