First of all, I think this website is great! I've been checking it daily for the last month or so.
I would like to get involved in the European civil UAV business, and most of my skills are focussed on G.I.S and remote sensing. I would like to obtain a UAV to set up a company that offers professional aerial mapping, all geo-referenced and stuff. I both have the capital / time to invest in this project and I would like some advice.
I have found out about the Cropcam, which I am sure you are familiar with. I'm wondering what you guys/girls think about both the platform and more importantly, the quality of the autopilot. How would you rate the MP2028 with for example the AttoPilot 3.3?
By doing some browsing on this website I have found out that a bunch of you have flown / own the cropcam. What are your thoughts about it and what should be improved to make it a better platform?
Are there any other commercially available UAVs out there that I should be aware of? My budget for the UAV system is around $15k.
Hopefully you guys can help me out!
Thanks,
Peter
