wayne garris commented on wayne garris's blog post Techpod + APM 2.5 test flight"Wings were ment to flex. What is funny is how much psychology plays a role in enginering. I have lifted a 5 gallon jug of water with the spar while holding it at the tips. I dont think there are many airframes out there that can withstand that much…"
James masterman replied to wayne garris's discussion techpod APM 2.5 set up files in the group techpod users"Hi Wayne, thanks for this.
Did you mean to say 2 aileron channels and 1 flaps channel (with y cable). I assume you are actually using 2 flaps servos?
I read on another forum that the slow boat to Australia arrives this week so hopefully I can try…"

Techpod + APM 2.5 test flight

Hey everyone,
Got a little free time to get out to the field and do some flying yesterday. got a chance to engage the APM and see what it would do.
I was able to try out stabilize and RTH modes. both worked pretty well. Had problems with the OSD and after the first flight, I was getting glitches from the right aileron servo. I could not track…

Proposal to merge XFLR5 and PX4
Posted on February 22, 2013 at 5:00pm 20 Comments 2 Likes
(copied from my blog at hobbyuav.com)
Hey everyone!
I have not found a place where the fixed-wing control for the PX4 is being done so I started this blog.
Above is a Screen shot from XFLR5. I use it to mathematically model the physical form of an airplane. I can then take this description of said plane and then start modeling the flow of air over the surfaces described is the model. You can then send…

- Wayne, lets plan to fly together in Jan sometime up there in WA. We can get you started with Beta Software then.
RE: Your small platforms, do you have access to a Nokia NSeries device (N95 etc). If so, we can get you up and running with them, if not, I think these will turn out to be a better set of devices to work with insofar as Autopilots go than the WM devices that Chris currently works with. But we will also be porting our acquisition code to WM6 in the new year. You can check out the new Tilt device on ATT since it is the best device in this family at the moment. But we highly recommend the nokia devices, and would like to be able to implement an autopilot with them as well.
Stay in touch,
Jeff

I don't know if this is the most private way to post my e-mail address. I thought I'd leave it here instead of in the forum. Here's my e-mail address:
joshua.ferguson[at]fergusontechnologygroup[dot]com
Drop me a line and we'll discuss.

I'm very impressed with the work you are doing here and interested in your C2 design as it looks very similar to what I'm toying around with. My plan was for a UAV based on that design for air potos primarily. I confess i just like the look as well. I have a ryobi 31cc converted ready to g and spectrum radio equipment. I was wondering if you had any drawing or palns that you'd be willing to hshare to help me get the proportions correct??

Andrew Van Der Plaats said… - No, it's a 1944 Taylorcraft, similar to the type used durng WWII. In fact the one in the photo is the same type as one which was brought ashore during D-Day, then assembeld and flown as a spotter for navel guns. The pilot sits up front and observer can elect to sit facing forward or backwards. All tube and fabric construction.
