I know this setup is not all DIY, but I thought I would share what the University of North Dakota, Unmanned Aircraft Systems Engineering (UASE) team has been working hard on to compete in the 2010 UAV Outback Challenge. Hope you enjoy...

    This one should deliver a pack of beer for the whole team instead of a bottle!
    Very nicely integrated.
    But too huge to be practical, even for research, IMO.
    You will lose a lot of time for pre-flight checks.

    No it's DIT (team insteasd of self). You guys must have a big budget! Is that EMI copper shielding I see around the middle box. Very cool plane, and very big too. After seeing this I would bet on you. Good Luck UND.

    Agreed, see you there. We went with this platform because our group focuses on mostly payload development and nothing beats developing in a huge rectangle with 25 lb capacity :)

    I love your UAV, it's like a big Suburban!
