Hello people

 

                    I need a bit of help......i am not technically minded, but i am patient and good at building model planes.

I am very interested in the FULL ARDU PILOT MEGA 1 KIT.  i have spoken to the ardu people, but i think i am asking the wrong questions.

    The plane i am building at the moment is not built for speed ,but for endurance....it has a 100" wing span and the os 91 engine has been converted to unleaded gas, (spark plug, halle effect timing etc).

    It also has a sullivan genesys system for on board continuous power to recharge the batteries.

 Along the length of the wingspan , there are 19 seperate fuel tanks ,,and i figure that the plane can do about 800 miles.

QUESTION......will the mega 1 kit allow the plane to fly all on its own from a waypoint in scotland uk.....down to a waypoint on the south coast of england uk...........could it then be taken control of, by another hand unit and landed.

QUESTION.....is there a system where the whole trip can be flown by joystick and laptop...

 

Hope the question can be answered

                                                            thanks Jim
