More fun on the Island before the big move south. First batch of the new frame being cut soon.

I was having one hell of a time with the Helio locking out/desyncing the other day. Turns out I'm not the only one having issues with the Helio/Typhoon2 combo. OrneryD suggested that I try flipping the FC over to help protect the sensitive hardware from the noisy escs, and it worked! This thing feels pretty great, another session or so and I should have it locked in. Very encouraging day.
