MTnet Builds Flying Machines: Failure Accomplished

I don't, but I've got stabilization controls for a gimbal within the MPNG firmware... and ports on the Multiwii board. From what I can see, the gimbal motors have their own small esc. Not sure if i'll need more juice or a standalone.... but maybe the MultiWii itself can do it all.
This applies to the MultiWii Pro and MPNG i believe, http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/...ission-planner

Freaking cold again here, so I finished the little vtail. From holding it with a little power in, it's going to be fun/stable. Liking the kk2.0 just from ease/simplicity so far.
Test flight outside after this picture went well. Didn't crash despite some wicked wobble in the wind, so i'll have to work on dialing that out. Managed to pull fully off throttle let it drop a few feet and full throttle it just before ground said hello.
Also need to wait for it to warm up and go outside to take it out of stable mode for actual tuning of it. Did a little work tuning in stable mode, but that is not a real picture of whats going on.
I think I might also extend all the arms on it, just not sure what I'll use wire wise to extend it all... not super excited about making a bunch of bullet connector extensions.

Broke a leg off of the Vtail. Worst part was my video didn't record, so a few minutes of footage and its first real flight (plus big vertical run) wasn't recorded :(.
I'm going to replace the arm and get it back out for more another day. Stupid tree branches and flying in crowded quarters

Looks like the similar motors, I'm running 8x4.5s and a 3s with mine. Going to a bigger frame to see if the can handle it, longer arms out of 3/4 poplar vs the 1/2 before. It'll be heavier/stronger... but it'll be interesting to see if that switch is worth it.
It is peppy considering the extra weight. At least it feels so to me... but i'm new to these things. Video was not full throttle btw.

I'd just ask what I paid, 87 total for both. Board isn't here yet, but should be soon (tracking shows it on US soil).
This board:
2Axis IMP GoPro brushless gimbal with controller - Accessories - RCTimer RC Plane Car MultiRotor APM and MultiWii Carbon Fiber Propeller Hobby Store
This gimbal:
BG20 GoPro Gimbal with Control Board - Gimbal - RCTimer RC Plane Car MultiRotor APM and MultiWii Carbon Fiber Propeller Hobby Store
Note, gimbal apparently doesn't come with that anti vibration mount, just to top of that back aluminum strut where it has 4 threaded holes to mount directly to coptor or a plate of your making.
