well here is more progress and problah here is your photo it doesnt have a yard stick but my height is 5'9" for a comparison anyway does the engine mount look too bad because i kind of hastily put it together well here they are!
this looks a little bad but i gorilla glued it in case it came out and gorilla glued all of the rest of the scews
well 2 things affect me doing that, 1 im still looking for the cable to my camera, and 2 im out of town without my airplane so it will be a while, i guess i can use my camera inside my laptop anyway im ditching the landing idea because of risk of loosing hundreds of dollars i could in future designes inculde a sonic sensor SONAR to the front to help with landings i will try to get a picture a.s.a.p. (;
this is my airplane!! assembled it in 1hr the only problem is i dont have a 18" servo extension
Any of you guys think the wings are too deep? oh and 1 more problem, can i get this thing to take off and land without a controller because I had a $200 budget and i spent $196 on the plane and servos and the receiver alone was $100 so if anyone has advice for me let me know
You'll have to modify it for you own purposes, but it sounds like you've got *most* of what you need.
However you can't use a Basic Stamp and a single accelerometer for stabalization. Doing that is a huge job, involving three accelerometers, gyros, a much more powerful CPU than a Basic Stamp along with some of the trickiest coding you can imagine. The plane in the link above uses a commerical FMA co-pilot for stabalization, leaving the Basic Stamp for the much easier job of navigation.
If you get a FMA co-pilot, the rest of what you've got should be enough to achieve autonomous flight.

the quality is not good due to compression if you want a full image ask for my email.
