okay, a couple of months have passed, and this time I can say I have actually modified the MultiWii source code to do this.

Hello All, After a lengthy period of trial error, I am finally getting to the point where I should have a workable quad. My current setup is based on a Flip32+ board running Cleanflight with a UBLOX GPS, a Mobius Action Cam on a tilt servo and an R615x RX running CPPM mode. All of the above appears ...
