Getting there

Posted by Mark Williams on January 22, 2014 at 6:00am

I made three test flights today with my Bixler 2 UAV. I have an IXUS 220 HS installed in the fuselage which is operated remotely using the gear switch on the transmitter.

A 3D model of the field I was testing over can be seen below. The model is far from perfect as I was piloting the aircraft manually. I am waiting on an APM board at the moment and this should definitely improve things.

I've uploaded a short video about the set up to YouTube

Hey Mark, Looks promising! how did you mount the camera on bixler and what's the software that you have used in postprocessing the images?
