And once more I am amazed....I still want to know who IRL Major Marcy is...

I believe it is but it has the "wire" antenna I would go for the one with the RPSMA so you can screw on an antenna:

They are out of stock of the 10mile range version at both Sprkfun and the Diydrons store. If you decide to buy new try http://store.digi.com/
I picked one up this morning.

I love that fact the sUAS are "clogging the NAS"...I had to swot five quads and three fixed wings just getting out the front door this morning...,
Rory Paul commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post 'Perhaps not the best news for UAS in the NAS, in the USA well private ones anyway.'
I would welcome rules but I have the horrible feeling that after seeing Ted Wierzbanowski work on ARC 1.0 those rules will just favor AV and their quest to put a sUAS in evey cop car while keeping everybody else out of the game for as long as…

@Gareth you do not have problems with packages...since Postnet introduced its RdOW policy (Redistribution of Wealth) you simply do not get packages...anyway if they tossed it over the fence the Boerboel with just eat it..

NPR piece on DIY Drones
Posted on March 14, 2011 at 5:30pm 2 Comments 2 Likes
Last month Chris and I were interviewed by Carrie Kahn from NPR West regarding drone use.
The report is unfortunately a bit of an anti climax (see link). I really tried very hard to present our community as progressive, safety aware innovators and the main theme of the…

Continue Old Flying Wing UAV prototype?

Can anybody shed any light on this flying wing? Came across it at our local airfield in a hangar and am tempted to see if the owner would part with it.

(Sorry if this is a re-post)
This is not the complete document it only pertains to AMA / model aircraft aspects of the proposed rules.
According to a statement from the president of the AMA a full document can be found here however I cannot locate anything.

Some Tracks and Video

Flight 070409, Duration 15 minutes, winds gusting South to North
Below is a track in Google Earth of a recent flight....doing some modification testing on the airframe and some tweaking of the autopilot. Flight was "slightly" above AMA guidelines but as I had the field to myself for the afternoon I took the liberty.
Here is a video of the flight. The footage is boring so I sped it up.(about 45mb)...… Continue

wayne garris said… - wayp.txt
this is my way point file , it is laoded into a single array in the EEPROM during program down load i can then access the data by refering to its position in the array lets call the array "way_point"
ie .... x = way_pont(1,1)
would read you the first lat,
y = way_point(2,1)
would load the first lon,
ect..

Thanks for the links and the advice!, big help! Resolution isn't so much of an issue really. I just need to be able to pick out people from deer, cattle and the occasional irate badger. "Irate badger" seems a bit redundant now that I think about it. Anyway, thanks again.

Simon Butterworth said… - Hi Condor,
At this stage we haven't decided on an AP, we have just started test flying the aircraft under manual control until we are happy with the design. This aircraft was built and designed by myself.

I know you changed your avatar to protest the fact that only Australia and Canada seem to give UAVs the respect they deserve, but I worry that Canada will soon fall in goosestep (sic) with the US with their paranoid, retrictive climate.

- Condor,
Thank-you for the inquiry.
The object in question is an off-the-shelf Police Radar Unit

- Condor,
Thank-you for the interest. I have not posted anything on my Sites at this time. The airframes are still under development. The 16 foot wing you see is undergoing cost-reduction evaluation. The plan is to offer a low-cost reconfigurable airframe which could be configured in the field to suit the mission.

- Yes, the 2028 looks really great but ouch !! will have to find a way to have it funded as equipment for a project ;-)

Dean said… - Hi Condor - the answer is "neither". AttoPilot uses a special design XY and Z horizon sensor, and the raw data is used directly by AttoPiot. I have a royalty agreement with FMA as my usage falls under their patent.
