(640x480 96K) (500x375 25K) Bill Clawson writing meeting notes on his laptop at a GizmoCopter work session at Nate's place. (July 2001)

(640x480 102K) (500x375 28K) Dave Masten holds the GizmoCopter airframe. (July 2001)

(640x480 119K) (500x375 28K) A close-up of the airframe, and one set of motor, gearbox and propeller. (July 2001)

[picture]
(640x480 145K) (500x375 42K) Nate Dietrich is standing working at the workbench while Ian Kluft is sitting writing Linux driver code. (For anyone reading the back of Ian's shirt suspiciously, it says, "There's nothing wrong with Windows 2000 that Linux can't fix." (July 2001)

(640x480 119K) (500x375 33K) Nate re-assembles the PC/104 board stack at the workbench. (July 2001)

[picture]
(640x480 125K) (500x375 38K) GizmoCopter is sitting upside-down on the floor so that it won't be resting on the motor wiring while the landing gear are being rebuilt. Some parts are in a bag in carried in the central electronics area, since this picture was taken just as GizmoCopter had been transported to a work session from Dave's place where he was working on it. (July 2001)

(640x480 167K) (500x375 49K) A view of the MZ104 stack, GizmoCopter's flight computer. (July 2001)

(640x480 159K) (500x375 46K) Another view of the flight computer. (July 2001)

(480x640 132K) (500x667 60K) Gizmocopter's 2-axis magnetometer (electronic compass). (July 2001)

(640x480 134K) (500x375 37K) Though we prefer to credit all our participants for their help, the cat has attended nearly all the meetings and done nothing but lounge around. (July 2001)

(1152x864 213K) (500x375 25K) Ian holds GizmoCopter for Bill's Camera while Nate snaps a picture from the side by surprise. Sarija watches the photography session from the couch. (July 2001)

(1152x864 230K) (500x375 25K) Ian shows off GizmoCopter's new propellers. (July 2001)

(864x1152 97K) (500x667 42K) Ian shows off GizmoCopter's new propellers. (July 2001)

(1152x864 349K) (500x375 35K) GizmoCopter's electronics stack. (July 2001)

(1152x864 300K) (500x375 35K) GizmoCopter and its new propellers... Now it looks mean just sitting on the ground! (July 2001)
