Hello guys,this is my first thread or discussion and I would like to introduce myself first.i graduated 3 years ago with a bachelor degree in aerospace engineering, my final design project was a UAV, but it was only the airframe and structure itself without the avionics.we planned that the UAV was to be used for highway patrol and monitoring.So now i am thinking seriously about building one but since am a beggener I would like to start step by step and not jump right to video, downlink ... etc.I want to learn how to build a UAV that goes from point A to point B and back to point A and so on. I would be glad also if anyone can tell me what are the componants of a basic UAV system like the one i just mentioned? for example, GPS, Autopilot ... etc.I fly RC planes and currently have 2 rc planes, one that is almost 3 meter span and another one almost 1 meter span.any help is greatly appreciated,Ahmed H.

I think you should wait for the documentations of the open source SLUGS autopilot, that seems sophisticated enough to match your design: http://www.diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/slugs-autopilot-soon-to-become
Would you give the characteristics of your design?
