About Me:
333 Exemption holder for operating fixed wing aircraft with a background in manned aviation. Recently returned from a 3 months stay in Panama for operating UAS aircraft for the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. Always looking for new experiences!
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I have been developing fixed wing and multirotor aircraft for work in mapping. Just completed a new 2-axis fixed wing uav ortho mapping gimbal at www.skyviewcustoms.com

"Hey Tridge,
It now works! Thank you so much for taking the time to fix this. I tested it with and without joystick with success.
Thanks again,
Ryan "

"Great work Tridge! I am working on getting this going and seem to have an issue with the throttle not responding properly. I have confirmed that my joystick works correctly while not in SITL. When in SITL the throttle bouncing from target throttle…"
"Just a few hours ago we flew with a Pixhawk and raspberry pi connected to an OceanOptics spectrometer. The Pi was mounted about 15 cm below the Pixhawk and we didn't experience any issues."
"Looks good so far. I look forward to see how this project shapes up."
"Looks like a great value to me!"
"Hey Koen, I am not in the Boson area (KY) but if you are willing to ship the sheets I might be able to cut them. PM if you would like to discuss details. Ryan"
"I am working on a mapping specific multirotor gimbal and hope to have a finished prototype very soon."
"Hey Madhu,
I don't have any immediate plans to build a brushless design unless more people express interest. The idea behind the servo driven gimbal is to keep it relatively simple and light weight. Most flight controllers are capable of…"

"David that is correct. I have gimbal prototypes that would position the camera with the top facing forward. The prototypes are too large to fit in the skywalker airframe without major modifications. They would be good for a larger aircraft maybe a…"
"Hey David, this is Ryan from Skyviewuav. I am in the middle of a move and upgrading equipment. I hope to start production in a couple of weeks and hope to have new designs available after that. I apologize for this inconvenience!"
"The carbon tail skywalker can carry a Sony NEX series camera with camera gimbal."
"I would've liked to attend this meeting. Unfortunately I'm moving from Burlington VT to Lexington Kentucky on July 31. I work with camera gimbals for mapping and wouldve been interested in hearing other experiences."
"Richard, I only have my phone paired to Bluetooth for "listening" and the laptop connected to the FTDI cable via USB for TX and RX. IF you try to connect the TX on the BT and Laptop mission planner doesn't work."
"The FTDI cable is for the connection to Mission Planner and also the 5V. You could eliminate the FTDI and power with a separate battery. It would then be similar to the Event 38 setup. I just find it easier to have my laptop at the field for…"
"It really doesn't take much to build the connection.
