About Me:
Im a mechanical engineer attending Brigham Young University - Idaho. I love anything with a micro controller. I also fly rc planes
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm interested in Autonomous navigation, I eventually want to build a quad copter to autonomously navigate an indoor obstacle course with pre programmed maneuvers, so it not only looks awesome, but is highly functional

"cool idea, but i might reconsider the cloth cockpit......."
"I have the same problem and my graphics card is an ati mobility 9000 running windows xp. its prob just a compatibility issue"
"it'd be cool to have an arducopter version of this magnitude; I think i'd want to sit in it as well =)"
"This is GREAT! thanks man i can now run mission planner on linux"
"I noticed the er9x page mentioned some hardware mods to make the ardupilot version work. is that strictly for on controller telemetry purposes, or something else?"
"great job APM dev team, It's already loaded on my board =)"
"Wake turbulence is a big issue for planes. In a fluid dynamics class I took, we talked about a jet liner that flipped over while it was landing and was completely due to wake turbulence from another plane. I guess i never considered its effect while…"
"I would love to see a mobile app like this for Android. Looks like you went the route of GS via lab view, am I correct?"
"Interesting concept Denny. So when you say your flying the camera and the UAV follows, your camera angle stays constant while the UAV maintains some kind of balance? you should post a video I'd really like to see what you mean"
"that's cool they're already integrating this with ROS. I wonder why MAVLink is limited to 8 miles? I know theres an Xbee module with a 40 mile range, but maybe it has to do with something else, like time lag, or maybe the signal gets garbled from…"
"I wonder if you could implement full ROS via telemetry and some kind of fpv setup for computer vision. You could even use the MAVLink protocol for in flight two way communication. Having CV on a mobile platform like a UAV would make for an awesome…"
"ROS is extremely powerful. It would be quite a feat to add this to the list of APM's capabilities."
"These little planes are awesome! true, they're probably not for beginners, but there's always some kind of learning curve with every new plane. if you go to the website there's a bunch more videos, namely one where a guy launches from his hand over…"
For those of you looking for an inexpensive way to implement your favorite uav platform, I found this plane called the Mugi evo (shown above). The plane is built from twin wall polypropylene sheeting and is very cheap to build. After seeing the…
"That's epic man! I know what I'm getting for my birthday."
"That vid was totally awesome! good work guys, I cant wait for the 2.0 release"
