About Me:
I love aviation, and have an electrical engineering background. Currently I work in IT for a silicon valley company.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I fly full size as well as models, and UAV's seem like the perfect merging of my interests! :) I'm working on developing a geomosaic software to collect IR images and stitch them together for analysis.

"Very interested to hear about how you are using the sonar and what software you are using to create the false colour maps."
"Tommy, this is great! What a simple idea, and so powerful. I've already ordered the wifi-serial converter, and I have a 3G hotspot at home that I'll put in there.

"Hi, with your MinimOSD problem, you just need to connect the Minim up to your PC and upload the hex file charset then setup your displays. You can download the software and .hex file here - http://code.google.com/p/arducam-osd/downloads/list

"@Saurabh Srivastava Your setup looks great mate! Very tidy indeed, puts my "overnight special" to shame!"
"Pat, I have a "trial" gimbal on the front with pan/tilt, I've used that with the APM onboard camera stablisation and the "point camera here" function through mission planner. All worked very well, with no complaints. I would love to use it for…"
"Not only would this be cool for Quads and planes, but it would be awesome for applications like submarines which have no clear line of site to the sky. In fact I was thinking about this over the weekend. A few years ago I built an ROV submarine…"
"Sure. I have this motor and and this prop. I run on 4S and it has unlimited vertical performance with that combination. Running 4S was convenient for me so I can get a good 20mins flight from that configuration with the 3000mAH battery,…"
"Post updated Michael with a battery photo included mate."
"Bryan, in terms of the launch, I have hand launched it myself, the X8 has some hand holds on the bottom to help you with the launch. My little fella is the chief camera man! He's a decent pilot in his own right though, often brings a zagi or…"
I've received a number of requests to show the detail inside the X8 that we've been trialing. So here we go with some photo's of my terribly messy cabling, and configuration. Hopefully the next one will be nice and tidy.Most equipment is attached…
"The airframe is an X8, I bought it from rc4y.com, but you can get them from other suppliers like bevrc.com. I'll post some more photo's tonight for everyone."
"Sure Adam, I'll take some more tonight."
Firstly, I'd like to say that Mission Planner is a wicked piece of software, congratulations to the team behind it.The question I have is, can I stop the map from orienting with the heading of the aircraft whilst it's in flight? It makes it hard to…
My spanking new APM 2.5 arrived earlier this week, along with the xBlo GPS and 3DR radio modems. We've flown the X8 previously on RC just to make sure servo travels and CG are all good to go, but yesterday we conducted a series of 10 minute flights…
