About Me:
Plenty of time on the R/C plane simulator and I've learnt to fly the real thing (R/C that is). Built my trainer from a kit and currently working on putting together my first low wing kit.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I've gotten interested through following UAV Outback Challenge online.

Interesting. With the long boom, the motor behind the CG and most of the battery weight there too I would have thought the CG would have be well aft of what they recommend as the appropriate position - 78mm from the leading edge if memory…"

"Hi Wayne. Hope your Easy Star build is going okay.
The plane's CG is a bit of a balancing act. You'll need to try and redistribute weight to maintain the CG of your plane. For the Easy Star that's not necessarily easy (no pun intended) and as you…"

"Al,
Did you do a "compass on" from the setup menu? I was having similar troubles - could test the compass using the code from the examples folder but kept getting a compass disabled message from the APM 2.x software. Then I discovered I needed to…"

"My understanding of it is, you should be right as long as the pitot tube is not affected by disturbed air flowing around the fuselage (or wing) of your plane. So keep it a little away from the plane's body wherever you put it. That's why its toward…"
First successful datalogging flight (27 March 2011)of my APM + OilPan Rev H mounted in my OS46AX powered nitro trainer.
"Folks, here's my recent experience with putting an APM on a nitro plane. Its mounted in my OS46AX powered trainer and it looks like its working quite well. Tried doing some datalogging a couple of weeks ago but stuffed it up. Today was much better.…"

You certainly have access to most of the sensors you would need to do an INS for the glider. A pressure sensor for measuring the depth of the dive would probably be useful. If your hull compresses during the dive you might be able to do it…"
