Hi all
I have my hands on this UAV model. The model just need the winglets before it's flyable.
I'm sure it's not the most easy plane to fly.
What do you think?
Have a nice X-mas... :-)
New wing from Skywalker factory >>X8 UAV platform<<
For those who want Long range / Long flying time / High payload the new X8 wing will get you there..
The wing X8, will be released early 2012.
Wing span: 2122mm
Wing area: 80dm2
valid payload: 1000-2000g
X8 use KV730 2820 Motor, 40-60A ESC and 1260, 1280 prop
I'm already in love with this bird...
Many have been asking for this belly protection for the Skywalker platform. Finally we decided to make this in big numbers so it can be available for the people who ask for it. It's made in glass fiber and only weight 55 g.
FeiYu Tech is ready to release the new FY31AP autopilot.
FY-31AP FPV Inertial Attitude Stabilizer(Basic Edition) includes :
1. FY-31AP Module
2. FYGPS (10HZ) Module (better module)
3. Related Wirings
The FY-31AP have some new functions more then the FY-21AP:
1. Can set the path fly, max for 8 waypoints!
2. Support the PTZ control!
3. Auto gyroscope and vibration testing.
4. Firmware update by yourself!
The new Hornet OSD
Price:
FY31 AP is j US$ 199,-
Hornet OSD us ~ US$ 99,-
Complete FY31AP with Hornet OSD 288 USD
Good inspiration.
I found this bird on youtube made by a man from Norway.
4.4M wingspan.
Useful tool or.....
No it'a not me! I just found it on RCG.
"We finally flew our first thermal camera flight yesterday afternoon. About 10 seconds after launch my co pilot looked at the screen and said something like, "We now have our very own predator drone""
Just been testing this "new" copter.
Good
Stable flying
Easy to build
PnP no need for installing code
Can be finetuned via software, but has 3 knobs to adjust gain in field.
Bad
ESC: Got problem starting the BL motor, but when motor are running it's pretty powerfull. (Need slow startup)
Navigation mode: (hold position and RTH) need more testing. Not working very well.
Some drift: (maybe better prop or balancing motor/prop could help)
All in all: Nice little Y copter. The FY91Q can easily be intergrated in much bigger frame with bigger motor /ESC or be used in other configuration (like X frame).
Need for work with the RTH or Hold position function, too early for me to say it's rock solid.
Pilot: John Jensen, DK
The new FPVraptor will soon be ready for production. Just need some small adjustments.
The platform comes in two versions: 1.6 M and 2 M version.See the first review by Ali on youtube.
Hope you like what you see.
Lanyuhobby tried to find a good solution to reach out to both FPV and sUAV flying.
Pricelevel ~ 100-115 USD
Feel free to comment.
You can buy the FPVraptor 2m here.
Made in China!
Don't know what to say.
Ardupilot mega IMU: 520 rmb = 80 USD
Ardupilot mega 240.00 rmb = 36 USD
I found Ardupilot Mega + IMU board on (taobao)
I have no idea about quality, sensor or anything else.
Any comments?
I'm testing a wireless wifi IP camera to see if it's possible to integrate in my UAV system.
Yes! I know analogue Wireless video is much easier and cheaper, but I think it's time to see if it's possible to make a long range WiFi video link "Secure".
For my test I will use a standard wireless D-link IP camera Model DCD-2121 and a Wireless Router D-Link DIR-635
The camera got standard 100mW output and I will try boost this with a WiFi Booster 2W. (not legal I know).
Cheap 2W 2.4 Booster from Ebay.
1. Test 640 x 480 pixel and 320 x 240 pixel 30 fps .
Without Booster and with standard Antenna on both Tx & Rx.
Receiver inside living room - going 100M away outside. Able to get 400 Kbps on 100 M range.
2. Test 640 x 480 pixel and 320 x 240 pixel 30 fps
With Booster and standard antenna on both Tx & Rx
Receiver inside living room - going 100M away outside. Able to get 4000 Kbps on 100 M range.
No HD quality I know I don't need it. The test was made with 20 other Wireless nets very near and with poor antenna both Tx and Rx.
Rx should have Patch and/or Yagi antenna.
Results: Booster works great to give better Broadband.
I'm waiting for this Wireless IP video server to arrive (Ebay). With this I can use other video camera + OSD + more suitable for fuselage.
170$ IP video server.
Next test will be made in open field with Yagi and Patch antenna.
New long range module for Turnigy 9X 9Ch Transmitter or other JR Radios.
Long range JR UHF radio system 265 USD
The new UHF RC system is based on Ham band and neighbouring band from 400mhz-470mhz, with the frequency hopping technology and frequency sweeping technology, you never need to worry about losing control of your precious plane.
Have short range trouble? this LRS has a range beyond your imagination. with a bad antenna, you may still get 20km range in the air, and with a super good 1/2 wave length one, you can even get 60km in the air.

Hi All
I worked together with LanyuHobby (RC airplane manufacture) to make a good platform for FPV/UAV flying.
The Fuselage is made in PVC to make it very strong (Blow moulded). Very good and strong for the beatings and landings our planes are getting.
I know it's nearly impossible to make everybody happy, but I think we found a good compromise. (Strong, able to take payload, good space for electronics inside fuselage, platform for autopilot under wing (CG), platform for Vtx behind prop.
Great Mr. Ali made a review of a handmade test version
It need a name, here's some names.
Any suggestions feel free:
Skyview
Skyexplorer
Dragon eye
SKYraptor
FPVraptor
CamEagle
The platform should be ready for sale next month, I think most vendors and maybe hobbyking will be selling the plane.
Price: same level as Skywalker.
Yes! Digital wireless video systems is relative high cost and of cause over budget for most people, but the technology is getting closer to what we can reach in our UAV projects. Lets hope these systems will reach prices we all can handle.
Here is a system who fits perfect in a small UAV.
Receiver case is even made with small 7" TFT screen in a nice strong Case.
