"Nice platform and nice flight
How long you can fly with 2kg payload ?
Do you count battery weight as payload weight?
What is your empty (without payload) weigth of your system?"

Hey,I want to ask expert advise on a long endurance (about 40 minutes) heavy lifter (1550gm camera) multi-rotor platform.Can you speculate or advise me what would be the good starting point of building a multi-rotor (quadrotor, or hexacopter or octa…
Hey,Take off Weight (TOW) and flight endurance are inversely related attributes for most of UAV platforms.I want to build a multi-rotor UAV platform capable of lifting 2.5kg payload (+ weigh of platform+batteries+electronics etc) and try to hover…

"Matt,
Yes, I agree with you that one can find many high-level applications that can not be performed on Arduino. Vision based obstacle detection could be one of them. I assume, in order to use OpenCV on this card, the only way to input video signal…"
Hello Everybody,Can anybody advise me if there is a method to charge LiPo batteries really quick (less than a minute, instead of tens of minutes)?Is there any other battery type, other than LiPo batteries that can be used on RC planes and can be…
Does anybody worked on the position estimation of a hovering UAV (quadrotor, helicopter etc.) using external multiple webcams+PC and a custom OpenCV (or MATLAB) application in indoor environment ?(Yes, I'm trying to make a poorman's version of…
