I think X2-type helicopters will definitely increase their status in the near future.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-p-3q1nB2Y

Where I live, UAE, we have a lot of those communication towers from the telecom service provider. Depending on the closest tower, the name of the town shows up on the cell phone screen. But for sure if the closest one isn't working, you still…

I think you guys should wait for the HP Slate which will be similar to iPad but running Windows 7. Don't get me wrong, I am an Apple fan ;-)

This will be fun. I think that size and type/configuration mainly depends on type of mission. the first step must be defining mission type and we should be precise and clear on choosing one.

why not add the option to chose between the two options? like the GPS for example : //1-1 #define GPS_PROTOCOL 1 // 0 = NMEA, 1=SIRF, 2=uBlox, 3 = IMU, 5 = Simulated GPS mode (Debug) i don't know if it is possible, just a thought.

If I was in your shoes, I would go about the whole thing in phases: Phase 1: Buy an airplane (Tx + Rx as well) that can carry all of my gear and install the servos and Rx Learn to fly it (if you have not done that yet) and get comfortable to the…

Most of those "3 channel" heli's like you have pictured are completely worthless, even as a toy. It has no swashplate. A "4 channel" heli such as the Blade CX3 may be a reasonable platform if you are so inclined. The…

Helicopters UAV Fans!

I have been thinking about this a while a go and I don't know if it is possible or not. so I am sharing this hoping that it might help you guys achieving your goals maybe. what if we had a helicopter that is similar to the Sikorsky X2 and the controls are as follows: Plane vs. Coaxial Heli. Throttle = the rear "electrical motor" (you can go backwards too) Rudder = upper OR lower rotor rpm elevator = upper AND lower…See More

As a UAV noob, I would never ask a question that might sound stupid unless I've done my homework by searching the forum first for similar questions. I really enjoy building stuff myself rathar than buying it ready as glup-n-play. Specially if…

Hooks, Are you selling the whole thing togather? Or is it possible to buy only the autopilot system(ArduPilot, GPS,FMA sensors, FTDI cable)?

ArduPilot performance in bad weather

I want to buy an ardupilot to fit it in my easy glider.The weather where I live is dusty almost 10-8 months along the year. Also the temperature is very hot during summer time.I am concerned about how well the ardupilot will preform in this type of weather. (The horizon isn't clear)Should I go with ardupilot or uavdevboard? Or should I wait for ardupilot mega?I should say that I've never worked on an autopilot before.Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.See More

Ahmed, I'm using WingLaengs4 to calculate the CG of my flying wings. Furthermore it calculates the wing area that I use to estimate the wing load of the finished design. I haven't tried it with multiple wing configurations but what I've read the program seem to do it's job quiet well.
