So I have a Bixler airframe, and am buying a PixHawk unit, along with the 3DR telemetry radios. What is the best RC transmitter/receiver combo I should be looking at?I am looking for minimum hassle on setup, and plenty of features to last me a…
"+1 - I would like this as well."
I am contemplating putting a drone (like a Bixler or Skywalker) on a balloon for launch from a very high altitude and subsequent LONG, APM guided glide back to the starting point. Just for the hell of it (and some cool video).. Would the typical…
OK, so I am starting off with the Bixler to get my feet wet. After that, I'd like to move to a Skywalker for LONG range flights. Here is an interesting 11,000 mah pack that is only 650g or so. Is anyone using anything like…
"This is really the ultimate solution when avaliable - http://www.delorme.com/inreach/
It weighs in at a hefty 225g though. However, you could find your drone anywhere on the globe, even way out of 3G range...

If I have an aircraft like the Bixler or Skywalker using APM 2.x, what is the expected navigation accuracy? For example, if I want the plane to fly directly over a waypoint at a certain altitude, how much horizontal error can I expect 99% of the…
Hello, I am new to APM Planner. Just downloaded it yesterday, and noticed that in "Flight planner" on the right-hand side under "Mouse location" the Lat Long updates, but "ALT" always shows as zero no matter where I move the mouse. It would be…
All, I am new to UAV building and am looking at putting one together using the Bixler airframe from HK. I am wondering what options I should get on my APM. I want to be able to execute fully automatic landings (and takeoffs/climbs after…
"OK, so I might have answered one of my questions already. Cruise speed on the Skywalker seems to be around 70km/h? Is that a good long-range cruise speed estimate?

All,I am a full-scale pilot (just private w/ inst. rating) looking to get into UAVs. For my first UAV project, I am looking at a fixed-wing beginner plane with as much endurance/range as possible. I have no previous RC experience, but I do…
