Ok so I know what I want on my uav, but I don't know what type of plane to get. I was originally going to get an EasyStar but thought an auto pilot, camera, and fpv system would be to heavy and it wouldn't have enough room. I'm not sure if thats even true, but if that is the case then I want someones opinion on what plane I should get.
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
I am planning on getting the RQ-11 Raven from Nitroplanes.com and I want to eventually remake the wings into carbon fibre. Could you give me some ideas. Can I just coat the existing balsa and Monokote wing with a sheet of carbon fibre and resin? Or should I make a whole new wing out of a mould? Was also thinking of replacing the balsa supports with carbon fibre and then just re-coating in Monokote. What do you think?
I've been working on this copy cat skylark for a while and will hopefully have several available for testing soon. Anyone flying with a full functioning AP with FPV gear interested in testing please send me a message. I've sold a few for FPV only and need a few testers for the final prototypes. Total flying weight should be under 4 lbs. Wingsets will vary but 2m seems to work best so far.
Do you have experience with RC? Makes a big difference in a plane recommendation.... No sense recommending a plane you are likely to crash on takeoff ;)
