I was curious to know how many of you are members of AUVSI. It seems that is the professional organization to join if you are serious about this hobby. I have been a member for two years, but seldom see or hear it mentioned. I was also curious what o
I don't know if this has been posted here before, but I ran across a pan/tilt camera platform that is controlled by gyro sensors mounted on a video headset. This gives a pretty good first person view while flying and lets you look around just by turn
Here is a good site for finding engineering equations, tools, and information on several topics. I use this a lot when I start to get in over my head in something.http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/
Hi, I just joined the site and am having a problem with the QT videos everyone posts. They won't play for me-all I see is the QT screen with the logo and a "?" in the center. This isn't unique to this site.I have a PC with XP, downloaded the latest v

I am new to this site and I would wish to know what materials I need, software, hardware, stores, tools, and instructions require to build a UAV. Step by step directions would be the biggest help cause I find the UAV (or drones) on the main page lack

Hopefully I can get some help! I just recieved my picopilot-na and
I remember hearing on NPR a few years ago about a group of retired aeronatical engineers who had gotten together and built a number of model airplanes that used miniature autopilot circuits and GPS to fly incredible distances. They were trying to fly
I had a lot of faith and confidence in the SPEKTRUM DX7, so I decided to go ahead with the integration of the hobby wireless 500mW 2.4GHz AV TX into my UAV. I plugged everything in, conducted a range test and proceeded to take-off. Video Feed was gre
Hi,I'm new here, but have had an interest in this for a few years, but never really known where to start.My objective is to produce an air craft that could essentially fly non stop for an indefinite period of time.I am not looking to take pictures, a
Hi everyone here on DIY Drones ... As we try to catch up with what you guys are doing with WM devices ... head over to our Pict'Earth group here on Ning and link up yer imagery and vids. We will be working on integrating this with our social mapping
