About Me:
I'm an avionics researcher at ARCAA.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I have had an interest in UAVs since my undergraduate days. Right now I'm interested in developing and testing safety systems (Sense and Avoid, Emergency Landing) which can be used for UAVs and General Aviation alike.

"Its worth noting that the band in Australia is 915 to 928 MHz, as opposed to North america where the band is 902-928 MHz.. perhaps this is where the confusion is coming from?? "
"Model aircraft rules apply so long as you are using it for 'sport and recreation' - it is nothing to do with the actual weight of the aircraft.
If operating at an MAAA field under MAAA rules, aircraft over 7kg need a heavy model inspection…"

"This is a good thing - it opens up the benefits of sUAS to the wider community. There is no implicit reason that sUAS operations require high levels of qualifications - the level of qualifications and experience of the operators should…"
"hi magnus, unfortunately not yet. We've been having some pretty ordinary flying weather here and I've been busy with other things. Hopefully soon."
"Unfortunately it is hard to put the thermopile in the centre of the aircraft because of the battery hatch. I could still put it on top of the battery hatch I suppose but its not as neat.
Gary, yes brushless would be good, but I think it will fly…"

I received my airspeed shield today along with the pitot tube kit and thermopile cable. So that meant that I had all the bits I needed to get this thing in a flying condition. I also found an old motor, prop and ESC so I've installed that too. I…
I've finally spent a bit of time to setup the Arudipilot which I bought back at the start of the year into an aircraft. This is an EPP Zagi airframe which was surplus to other requirements here (left over from an undergrad project I think). I've…
"good luck Chris. some of us will be back in the office on the 4th of Jan so you're welcome to come out here to work."
"Hi Shaw,
I've been having a simliar problem when using XBeePro XSCs with an Arduino Mega. I'm receiving zeros at the serial port.
One problem could be that I'm using Xbee explorers from Sparkfun which may have a current limit problem on transmit…"
