Hi, I'm completely new to the drone/autopilot community, but I'm using (or attempting to use) an ardu-imu in a school project. My goal is to use the IMU's sensor data to actuate a servo-operated camera gimbal system to keep a camera facing orthogonal

Has anyone had any luck measuring fuel flow or fuel volume in a glow fuel powered aircraft?
I was contemplating using a differential pressure sensor to calculate the mass flow rate between the tank and the needle valve, but I have a hunch that the ove
I think this AeroQuad project is an excellent platform for a DIY drone, from looking at their website. I have been evaluating which way to go with these Multi-rotor aircraft as there are some good looking projects out there.
Thought I'd start some info flow on Canadian UAV activity and hopefully focus on non-combat uses.
These are a few links that popped up first when I did a search.

Can I use the ardupilot board only with an electric plane, or is it also possible to use it with a nitro plane, including thrust control?
Thanks to the experts out there.

I am in the process of building my first plane and at the design phase, giving thought to motors (outrunner mainly).
There are so many available "brands" out there...does anyone have recommendations for good quality motors in the 400 class that are we
i bought the arduimu v2 flat,the EM406 gps,the connector,the cable and the ftdi cable.

what to do ??????????
I know that some commercial UAVs have a feature which allows the pilot to choose a vehicle and the UAV tracks/follows it.On the arudupilot mega, other than a camera, would I need additional hardware to program such a feature?
