AUVSI Competition using ArduPilot
I'm the captain for Team Awesome, the UAS team from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Arizona Campus. We're headed to the Small UAS competition in Pax River, MD in five days, and we're using an ArduPilot 2.0 equipped airplane. This will be our first year at the competition. We're using the ParkZone Radian powered glider airframe, and the GoPro Hero 2 camera.
We want to extend a big thanks in advance to the developers of ArduPilot. We've come a long way in our first year, and we couldn't have done it without you.
I'll be posting updates from the competition, so stay tuned. Questions are welcome!

I'd love to see your competition paper! I was loosely part of the NC State ARC (just graduated) and I have a bunch of friends heading to MD for the comp. Good luck! Kick some piccolo ass please.

Where's the GoPro? I'd love to see some closer pics of how you have things arranged. I have a Radian, but have never put the APM in it. I have concerns about how it gets blown around in the wind. How's does it fly without aileron control? Do crosswinds cause problems with stability or waypoint tracking?
