"Could not resist, while learning and developing I am "flying" a bread board with APM."
"Just read some reports that state tarmac is not the best due to the non reflective nature. It seems like these are not all equal, there are industrial ones available for either dark or light surfaces. Starting to think they might be too unreliable…"
"@Melih
Was thinking of the same, would be great if you could get it reliable, having distance to ground from 300 meters opens up all sorts of possibilities. Over an above landings it could be used to fly low, "hug" the ground, at say 10-20 meters…"

Have a look at these cross platform libraries that play well with Qt :

"@Chris , would be interesting to post the type/model of craft used by each entry ?"
Have the AP Mega and IMU assembled, have done some basic tests to switch led's on/off etc.One thing I can not get working and have trouble debugging is the ADC, all the test program returns is a row of 0's.Any ideas how to debug ?The code I used is…

Should really have looked that up myself :)
So a max 2 kPa sensor should be good up to the 200 km/hr range at sea level. What is a simple explanation for the increase in pressure not being linear to the increase in speed (v^2 ) ?"

What would realistic ranges be for air pressure measured by a differential sensor during flight ? At what realistic speed , including a head wind of what speed ?Looking for alternative differential pressure sensor, what would the ideal range be in…

Great , noticed it earlier. The big clear images showing the boards are really helpful.

"@Ron the rough measurements are as follows :
Length of main compartment : 13cm (back of motor to back of compartment)
Width of main compartment : 4.5cm - 5cm (narrower towards back and front)
Depth of main compartment : 2.5cm ( with indentations up…"

"Ron, the Radian does not have much space in the front, if you put a larger battery pack in there is just about none after the ESC etc. Also, the Radian is not meant for powered flight, more a glider with a motor to get to altitude. I have one of…"
