I had a look around the site, and it seems that the discussion on UAV regulation is mostly centred around America and the FAA. All very informative, but if, like me, you live in England, not very helpful. So, not wanting to get myself into trouble, I

Read more…I've been playing around with airframe designs for my UAV project, and I thought I'd see what you guys thought. I'm building the whole system from the ground up for a semi-uni-related project, so that rules out buying an RC plane to convert, but it d

Read more…Quick question...does anybody know where to obtain detailed dimension drawings of the Multiplex EasyStar? Or, at the very least, the dimensions of the "cabin"? All I can find is overall length and wingspan. I'm trying to pick out hardware and visuali

Read more…Hello,I was wondering how you all log your telemetry. Do you use a directly log your data off your xbee using a serial logger, or is there an easy way to grab it in .kml format through the groundstation? Thanks!!-Colin Ho
Read more…I will start off by saying this is not a traditional UAV, it is the launch vehicle for my invention a mass driver. Basically it needs to be a data collection point for flight telemetry, eventually expanding into work as an R/C and maybe eventually a
