"This configuration is not symmetric about all of the body axes. The vertical separation of two neighboring motors introduces cross moments of inertia when expressing the inertia tensor in the body axes. If the x-axis is to the right or left in your…"

"You should not be scheduling gains on true airspeed! The aircraft dynamic scale with dynamic pressure, which is essentially the same as the impact pressure measured by a pitot-static system at the speeds model aircraft / small UAS fly. The only…"

"There are multiple airplanes in each system, four I believe. The $35,000 for each airplane sounds about right, the rest is for GCS, training, spares, etc..."

"The cracked clay is on Rosamond Dry Lake down at Edwards AFB.

The barometric pressure and GPS altitude tracked each other very well, but the absolute numbers are usually offset a little due to local weather conditions. On the 7000 ft flight the…"

"As used for the class it was a GPS only autopilot. It was flown in both of the airplanes shown above, plus about 6 others the team's built throughout the quarter. Since it was an aircraft design course, part of the challenge was designing a…"
