Jeff Smith replied to Pat D's discussion beginner looking for a project"Harry and I could use some help on getting the ArduIMU V3 to function as a simple flight controller. The Tri-copter only uses 3 motors, props, ect so it's not hugely expensive and the ArduIMU is cost effective too.

Pat D replied to Pat D's discussion beginner looking for a project"Thanks for all the reply's I am still looking for the project but it looks like the Traditional Heli might be too big of an ask, unless I can convince the professor of an exploratory project. I really do appreciate your input. Does…"
Pat D replied to Pat D's discussion beginner looking for a project"I think I found a quad platform to start off cheap. I may have to upgrade engines and ESC. I will email you on what ideas you have for the Centeye.

"Yeah... honestly, learning to build and fly a Trad Heli in 4 months... I wouldn't recommend trying. Here are a few cliches about helicopters:
1) Helicopters don't really fly, they just vibrate so badly the ground rejects them.…"

"A couple more things..
I use an original trex450 because I wanted to reduce the possibility of hardware issues because when i started there was no tradheli support. Robert uses a trex600 clone. I suspect a clone is ok…"

"Pat,

Ok I will try that. I was looking though his site and he has some really cool stuff though is company. Optical flow sensors would add a significant wow factor to the project. I am a little concerned about the quads…"

Right now I am just in the exploritory phase. I am not sure what the final project will be focused on. and yes helis are flying with existing tech. however I do want to expand existing tech and functionality of…"
Monroe Lee King Jr. replied to Pat D's discussion beginner looking for a project"I think you should contact Geoffrey Barrows and do a Centeye IMU quad and help out there! :)"
Philippe Petit replied to Pat D's discussion beginner looking for a project"Hi,
sorry I cannot answer any of your questions, however I am curious: What will the objective of your Master Thesis be? I thought that traditional helis are already flying with the apm, are they not?phil"

So I am starting a new school term and I need a project for my Master's class in embedded real-time software systems. I am thinking of trying to convince the doctor to let me do a traditional heli UAV. In order to do this for the cheapest price I was going to try the Trex 450 clone with the Turnigy 9X transmitter and the APM2.
