I presume you've already reviewed the code here? http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A731
You'll have to modify it for you own purposes, but it sounds like you've got *most* of what you need.
However you can't use a Basic Stamp and a single accelerometer for stabalization. Doing that is a huge job, involving three accelerometers, gyros, a much more powerful CPU than a Basic Stamp along with some of the trickiest coding you can imagine. The plane in the link above uses a commerical FMA co-pilot for stabalization, leaving the Basic Stamp for the much easier job of navigation.
If you get a FMA co-pilot, the rest of what you've got should be enough to achieve autonomous flight.

Chris,
That link ends up forwarding to http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/list
The GeoCrawler 4 link on the main page does the same thing...

um no i haven't read the code *big mistake* well i saw your article in the make magazine and i was going to do this for a science project before i saw the article so it told me that i wasn't alone and inspired me . "now i don't have to check on cows or water (very much) ! yessss" thank you very much!! -------rad man

Just click on the "GeoCrawler 4" link on the front page.

Chris the GeoCrawler 4 link doesn't work either.

Sorry, I accidentally set that post to limited access. Now it should be open to all.

Welcome RadMan.
I see the biggest issue fashioning the chip in to an aerodynamic shape....
I've found that making a UAV is a large undertaking (I've been building mine for the last year on and off) but don't let that dissuade you - It is well worth the effort. Go slow, and step by step. Because you'll be the inventor, you'll need to know each of the parts and pieces inside out, from the RC plane to the electronics and code. Just take it a piece at a time, add one feature at a time, andI'm sure you'll do fine.
Post you progress here!
Paul

Thank you very much well it wont be started until this x-mas......Maybe. Also i should be able to get away with making a clear thin layer of plastic where the GPS should go and recess it like...(excuse the crude illustration)
