Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

UAV's are the future. I am mainly interested in working with fly-by-wire algorithms.

hovercycle commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Good-looking VTOL project on Kickstarter
"I love seeing this type of stuff! I always think about the Ryan X-14 and the XFY Pogo and how cool those designs would have been with more advanced avionics and of course, electric engines in the case of the Pogo... "

"The AMA sent out a notice to the Minneapolis area last year via email... When Barrack came to town. The defined airspace was also 30 miles in radius."

hovercycle commented on Chris Anderson's blog post ScanEagle model kit with 63" wingspan
"I'm all about the drone look. So it shouldn't be that hard. I like the petite duc. I found it years ago when checking out this rc plane that looked like a longEZ called the Griffin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eepe0Eh5EXY&feature=player_embed..."

hovercycle commented on Chris Anderson's blog post ArduPilot (Legacy) main page
"Will the Futaba T6EX FASST radio/receiver work with arduopilot? I don't think it has an additional proportional aux control as called for in the above text. But before I go and sell it I want to know if it will work. Also, given the back-order…"

"I saw a nice cub at the flying field last weekend. It looked pretty real. Now these private heli's are not getting messed with? Fly high and fake em; Just use a larger scale plane(*cough* 30LBS ).

If you can get a high rate of success then the…"

"Not if we jam em; hehehe I was looking at how nice and polished those optics are.
The real deal is an adaptable network with a battery of 100kW lasers. How would

hovercycle commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Has anyone here successfully built and flown a Paparazzi autopilot?
"I made my decision based on what I read...
I'm going to give this a serious shot!

Well I want a bigger plane! so hopefully I can spend
less time…"
