About Me:
I am a hobbyist that loves to integrate the real world with my virtual concepts via drones. If it can be dreamed, I want to try it, provided there is enough capital and time.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Working for Boeing and Airbus as well as consulting for many others in the Aero and Auto feilds, I find UAV's fascinating. After destroying my ARDrone in an emergency shutoff during a fly-away (thanks Wifi) I am rebuilding with KK2, and a Turnigy 9x, keeping it real in the expense department. Update: Bring on the Ardupilot! Flight soon!

"We have implemented elevons on our X8 Quadplane and were wondering if we can have both Elevons and differential spoilers, since we have two servos and control surfaces per side. What would it take to enable this functionality?"

We have a Ping2020 ADS-B Transciever and have run into the issue of not enough ports on the Pixhawk. We have 2 GPS units occupying the GPS and Serial Ports, an i2C daughter board for the second Magnetometer, a 3DR Telemetry radio in Telemetry port…

"Would a file format like this suffice? This is a waypoint dump from my old APM board and they include Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude. I can look up the other variables for you if it would help.
