Simple low cost gyro stabilized camera roll axis

I'm going to mount this 10 x zoom camera under wing inside fuselage in my Skywalker. There is space for it. it will be pointing out to the left side of the plane because the FY 21 AP will turn left in circle mode.







The system are very simple and also low cost. The servo got mems gyro inside. I know it wont stabilize the camera 100 % but I think it will be OK for armature UAV flying.



I got the servo from… Continue

How to get more room for payload in Easystar.



I made a new fuselage for the easystar to get more room for payload. This proto is made in 2 layers of carbonfiber. The carbonfiber is very easy to work with, so if any one out there like to make some modifications just go for it.

I got the carbonfiber from here



The weight of the T-REX fuselage is about 140g = 4.93 ounces - still need to make the inner fuselage so the… Continue

I have a proposal for a new platform for uav.

I know this is a bit risky to propose a new platform for a UAV, but I think it could be a very good platform.



The system are slow, stabel, won't brake if a crash should happen, easy to operate, ok payload.



How about having ArduPilot installed on a RC Paraglider.





I hope you all can se the opportunities with this kind of systems.



See more here RC… Continue

First testflight UAV Seagull 2200

Yes the first testflight is over, and the seagull 2200 are still alive.



I planed a small 5 waypoint route on a open area near Aalborg, Denmark.



After calibration on the FMA sensor I was ready to give it a try.



After a little manual flight I pushed the auto button on my remote CH 5.. So far so good. The plane started making bit of rocking with the rudder - after a sec or two the plane gets stabel and just holding… Continue
