A light weight FPV capable platform was the goal here.

Current version weighs in at 220 grams.

This is a photo from the build log of the Yaw servo mechanism.  It is an HXT500. Cheap and simple.

The pig is awesome. I did your hack for the HK board the other day. Working on a camera gimbal stabilization thing. Thanks!

Good luck with it, if you get stuck the OpenAero project has some code that does that and would be fairly portable.
