Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

My interest greatly is inclined towards Fixed Wing UAVs with on-hand experience with integration on APM 2.5 /2.6 and PIXHAWK on Delta-Wing, V-Tail UAV platforms. Have been successful in going auto on Electric, Nitro and Gas platforms and have incorporated PiXHAWK on custom built plane ( 2.6 meter, twin boom, A- Tail with Gas engine )

"Hi Thomas, Yes it resembles RMRC Anaconda.
No There are no flaps on the plane shown in pic (DAWON 1.4).
We plan to have flaps in the new design of DAWON 2.0, Flaps will be on the midwing in the new version."

"Hi. 
My system uses a NIKON D3100 for imagery. I was looking for a gimbal for the same.
Any suggestions? Also which one of SERVO / BRUSHLESS drives will be preferred for steady pictures, not videos."
