About Me:
I fly UAV's in the us army and currently fly on my free time I have over 800 hours flying UAV's and love everything that I do with them. I now work for the University of Alaska Fairbanks and fly research projects for students as well as discover new ways to help improve the lives of Alaskans.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
It goes back four years when I started flying for the army I fly them for work and after work for fun! There isn't a time where I don't have some form of UAV with me.

So when I take off in STB everything is fine at mid throttle. But when I switch to Loiter mode the IRIS+ climbs? Any thoughts on if this is a ESC problem or Param problem?
"It seams we are leading something new here! I don't think I can share what I am doing as it is company property, But if I get time to go to a lake I will!"
"Thank you all! I love this community! Notice how I modify the wing to hold a go pro to take photos! It works wonderfully! I have also done some others as well!"
"I am doing this same thing and for a company,. I am using a commercial fishing sonar to map the bottom of a lake to get depths and make a somewhat 3d looking map under water! But my boat is gas powered so we will see how this works out! I will post…"

"so i need to replace the power module?"
So I think my octocopter had a brown out, but the question here is if I did have a brownout is it the autopilot or the power module? And how do I have out in the log files?Thank you for any help.
"what is this mess? All this makes me wanna leave this country and go fly somewhere else! Oh i know it's the North Koreans telling us we can't fly!"
"I had the same problem and the only thing that I can suggest is to reload the Arudpilot to the autopilot. "
"Thank you all are things I have not yet thought about. The biggest thing I am worried about is engine vibration. I don't want the vibration from the engine to mess up any of my IMU sensors.

"Nice thank you for the website! I will look for lessons learned so I can avoid them. And sure I would like to keep in touch to see how we are both doing.

"Can we start fining them. They don't meet a deadline thats a fine! no? Well they sure do think it's ok to fine us if we broke an unwritten rule! No wonder why the FAA doesn't have any friends!"
I was wondering if anyone in the DIY community has ever put a Aurdopilot on a gas powered airplane. If so did it work and does the engine effect the autopilot. I am about to put it in an airplane with a 3 meter wing span and I don't want it to crash…
