Well my mini quad's diet has worked, its now a whole 574g without the battery. Missed my chance to go flying this morning, now it's too hot so I'll leave it till tomorrow morning.
Another plus is in my clean up looking for the IXUS 115HS I also found an old canon A550, which also can run the CHDK. Well that took about 15 mins and it's done, so now I have two cameras to play with for aerial mapping. Good news is that this one takes AA so I can play with the CHDK without draining the other batteries in the IXUS 115. Got confirmation my charger has shipped so should be here on Monday or Tuesday

I plan to work out a mount point on the Tricopter for the stabilised gimbal. Damn it does a good job of holding position, cant wait to get it mounted and try it out. Unlikely to be this week at this rate but next week I think I'll be ready to take some stabilised footage

Thanks Steve, I now also plan to build a thrust meter next week......
I'm thinking of building a home made prop balancer? Has anyone built one, got some good plans to point me at?
