About Me:
Just starting in UAV's.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm interested in the commercial use of UAV's - Particularly in Australia where we have slightly more relaxed laws regarding their use.

"I've been thinking about this type of flight myself recently (thinking only...) so I'm really pleased that someone is actually testing these concepts. Has anyone done any research into other equipment that supports multi-master mode?
I know it's…"

"It's not great that your motor failed - but that shot of the prop shooting off into the sunset is priceless! :)"
"Hi Michael, I have spoken to Phil Presgrave at CASA regarding this - he was extremely helpful with information, it seems that CASA is in a bit of a limbo state at the moment - they are (were) currently working on a more formal means of integrating…"
"Absolutely James - the airframe in the videos above is the latest revision of the concept vehicle... It's hard to tell from the videos - but it's of a similar design, the wings are a little less swept, and a little longer than in the renders. I'll…"
I've had my APM for a while now - I got it in December 2010 and had it working basically, but never flew with it. I just started reprogramming and setting it up again and noticed that my first channel output isn't working (even in manual mode)... I…
"Yeah sure. The website has some at www.projectandromeda.com.au but they're a bit outdated. I've got some more at home - I'll upload them tonight. Most of my recent stuff is video - there are some nice ones of our launch system which I'm planning to…"
Over the last few months we have been testing our new hardware, launcher, airframe and autopilot. As the newest member of the team I've been taking responsibility for producing some new videos - the acquisition of a GoPro HD has resulted in some…
I'm interested in producing DEM or pointcloud maps from aerial photos from a UAV.Just wondering if anyone knows of a resource we I can obtain sample photos from aerial platforms so I can look at the software side of things.I'm hoping to implement…
"Thats awesome :) Good luck. Would you be looking to stock XBee modules and boards also? I think the "one stop shop" in Australia would be great.
I love the site design too, very clean and usable."

"I really mss the podcssts too. I would love to volunteer but I'm in Australia so the timezones might be messy. I've got audio production experience and software though, so I wouldn't mind helping out with that if required."
"I don't know if this is related or not, but I'm having an issue with mine at the moment too. When in manual mode I am unable to control the ailerons but if I switch to stabilize it seems to control them fine.
It may or may not be related, and as…"

"I was thinking of making a web based thing like this. Do you think it would be used by the masses to form a comprehensive database?"
"An update for anyone else who might come across a similar challenge.

I have followed the APM manual and successfully got everything working, however the following section baffles me: "If you want to have six modes, you'll probably have to configure your RC transmitter to do this. That's usually accomplished by mixing…
"Thomas - I don't have one in fornt of me just now - but I'm willing to bet that's the default, and therefore exactly what I've done wrong.
I'll let you know how I get on when I try it later.."
