Alan commented on Bryan Cuervo's blog post Mega Easy Glider Mod for Ardupilot 2.2"That looks really nice man! have you got any pics of the inside? How difficult was it to work out the angle for the inverted v tail? Are you currently running an autopilot or just rc?"
spencerkleinhans commented on Bryan Cuervo's blog post Mega Easy Glider Mod for Ardupilot 2.2"flaps... thing thing slows to a crawl!! i would say stall speed is about 6-7 mph.

spencerkleinhans commented on Bryan Cuervo's blog post Mega Easy Glider Mod for Ardupilot 2.2"i figured i could post a few pictures of mine, its flying for over 90 mins. i have yet to invest in some fpv gear, but i should have it fpv by the next couple of months.

spencerkleinhans commented on Bryan Cuervo's blog post Mega Easy Glider Mod for Ardupilot 2.2"i know im un-burying a really old thread, but i just finished some flight testing on my very similar model. the only difference is i glued my booms into the wing (on top) just forward of the flaps i installed, which are quite large. i have a flying…"
Bryan Cuervo commented on Pete Hollands's blog post MatrixPilot 3.1 Released"Pete,
Thanks for representing "MatrixPilot" with a systems architecture schematic. With the phenomenal growth of this autopilot, it's hard to keep up. The schematic helps me get a grip on the big picture.

would you mind telling me how you set up your decalage? im trying a similar mod, and constructing my own tail...
thanks!"
Bryan Cuervo commented on Jesse's blog post A simple INS - the beginnings"Jesse,
I've been playing around with an Arduino uno, sensors and geared DC motors to create an inverted pendulum. I just looked at your web page and your basic information on attitude sensor reading/conversion will be a big help.…"
Bryan Cuervo commented on Thomas J Coyle III's blog post AMA Member versus R/C Beginner"That was hillarious TCIII.
Reminds of the time we were slope soaring off the beach dunes in Florida and a man came up and asked us if his 10 year old son could take a turn at it.

Bryan Cuervo commented on Pete Hollands's blog post Testing a DIYDrones magnetometer in HK's GCS"Well,
I just tried running the same test again and I couldn't get the serial connection. I had to go into the Vista device manager and disable/enable the com port and that did the trick."
Bryan Cuervo commented on Pete Hollands's blog post Testing a DIYDrones magnetometer in HK's GCS"Hi pixhawk,
I was using COM port 9 on my Vista laptop and getting data on the debug console window.
I just tried it again and it's working. My only guess is I was doing the wrong sequence of operations?
It didn't work on my first three…"

I just ran qgrouncontrol on my desktop running XP and it worked. Mystery solved....

Pushing the UAV DevBoard to the limits
Posted on November 18, 2009 at 6:06pm 9 Comments 0 Likes
Tailless & Wingletless from Bryan Cuervo on Vimeo.
In one more attempt to test the abilities and push the limits of Bill's UAV DevBoard, I removed the winglets from my tailless design so now there are no horizontal or vertical stabilizers.The video is in three segments; the first showing manual flight with stabilization disengaged. You can see the… Continue

Continue Flight tests with the UAV DevBoard

After my last UAV project went up in flames (literally!) I’ve shifted gears and designed a dedicated autopilot (AP) test vehicle. She is a tailless plane with removable wings for transportation and has plenty of room in the fuselage with easy access.
For the autopilot, I’m using Bill’s UAV DevBoard with a modified AileronAssist code for handling the elevons. This modification is a work in… Continue

Flight Tests With the EG 2.2
Posted on July 14, 2009 at 4:02am 31 Comments 0 Likes
I’ve started flight tests with the latest Ardupilot code and hardware and will post my findings in this blog post. Info on my plane and set up can be found HERE. I’ve found the EG 2.2 has similar flight characteristics to the original EasyGlider including the same “reverse roll” and “reverse pitch” settings in the code so these results should help anyone flying the stock glider.

Ardupilot Success Stories
Posted on June 30, 2009 at 6:30pm 11 Comments 0 Likes
At this point, the only way to get my plane flying with Ardupilot is to buy a different FTDI cable which may or may not work with my setup(I don’t have the programming skills to bypass the configuration utility and add waypoints directly into the code). I’m running Windows Vista on my laptop and have the latest Ardupilot board with the shield kit as shown below. I’ve also installed the latest code, configuration utility and the newest version of the Arduino IDE.

David Low said… - Hi Bryan,
The official released 2.2.3 doesn't work for me too.
And currently I am using the "I_Can_Fly" version uploaded by Jordi.
I make no changes on the source code except the "easystar.h" to change the gps protocol to EM406 and invert my roll and pitch
Cheers~

- Hi Bryan,
I'm a student doing some research for UAVs at Berkeley and I was wondering what type of material you used and how does your removable wings work... It would be great if you can let me know how.
