I was wondering what to expect as a minimum cost for a bare bones UAV, either copter or fixed-wing.
"very nice. it seems to work well, and is a nice way to save time and, more importantly, $$$."
"hey, is anybody willing to advise me as to how to fix my rover/car?
it ran into a piano and the RC receiver/controller circuits are non-functional now. (it will not respond to signals)
the motors are fine, it's just the RC circuits. I've been…"

"this is something you shouldn't do to a poor, innocent quadcopter! (lol)
(or a cat), nevertheless, it looks awesome, and he knows which way is the front :)"

"for this, what microcontroller are we using? arduino? or is there something better control-wise for A CNC?"
In a copter, Is there a formula for how much lift is generated by a prop, or are there normally stats for how much upwards thrust is generated for a prop at a certain RPM range? or is this just trial and error.Now that I understand motors (or at…
what do they do?are they needed?Isn't arming/disarming them a pain?how should they be used?how many do I need?any other information would be great
where do I start?what should I do?I have no idea, because I'm scratch-building my own quad as soon as I figure out how. any tips/ideas would be appreciated
"would this be a task for a 32-bit ARM processor, or would something better be required?"
"looks like they did it!
spaceX is truely one of the most awesome companies in the world, since the government has given up on anything outside the atmosphere, these guys (and others like them) seem to be the last hope for american spaceflight."

"officially, I've heard about 10 hours
though, they cheated and used laser pointers focused on a solar panel on the bottom of the copter.
I beleive for self-contained power is less than an hour"

"good luck with your APM-ify-ing, looks cool"
"anybody?
Is this because I didn't give specific info, or people don't like sharing tips, or there are no real tips to speak of...
I was hoping that I wouldn't have to go into this blindly.
I'm not just interested in the frame, but this seems to be…"
