"Ryan, at this high speed, we will need a high refresh rate for the GPS and with a high amount of locked signals for safety reason alone and accuracy. I don't even want to figure out how to program for it. An awesome find that's for sure."

"Johnathan,
I think you'll be happy with your choice it's a good TX. The PT-40 was my first plane 20 years ago! I still have it, though it's gone through a few modifications in the past 5 years. I put a set of floats on it about 5…"

I went to the store today and got me a nice controller. So now, my feet are totally wet. I'm in it for the long haul now.Man, never knew that building a PT40 Trainer Kit is so tough and time consuming, I'm no where close to finishing it. It's getting late, nearly 4am here. I best be going to bed soon. I will be sharing my pictures and then after the maiden flight - I hope to add the ArduPilot into the plane soon.:D I'm off to sleep.See More
Jonathan Myers replied to John Moses Browning's discussion Drone questions"Well, I'm new around here but I think I can answer most of the questions that you have. I'm sure more of the veterans will be chiming in.
Theoretically, you could do a 3G Device or even better an EVDO device (basically US is entirely EVDO…"
Jonathan Myers commented on Tim Trueman's blog post Call for podcast guest suggestions (numero dos)"Chris, I suppose you could try YouTube and I could use the "Auto Transcribe" - it's pudgy at its best but it's something.
Regardless, I look forward to see what the interview will be like and all that :D I love this community."
Jonathan Myers commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post BaioJet Kolibri the next frame for Ardupilot Mega Test ;) (FOXTEAM)"Chris, thanks for sharing that. Alright I think 50Hz is plenty fast still, even at near 200 MPH.
Robero, that probably would be safe :D The last thing we want to have is an UAV flying at 200MPH struggling to keep its course."
Jonathan Myers commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post BaioJet Kolibri the next frame for Ardupilot Mega Test ;) (FOXTEAM)"Correction, 500Hz or 1Khz (not 1Hz)"
Jonathan Myers commented on Roberto Navoni's blog post BaioJet Kolibri the next frame for Ardupilot Mega Test ;) (FOXTEAM)"That's one fast little bugger.
Chris - wouldn't the hardware be capable of polling at a higher rate of say, 500Hz or even 1Hz however if the software is capable of running that fast or not is another matter."
Jonathan Myers commented on Tim Trueman's blog post Call for podcast guest suggestions (numero dos)"As seeing that I'm deaf myself, perhaps it would be great that the podcast could be transcribed if it's not a bother.
And I'm fairly new around here, I'll just sit around and stifle through the threads :D A great site by the way."

"Mark,
One charge is possible, he's just powering the flight gear AP etc. The motive power he states will be 25-50cc engine. Something like this can recharge the batteries indefinitely.
Jonathan,
Good luck, Aim high and think big!! Keep us…"

Jonathan Myers replied to Jonathan Myers's discussion Compulsory Self-Introduction"Yeah, my inspirational is derived from this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insitu_Aerosonde, the UAV Aerosonde "Laima" which flew for 2031 miles across the Atlantic Ocean on approximately 1.5 gallon of fuel.
Thanks Mark - I'll look…"

"i would start with FAA's COA as they will be the longest hurdle to overcome. But 3000 miles on a single tank?"

Guys,I have been taking an interest in several crazy concepts and would like to see them come to fruition - what a better way to do this than to join DIYDrones?I will be working on learning the basics of RC Flying - as experience goes, I have none.When I have acquired the basics and good understanding of the flight dynamics of a such smaller craft - it's not exactly the same as bigger and heavier real planes but comparable to an extent. Then, I will be working on constructing an UAV from…See More
