AUTO and RTL is all OK.

Flew my first auto mission perfectly this morning in 15kt winds.

The Finwing Penguin is the best plane I have ever flown - flew on rails in a strong wind

Success on my first APM flight.  The Penguin as usual flew like it was on rails.

Tested manual and stabilise mode which both worked perfectly.

Tested the mavlink and ground station - all worked OK

Analysing the logs now to make sure there are no nasties hidden before I try an automatic flight.

Hey Nick and James,

You both should have an invite in your mailbox for the group. If anyone else wants to participate let me know.

Good to catch up and meet everyone. Will cu on the group forum soon. And for the next meet in 2 weeks!

JB

That sounds good John. Sorry I didn't know you were away again. We will definitely leave a chair for you on the WA UAV roundtable! Part timers are always welcome too. I'll keep my Sundays open as best I can for when you get back. I'll also send you an invite to our new forum etc.

C U there!

Hi there JB.

Mate, I would love to attend. Unfortunately I'll be offshore until at least the 27th.

I know that due to my work commitments I can't fully commit to the OBC but I will help out in any way that I can. I would love to see a WA group succeed so PLEASE keep me in the loop.

I look forward to catching up with all of you boys when I get the chance.

Hey John,

Were you interested in coming to the meet about the OBC as well on Sunday?

Anyone else otherwise?...Would be good to catch up with everyone in the area with the same interests. Coming to the meet isn't committing to the OBC btw!

Cya soon

Regards

JB

Hai yeah I know...it's still along way to go. I'd rather rush into it now rather than stress to meet a deadline later! but we still have plenty of time. I'd like to actually "practice" searching for Joe long before we actually have to. I plan on including most of my family, my boys are already involved in RC etc. But time management and planning is key. No good if we go broke or damage a relationship in the course of pursueing the OBC. There's no fun in that! 

Stephen you have mail!

@JB nice! just remember the OBC isn't a 100m sprint it's more like an Ironman triathlon!

We need to train hard and pace ourselves.

Don't forget we have families and jobs that will demand our time.
