hello,i m totally new in aeromodelling .i hav experince in robotics.well i want to Design and make a wireless remote controlled aircraft, which has all six degrees of freedom including yaw, pitch and roll and that can complete a specified path in the minimum possible time.And the specifications are as given:Dimensions and Fabrication1. An aircraft is defined as an object that has the four forces of flight, namely lift, drag, weight (gravity) and thrust due to propeller acting on it at any point of time.2. The wingspan of aircraft cannot be more than 3 feet.3. The use of launching mechanisms is prohibited. The aircraft should be hand launched.4. The use of IC engines is prohibited. Only electrical motors are allowed.5. The weight of aircraft should not exceed 1.5 Kg.6. The participants are free to use the materials of their choice. However the use of Balsa wood or foam (sun board) or sun pack is advisable. Balsa wood is light, easy to handle and fabricate the Aircraft making it the best choice.7. Participants must make all parts of the aircraft themselves. Usage of Ready-to-Fly (RTF) and Almost-Ready-to-Fly (ARF) kits is strictly prohibited. However, the kit comprising of unassembled cut-pieces of Balsa wood is allowed. Also use of readymade actuators/motors, remote controls and propellers is allowed.8. Use of gyroscopes (gyros) is prohibited.9. If anyone found not following above rules will be disqualified.so please can anyone help on things to buy .i m planning to buy ardupilot(not sure).please help soon .very eager to make something .-gaurav
