One of my first flight tests with the amazing OpenPilot CopterControl board mounted on my new super kool VC-450 (Digital Camo) frame from
Hoverthings.com. The CC board offers very accurate flying characteristics and confidence inspiring stability. The frame is as tough as nails and perfect for FPV. Just need to tune it a little more for silky smooth flight.
