"This is no offense. But it's amazing you guys are able to program these auto piloting systems but seem awed by simple aileron modifications to a simple 3ch aircraft. That plane is underpowered, It'll fly but adding extra weight for the auto piloting…"
Ok I really wish there was like a forum area that covered it all.... Anyways I have no problem with designing and getting airplanes to fly. But the self piloting and the positioning systems I need help.What is the most basic stuff I'd need so that I…
So its times like these i wish i had an autonomous vtol type vehicle, i have lost a 2 meter sailplane in deep woods, i have no money but i was wondering if such a task,vehicle would be possible to do which im sure it is. But what if you were to take…
"I was going to say the same thing 72mhz is air and 75 is ground"
"Wait i thought that 72mhz would have greater range than 2.4ghz well i dont know i read somewhere that the 2.4ghz Dx6's could only go like 1500ft or something so people with big models sometimes would lose radio reception im not sure...
no offense…"
no offense…"
"Yeah, it would be.
man i really want to do FPV but dang is it expensive."

"Oh yeah here is a pretty long video of my pusher(hornet) it uses a small 2500kv motor on 3c and uses a 5x3 prop. Nice little motor they're only like 9bucks at hobbycity, you can get even better motors that produce more for 9bucks, its a good site to…"
"Actually the pusher one its basically just a different fuse for the slow stick. You just make the fuse big enough to suite your needs, then calculate the total weight and make your wings as big as whatever wingloading you want, lighter is for slow…"
"Well here are some basic numbers:
Wingspan was 50in
Wing root and tip chord was 10 in so total wing area is 500sq in
Payload you can carry is like 3lbs.
these are weak wings(foam that is bent into an undercambered airfoil) so you need wing…"

"so how woudl the microcontroller know to take a picture of something you want a picture of, say your doing recon or something, then your like oh i want a pic of that, how does the microcontroller know you want a pic of it? are you sayin you hit a…"
"Aww dang... i guess i dont belong to this web place... ahh well
just my 2 cents, i like your guy's place, i like the home page stuff n' all.
Ahh if the stuff wasnt so expensive(im 15) i would go for it, ahh but for now simple RC planes that fly at…"

"An RC Slow Stick works good.. or a pusher plane. Nice and slow for good AV stuff
All you need is a 1/4 by 1/4 stick, some dollar general foam, or Fan Fold Foam from home depot and rc gear. Ive made several myself and have many aerial videos taken…"

"What about just adding a servo on? On a seperate channel?"
I do most of my RC aircraft scratchbuilt, i have a 3oz stripped down camera i use for AV but i dont have any FPV equipment or GPS equipment. What exactly is UAV?Is an Rc plane, piloted by an rc flyer, with a camera on it a UAV?
