Hi the idea here is to come up with a new UAV specific airframe design for the DIY community. Seeing that the AP's are rapidly improving and are cost effective for DIY we have no Airframe to match. We need something with Ailerons to start with, its the only way to fly properly and prevent nasties. A Pod design may be the most flexible as they can be interchanged, also if positioned at the CG it will help to keep the airframe light and reduce CG problems with differing Pods/Payloads.We need some new standards for form factor for the AP and Payload to ease the pain of design and prevent the issues with adapting other designs. To start the ball rolling a few ideas below:UAV specific design, long term platformCost effective, not cheapAirframe with Rx, AP, BattPod for payload/AP (Interchangeable for different missions/payloads) with own powerPod design to form factor & Volume (maybe different Pod designs for same Airframe)New AP form factor (standardization) for mounting and space utilizationRequirements:Max PayloadMax weight to conform to legislation, also max speedDuration, batt size & motorAirframe weight (lower means more payload)SturdinessCGStabilityPod vibration isolationSensor vibration isolationSensor mounting points on airframe with wire pathways to ease installation & attachmentPod electrical connector or means to electrically connect to AirframePitot tube and/or AoA sensor build in, baro sensor positionWheeled or notLand and stall speedGimball for camera and other sensorsRgrdsSarel

Hello,,Iam new in this forum and i have a problem with IMU for generating pitch angle ,
I am using the Y-Gyro for short range BUT i must make another sensor (accelometre ) along with Y-Gyro for long range correction using adaptive filtring tecq- ,,which accelometre should i pick for this problem,,I am thinking of the X-accelometre but it will be effected by the UAV motion,,so iam thinking of using Z-accolmeter ??? so please help me on this and thanks in advance
Exams are almost done... Calculus tomorrow and electronics next friday!
I would just like a recomendation on the motor side of things. Need to get a plane flying after the exams...
Plane AUW1.7- 2.3kg. Would the 3015-07 tower pro motor have enough power? it is rated at 470W and 1000kv, will be using a 3s 2500mah or 3700mah batt... And any estimates on the flight times?
So, i've officially started my design... No pre-designing. All I know is that it'll have to be a pusher, and a big one at that.
Here are some pics of me testing the newly built cnc. UAV got prefrence as i have no other planes at the moment(bad crash month).. Perfectly cut cores(First time cut).. Yummy!
Clark Y airfoils(Best all rounder in my opinion for slow, high lift UAV)
root & tip cord 280mm
Span at the mo. 2.1 m total(stil need to trim and glue, and re-inforce)
Brushless Outrunner motor PULSAR 20 is suitable for model airplanes with flying weight of 1200 ~ 1800g * It can deliver comparable performance to a .25 size glow engine * mounting hardware and propelleradapter supplied as standard for fast and easy installation * 7~10 cells * 2~4 LiPO * Measures: 35x36mm * IO (A): 2.0A (10V) * KV/RPM-V: 980 * max. load 28A/60sec. * max. Efficiency: 80% * resistance: 45mOhm * shaft dia: 4mm * weight: 105g * We recommend a 35A brushless controller, e.c. PULSAR PRO 35-3P, No.C1511

what's the status of the project?

i would like to have these as airframe ;)
could ArduPilot handle that?

Happy building all!
