"Hey monroe!! I just came across this project, this is so fucking cool. Is there any updates?
also, what legal hoop did you hop through for high altitude flights? I'm trying to return an autonomous glider from 100,000 feet (weather balloon), we…"

"Thanks David! Hopefully we can see the end of it.
To Pepper, that doesn't surprise me at all. Right now i'm reacing out to spaceports and other airports of such to see if we can do a launch there. We're first going to go for Class E airspace…"

This project aims to autonomously return a glider from a high altitude balloon (100,000 feet). I just wrapped up “proof of concept” autonomous glides dropped from a hexacopter. We’re ready for 18,000 foot class E flight testing, pending how our…
So, I started this project 2 years ago. Not cutting my hair until i finish it.The High Altitude Balloon Return project aims to return a flying wing autonomously from a 100,000 feet. There's a lot of challenges associated with this. I tried to make…
On the sixth installment of my project log, I finally get some test flights off with the flight controller i started to make from an arduino 101.Up until this point, we barely had the aircraft gliding. This week I decided to add some methods, and…
So, the manual I have states a solid green LED means that the two radios are connected to each other. On Mission planner, i've gone ahead and done the radio setup as well, and it's confirmed that its saved the two settings on both of the…

"I was under the impression that roll and pitch would operate like torque. Put the control surfaces further out from the pivot point and you have more authority. Increase the surface area, and you would increase your force or pressure acting at that…"
"You definitely could! The Sr-71's flown pretty high, and a bunch of airplanes have flown above 100,000 feet. Just increase control surface area + airspeed, and at some point you'd definitely be able to control the aircraft. It isnt if we can or if…"
"I would've loved this years ago. You guys have a number for the price yet? I'm guessing this is going to be quite pricey though right? FLIR cameras themselves are expensive to begin with. "
"Got it. Just posted there as well, awaiting approval. Out of etiquette, do I erase this post?"
Our High Altitude Balloon (HAB) project aims to return the electronics on board a weather balloon autonomously instead of drifting away on a parachute. My Project Log series aims to provide short sweet and to the point updates to said project. Heres…
"Great advice! Thank you, i'm new here though. How do I post as a news item?"
Our High Altitude Balloon (HAB) project aims to return the electronics on board a HAB autonomously. Traditionally, weather and HAB's return electronics safely to the ground via parachute, but this obviously steers waaaayy off from the launch site…
I'm new to Arduplane, but is it possible to have an aircraft be a pure glider (no motor)? How would I set it up to work this way? I'll be sending a high altitude balloon up to film the eclipse this monday, and I want to return the cameras via…
So, my motors do not get any signal at all. They just "beep" to signify no signal being received. If i hook them up to my receiver they can calibrate, work, etc just fine.Currently I have the positive and negative ends removed and only hook up the…
