About Me:

Interested in developing Converging/Merging Technologies as hobby and science


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Rotary is primary interest, dual or tri-rotor with optics/RF and other sensors. Interested in heavier 25cc - 35cc gas engine powered vehicles

William Bishop commented on Chris Anderson's blog post DARPA creating its own DIY Drones--"UAVForge"!!!
"The best way for the USG to turn a public open source group into a gov controlled limited access program is to get the guys with the most input, best ideas and skills (ie; HK GCS and many more here) in their deceitful game.  Great pretext to draw…"

Me again... I appreciate the patience and help that several of you have put out in my cries for FNG help.I can't find any good info on why I was told that a IC engine quad rotor with collective pitch rotors would not be able to respond quickly…

"Does anyone know where to find the supposed Dos and Don'ts regulating onboard electronics for sUAS?
I have a question about certain types of radio equipment to be used on mine.  A wideband receiver that reports GPS data (coords and time), frequency…"

Can anyone help me with solutions on controlling blade tip speed?I used a calculator that Mr. Schmid recommended (http://www.ecalc.ch/helicalc_e.htm?ecalc) and finally found a combination that may work for the weight I want to lift.I get a message…

"I'm surprised at the lack of experience...or willingness to share.
There has to be someone on board here that knows the rotors.............."

William Bishop replied to Jeremy K.'s discussion New Project, looking for a partner or 2 to design and build UAV for community surveillence
"A gas engine variable pitch prop ArduQuad would fit the bill....
The future will have it reading the power/water meters (a UAV ..I mean UAS can cover more terrain in a hour than a man driving and walking can in a day), taking over routine patrol…"
