Ground Effect Visualization

Terry Dunn demonstrates the "ground effect" phenomenon as his quad copter hovers just inches above the floor.

Perfect video demonstrating ground effect. So much easier to visualize and appreciate with a "hovering" example as opposed to something with significant forward speed such as a "fixed wing". Thank you for publishing.

Thanks PV Moore! We were happy to do it!

Can you please tell how much is the throttle at ground effect.. and the weight of the quadcopter..

[@sr71afan]

Judging from the transmitter stick position, I would guess around 50% throttle. Don't know the weight; as that was more than 2 years ago.
