Hi everyone,My name is Nickolas, and I'm new here. We are starting a new Unmanned vehicle systems course here at EMU, and I plan to do my senior/honors thesis project on the topic of UAVs. We are…Continue

Nickolas Myers replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"I can't really see how to get one motor in, nevermind 2 or 3. Did you cut a hole in the bottom, or something?"
Jeff Taylor replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"If this is for the students (most of which are probably not experienced with R/C or UAS) I think you better pick a slower and easier to fly airframe. The reaper looks nice but from what I hear it is prone to stalling in the hands of a beginner.…"
Vernon Barry replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"Right, but if you use the counter-rotating motor, then you need a lefthand and right hand prop, and also,HK is backordered, so I was going to go over to my local hobby shop and get several props of difference pitch, measure amp draw and thrust and…"
Nickolas Myers replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"What about this prop? It's what others have used with this model:

And then there is something called a '4s' or something like that, which I…"
Nickolas Myers replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"Are you absolutely sure this contra rotating motor will fit? The diameter of the motor is 3mm larger than the maximum on the spec..."
Vernon Barry replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"Yes, right. You can easily use the DX7, I use the DX8 (not because I need it today but it never hurts to go a little better). Default config you need 5 channels, 6 and 7 give you pan and tilt for a camera or other features. 8 is just for fun stuff."
Vernon Barry replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"I cannot recommend a novice setting up a gas/glow plane with the APM system today. There are some bugs regarding some configs and unless you had serious RC experience previously, not the place to start. Sorry.
We do not have collision avoidance code…"
Vernon Barry replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"Yes, all the telemetry kits are 2 way, both the new radios or Xbees, but the new radios have higher bandwith and work MUCH better. I have both and have done the die by side. The new ones are half the cost and work better.
Also, I know today the…"
Nickolas Myers replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"I just realized that none of this includes the manual controller for RC flight, and the stuff with it. Is the Spektrum DX7s 7 CH Transmitter with AR8000 all that I will need?"
Nickolas Myers replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"So, is the 3dr telemetry kit 2 way?
I'm getting most of what you said to get from DIY from udrones and I'm using V1 rather than V2 because of stock and compatibility with the ground…"
Nickolas Myers replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"Is this a good choice for the ESCs?

Robert replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"hi,
I am interested in doing a similar project. however I want to use the Hangar 9 or the nextstar select ARF trainer, both are gas engines. I want to use the udrones, arduautopilot with sonar/collision avoidance sensor, altitude sensor, gps…"
Vernon Barry replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"You are correct, but Hobby King is out of good matching sized props, and 3DR doesn't sell them. The 2 blades will work until I can tell you what is the actual tested best prop combo. Point beingm, thse are a close enough match to fly well and…"
Nickolas Myers replied to Nickolas Myers's discussion What to get?"All of the pictures I've seen have a 3 blade prop. "
