Hey Guys,
I have been flying RC for a few years now (both fixed wing and rotor wing) and have decided to design and build my own UAV. As far as design and build goes I am pretty well sorted however when it comes to the electronics I am lost. I have a Scorpion motor and Castle ESC, and normally use a spektrum dx8 & AR8000 rx. What else would I need to make the aircraft totally autonomous and how do I set it up?
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
Matt

An ardupilot mega, one of the 2 GPS modules, a computer with some form of internet. And your plane. An airspeed sensor if you really want it to be precise. But I just use the GPS speed. Telemetry is nice.
I would suggest flipping through the manual to get an idea how it all goes together. http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/home?tm=6
