Another nube diving in the shallow end head first

From reading all I can on this site I am looking forward to working with all of you on this project.

 

Here is what I am up to:

I have been flying RC for about 7+ years give or take with about a 15 year laps in there.  I work for a large farm opperation and we pay to have IR photography done by a full scale plane wich is very expensive.  I am adventualy looking at equiping a payload master 100 with an IR camera to perform the needs of our aerial photography.

Yesterday I ordered the ArduPilot Mega, ArduPilotMega IMU Shield/OilPan Rev-H (With Pins), GS407 U-Blox5 GPS 4Hz (New Antenna & Free uBlox Adapter Basic), Xbee Telemetry kit, ArduStation, ArduPilot Shield V2 Kit.

I have a 66" Decathalon with lots of room on the inside that I am planning to put this in.  Once I get everything working and can show that I can navigate to waypoints we will start work on getting the payload master built.  I do have an IT department at my disposal so this should help a great deal.
