Feasibility of such an airframe design?
I know the next generation of fighters are called for to be quicker and more maneuverable than anything we have ever seen but how long until the hobby world can keep up? I honestly know that we are years from su

for static performance and found some interesting things:
Hey everyone,
Great stuff that you guys are doing at DIY!!!
I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a localization problem. I'm building an indoor UAV and am exploring options for localization, one option is of course SLAM but that demands a s
In the configurator do you have to have the magno in order for the artificial horizon to work? The reason that I ask is that it seems to go off to one side or the other depending on which computer I plug it into, but the accelerometers seem to work.
Hi
I need to convert my plane to a UAV for a competition.
I need to take off manually, switch to UAV mode so the plane can fly a programmed route, then have it come back so I can take control and land it.
My plane is a nitro trainer with a 40 engine
I am trying to complete my first build of an ArduIMU v2 (flat) quadcopter (using Jose Julio's version as a guide).
I am close and just need to connect the receiver.
I bought a Turnigy 9TX transmitter that comes with an 8 ch receiver. While it was rela
Hello folks,
We are developing a slightly over-engineered Quadcopter at the University of Adelaide using some embedded components we had lying around, a Gumstix, Mircrostrain IMU and an Arduino. The plan is to have higher level processing on-board for

I've been trying to get accurate altitude readings from my ardupilot mega using the pressure sensor. Since there doesn't seem to be any way to input the current qnh into the APM to get an accurate reading, I decided to dive into the code to
I'm fumbling my way through configuring my UAV, and I'm not so good with the code as it has grown and changed a lot recently. I have some wide-ranging questions, and I'm hoping some of the experts out there can weigh in on them. So... running down
