Finally getting the hang of the Mikrokopter HexaXL

Well, it has been a long and hard road, but after an intensive week of practice and hours of fiddling with MK-Tools and my transmitter settings, it looks like I have started to get the hang of flying the Hexa. This is all thanks to a couple of settings that I managed to get working and gain confidence using, firstly care free and secondly, altitude hold. That isn’t to neglect GPS position hold and come home….

What a machine!
