I enjoy designing 3d models, programming, and robotics.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I've built a single tricopter, and hot-wired a flying wing.

"Hmmm. Magnetic induction charging is a good idea.... I'll have to look in to it. The LEDs would probably have to flash in a specific pattern to be usable for fog and rain. "

"OK. I found this thread in rcgroups explaining how to make a folded wing, and several others.
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=864761
However, these folded wings seem to only be used with 3d planes. Anyone know why? Are they…"

"Well, you could take a servo and make a "bomb drop" system to drop the leaflets.
For instructions, simply search "bomb drop rc"."

declan ross replied to Ryan's discussion What's best, most affordable way to get live video feed from uav gopro?
"This depends on what kind of range you want.
If you want miles and miles of range, go with a 1.3 ghz fpv system, or, like rob said, get some kind of rtf 5.8ghz fpv system, like the fatshark predator."

"I don't have mobile application skills, sorry. 
I can definitely build auto-charging stations, though."

"Yes, I am interested in pitching in (I don't have much money, however).
I was thinking of some kind of docking adapter for the drones to charge, that you would land on and would start your charge automatically. This could be a few sheets of aluminum…"

declan ross replied to Johan Brand's discussion The right wing size
"Well, keep the wing-loading in mind when designing a plane. Too high, and the plane will be hard to control and have a high stall speed. Too low, and the plane will be overly affected by wind.
Explanation of wingloading and how to calculate here:…"

"Awesome idea!
I would definitely use them if they were in my area, mainly for battery recharging.
I would also consider being a hive keeper. "

"The 2.4 ghz fpv system could possibly interfere with the 2.4 ghz rc link-be careful when you are using the two together."

Anyone know if it's possible to build an Armin wing from 3 or 6mm epp?
