Hey Greg ! It hit me while I was sleeping tonight and woke me up ! Getting baby scale is an Excellent idea! not just to weigh the plane but if I get one that shows ounces and fraction of ounces I can weigh each item and figure it's moment before I put it in the plane and help figure the best spot for it from the COG + or - and keep the trimming ballast to a minimum. the rest of the plane will be foam I have been looking at power plants and might do Something Novel ? I am aiming for a take off weight of 4 1/2 to 5 pounds if I get a power plant out of something 7 to 10 pounds it should be lots Thanks! Have a Great Day!
I read your posts that you have made a camera gimbal stabilizer. I work on Arduplane source code, with the APM-1 board, attaching 2 servo to work out solution for 2-axis stabilizer. It will be helpful if you could share your source so that I can have a look at it to get a better idea !

Hi there Greg,
Yes, I'm still working on the camera stuff, but not as mutch as I would like.
The most recent version of the code is in the APM_Camera git branch.
It contains libraries to control the mount (AP_mount) and the camera (AP_Camera)
There is also some documentation on the wiki.
It would be nice to join efforts.
Hi Greg,
Yes please send me the files I will take a look at it.
Hey Greg Go to my page and look at my photos this is not my first experience with air foils
Thanks for the comment! You have a Great Day!
