About Me:

Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I have built many different styles of airframes and have found pushers allow you to make the most out of available payload space. I will say that flying wings are also very efficient and work well as sUAS platforms also.

The holux gps unit that came with my picopilot decided to start speaking a different language all of a sudden! I have had countless successfull flights with this gps and then today I fire it up and the gps was failing. everything looked like it was…
Does anybody know what would cause the picopilot to circle a waypoint more than once then depart for the next? I have conducted multiple test runs and have found that when I set only one waypoint it will fly to it, turn around and return. When I…
