I do most of my RC aircraft scratchbuilt, i have a 3oz stripped down camera i use for AV but i dont have any FPV equipment or GPS equipment. What exactly is UAV?Is an Rc plane, piloted by an rc flyer, with a camera on it a UAV?

Aww dang... i guess i dont belong to this web place... ahh well
just my 2 cents, i like your guy's place, i like the home page stuff n' all.
Ahh if the stuff wasnt so expensive(im 15) i would go for it, ahh but for now simple RC planes that fly at 1000ft are just fine with me. it is still cool with the autopilot and stuff though, for me my next step is FPV but i still gotta make enough for that.
The primary difference between RC airplanes and UAVs is pilot control. A UAV has the ability to be automatically stabilized and flown without human input, although there is generally the capability for manual control if required.
To answer your last question, an RC airplane with a camera, piloted by a human, is not a UAV.
