ArduPilot Success Stories/Videos

Hello Everyone,I am excited with the ArduPilot project and the DIY Drones community activities. I decided to buy an ArduPilot from Sparkfun (they do not have in their stock at the moment). Meanwhile I am searching for ArduPilot success stories, and successful flight videos with ArduPilot. Although there are a couple of ArduPiloted EasyStar flight videos on YouTube, those videos do not show accurate navigation results (I hope I am mistaken).If you know successful flight videos of ArduPiloted UAVs, can you post their links?May be the proprietor of this site can create a new tab/section specifically reserved for the listing of ArduPilot success stories/videos.

  • How to create a "realistic" UAV flight dynamic model of a popular UAV airframe (such as Mutiplex EasyStar ) for simulation?
  • Is it possible to create a generic model such a way that the model can later be re-configured for different UAV airframes?
The model should be able to accurately approximate the next state (position, attitude, velocities and accelerations) of the UAV given its current state and control inputs (throttle, ailerons, rudder, elevator control values). That is, the model should tell me what will happen in dt (delta t, i.e. short time interval) time in the future if I apply a know set of control inputs.
