Have always been into boats and cool gadgets. Was into robots for many years, then RC airplanes for a year and a half, now I want to make robot airplanes. Seems the next logical step.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I'm sure I'm not the only one that caught the Flite Test video a few days ago about "Flite Fest". Is anyone going?? I'm looking into driving 9hours to be there with a carload of RC gear, and would REALLY like to see some Drones! Maybe…
"That's exactly what its saying. Or you could map the other stick, or both sticks for that matter."
My flight buddy Jon had a great idea on using the APM with the 9XR to be able to pan/tilt with the same stick that you normally drive with. It would only work while the APM is flying, but its a pretty simple setup. http://youtu.be/sASY__yLxD0
"Thanks, Chris!!
I got it fired up now. I had to do that, as well as the ESC calibration. Now I have to wait for Missouri to thaw a bit, and get it out of my dining room to try it out!"

"I'm setting up a Tri-copter for the first time. Ho do you wipe the EEPROM and clear the logs?? I'm having th exact same problem, and have already done all the rest.
Thanks,

"Geofencing = uncrashable mode?? So, I just got my APM 2.5 up and running. So far, I have used Stabilize, Training, and Loiter. And it was awesome! I have some kids AND friends that would like to learn to fly. I can't help but notice that…"
I got this for my ORIGINAL Ardupilot, now known as "Legacy", but never got it all together. I have the controller, and two sensors, plus cabling. $35.00 shipped in the lower 48 US. Still have original box and directionsPM me for pics or more…
"Now those two, I have seen before. I keep ALMOST getting into SPAD designs, but at a dollar a sheet, foamboard is just as comfortable as an old pair of jeans at this point. LOL!"
"Glad to hear you're in the air! How do you like the swappable series? Its a great way to do things. I just haven't gotten the gear crashed out of all my half-done hangar projects yet. LOL!"
" Any idea what the specs on that battery and motor are? Sounds like you're wanting to build something more substantial than a trainer. I fly mostly 3S, and some 2S.
I have always recommended the BluBaby AP1 for drones, or learning RC. Its…"

" This is no different than "guns don't kill people, PEOPLE kill people." Someone has to take the tech and steer it towards some evil end. You can use a gun to get food, to defend yourself against evil does, OR.... to knock off a liquor store. I…"
A report on my images of local flooding. I haven't gotten an autopilot up and running yet, but am about to install auto-stabilization. Even with the footage I got, the local web news site was happy to get it. Video here.
"Hi,
I got your message about the spar. I used two CF arrow shafts joined together for one ginormous spar. I get them USED for less than a dollar a piece from a local archery guy."

"Ok, in the case of the guys "plane-pooling", is the pilot contributing his share by operating the craft? It clearly states "anything of value". I had considered trading farmers for foods they sell at the local farmers market, but DANG, Big…"
