Yellow Plane 2 with inverted V tail software modified and tested stability gyros

Missing battery and camera box have a design which should weigh 140 grams empty.

The assembly shown below weighs 684 Grams no motor or electronics.

Electronics shown weigh 110 grams ESC Arduino board, Xbee, antenna & Gyro…

Revised Yellow FPV Plane with gyro stability system added, Worked best with analogue inputs from Murata piezo gyro sensors of a dead KK board filtered taking a 10 point average. Yaw compensation is currently not used as there is no rudder presently.

Gyro stability code in action…

pyXY - Synapse SM700 Dev Board May Be better than Xbee and seems cost effective

8 X 12 bit analogue inputs could do a RC controller without Arduino's  



This Data Sheet details the SM700PC1 module, which…

While adding the AMP to the Shrike, we wanted to understand Flying Wings a little better and explore expos.  We incrementally increased expose to 0%, 30%, and 60%, then flew the Raptor with the existing vertical stabilizer at 100%, 50%, and 0%. We were surprised to find that it flew just fine with 0% stabilizer! This test was in low wind, however, so it will…

Continuing from my last post and hunting down the ever ending dream for "more" Skiptrovamon took a new form. This time our team goals was to keep the good things from our first airframe and..:

-Step on Known PIDs

-Make more room for cameras…
