Over the last several months I've been writing a Windows application I call the Waypoint Path Generator to be able to programmatically generate paths for a uav to fly. Currently the program can generate paths for importing into the Mission Hub app

This is my first time on this forum and building a quadcopter. I've spent a lot of time researching the science behind flying and building one. I believe I got most of the concepts down and I'm ready to begin work on co

I built a quad with 4x EMAX RS2205 motors with 4s battery and 5" bullnose props. I am carrying an APM mini.
Total weight of 500g and a thrust of +3kg makes it quite powerful - especially when I get my hands on the RS2205S type...
This makes it a

I plan to build an UAV Plane for photogrammetric purpose.
As I like compute, calculate and plan before build, I try to compile the mains characteristics of the planes frames.
