"Just what I need for my servo driven scanner, but some easily fixed hardware problem remain - how do you mount it on anything? Odd shape. No lugs or screw holes. Which way does the lead come out that facilitates mounting? Is there any means of cable…"
"Oh come on !!
That's Marylin Monroe.
Just Google "Marylin Monroe + drones""

"Colton,
I have built a number of aircraft from this manufacturer.
Do not take the parts that are supplied as a guide as to how to assemble the aircraft.
You must depend on your own capability in building a large RC aircraft. By all means use some of…"

"CanberraUAV at CMAC....Sure, we started off small. Now, we have installed solar powered electrics with a security system, webcam of the field (see weathercam on http://www.cmac.org.au/default.htm ), clubhouse lighting, and a LiPo battery charging…"
"Purely from a rank amateur engineer's point of view, it looks as though the moment of inertia of the assembly in pan is at the heart of the matter. The length of the tilting motor beside the landscape mounted camera takes alot of torque in the…"
"Surely the Flarm system http://www.flarm.com/ is well enough established to fulfil this purpose.
Only aircraft performing doing work below 500 ft outside controlled airspace would have to carry it.
The unit is not too big to be carried on bigger…"

"The technology you require has already been developed and is in use in anti-poaching applications in Africa.
In Australia we have just had the Outback Challenge where a lost bushwalker is searched for in a 1 by 2 km area, 5km from the airfield. Most…"

"Good shot of your LiPo burn in the mat there too Tridge !!"
"So, not all motors can be reversed. Interesting.
Ours was supplied from Desert Aircraft already reversed.

I am just a weekend hack pilot, and I could only land our Muginn (version 1) on our 120 metre mat when all the ducks lined up, and the engine kept running well enough to do a long high alpha approach. I was…"

"Well then Scott, google hacker groups and see if there is one near you. A 3D printer is a "must have" for a real hackerspace. If they have been around longer than my group it is most likely they will have a mature solution with a number of people…"
"My local Hackerspace (from which CanberraUAV was spawned) purchased an open source 3D printer - the RepRap Pro Huxley, and used a collation of free open source software. I watched in fascination on the sidelines, waiting for something routine and…"
"What a shame.
Surely you have enough runs on the board with this and similar enough aircraft to enter your D3!
Still, we have found how difficult it all is. We have been flying in such winds and cold that Joe would not have got out of bed to go…"

"Hi John,
I see you are into flying a Mugin.
I am in a group preparing for the Outback Challenge. See CanberraUAV.com We were donated a Mugin by Cyber Technology in Perth. I think they obtained the plane before it was marketed as it is now, because…"

"Hi John,
We, www.canberrauav.com/, were donated with a Mugin by http://www.cybertechuav.com.au/ from Western Australia.
I made these comments about the Mugin on another thread.
"We are flying the Mugin from 2000 ft. With 4.5 kilos on the nose just…"
