Gunn-Kraft X1 project video
Today hits the 10th day mark of actually building the X1! And I have created a quick montage of what been going on the last 10 days.I have to say Jesse has kept me going with project as soon after breakfast he would say let’s go to work c’mon! And we work for hours he solder all the wiring 80-90% of it. And built everything equally with me. He can rebuild the X1 all by himself now if he had to. X1 so far has met or exceed the expectation of phase 1 so far. The only thing [...]
8 year old builds a UAV! Mar’s or Bust!
It all started this last summer... The video The previous post about this.. http://www.tommy-gunn.com/yes-or-no/ Me and my 8 year old son Jesse making the X-1 After watching the mars landing he asked me if we could make something like the "Mars curiosity" also... I thought about it for a second ...Then I said sure why not! Even tho I did not have NASA's billion dollar budget. Who am I to tell an 8 year old you can't do something because it's too hard!

The last days of summer…
I Spent the last days of summer in the UK Jesse has got much better at flying now and I wanted to capture the nice landscape over there. Even though it was windy we still flew and we were playing with some new setting on our flight controller we did not get it as smooth as we wanted but it is still nice! The video is about 5 mins long yes I could have made it shorter but I like this song it really captures the feeling. Hey just pretend it's a MTV video! What no jokes today! [...]
End servo wire confusion!
I don't know about you guys but.. Everything around me can be very messy. But when it comes to my electronic parts I like to keep everything neat and tidy.

And if you try and put them on the Plug It is way too [...]

But captured by scanning very rapidly ether up and down or left to right. ok now remember [...]

I was thinking about the flitetest planes, and foam boards and how could I make a quadcopter with foam board I tried a bunch of ideas in my head doing A/style B/style folds [...]
