Aeroquad at New York Maker Faire

Hello people

I went to the New York Maker Faire this weekend for the Aeroquad group. 

For those who don't know, Aeroquad is an open source group oriented on Multi-Rotor development, so we do our board design, software, frame and so on. Since we are on the internet, people working on it or building those Multi-Rotor are spreaded all around the world. That make already about 3 year that we know each other me and Ted, the guy that started this, but, only the second time that we meet each other. I've went there with my car for the event from Quebec/Canada that is about 7h for just going. Ted is based into California.

This was a really big event and we have been real busy. We did not even had the chance to eat all day, giving some flight demo, answering many question and explaining how it work, what it can do or can't do.

Here is a little quick FPV video I did on Friday, when there was no people. It was a quick setup on my big Y6, so I have some jello! I did not have done any FPV on the event nor let anyone fly our craft for security reason. 

It was really fun to hear the crowds, mostly kids when I was flying it away full throttle. It was also really scary cause some kids just run to try to catch the craft sometime... It was also weird to me when I was landing to get some applaud for just some hovering in front of people!

Overall, a really great time and fun.

It was quite crowded a some time 

And here is me giving a flight demo on my big Y6. Pretty sure that at some point, I was in front of something like 100 persons.
