Hi all,

This weekend we starting tuning Jack's Beaver (our backup airframe) for the
APM. This is now mostly complete. However the Beaver has some trouble
turning left: it will turn right at the correct max roll rate (45 degrees)
but it will only turn left at about half this. We've not been able to
replicate this behaviour in any other airframe (Pulse40, Mugin). The Beaver
works fine in manual mode though. So far, we've not been able to narrow down
the issue.

We also spent some time assisting the Dickson College team with their Hugin
setup and launch mechanism.

In other news:

Tridge and Jack are most likely heading up to Kingaroy a bit earlier (the
Thurs/Fri beforehand) to give us more time to test our equipment. Chris and
myself will most likely be going at the same time too.

Also, I've created a new version of the flight operations manual:
