About Me:
I'm a control systems engineer (Aerospace mainly). I've always been an aviation enthusiast. Have a pilot’s license (Single engine land, VFR only, not current), I’ve dabbled in paragliding for a couple years, and I’ve been an RC aircraft hobbyist off and on since middle school. I’ve been blessed with a tolerant wife.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Interested in building an electric UAV for fun (for starters). Interested in control system aspects, including system-identification testing (flight dynamics), fly-by-wire control law design, possible future experimentation with stabilized pan-tilt for camera payload.

Hello,I'm having an issue flying my APM (configured for a drone with no ailerons... elevator+rudder only) in HIL mode with X-plane. It works fine in manual mode, except that the ailerons of the model are moving in response to what would be a rudder…
Hello All, Has anyone looked at the MB-LPS-01 series of differential pressure sensors by Microbridge?There is quite a lineup in sensitivity/range (see spec sheets attached). I'm looking for an air-speed sensor appropriate for a low-speed UAV (say,…
