Hello,I have been looking at various autopilots to add to my collection but I have one less common issue. I fly all winter and its not unusual for me to fly at -20C. I have been playing with the…Continue

Sorry for the lack of updates (and lack of options file), weather has been beautiful here and I've been spending my time flying and working on other projects and not posting.  I spent a little more time working with my gain values and have…

Ahhhh, Many thanks Bill!  I will update MPLAB tonight and try again.  Thanks for the tip, I probably would have spent a few hours banging my head against the wall before finding that out.   Thanks again! Curt

Hi Curt, MatrixPilot 3.0 was built using the latest version of the Microchip compiler (v3.25). Microchip made some changes that will cause a linker error if you use newer MatrixPilot versions with older versions of the compiler. There are two…

Thanks guys, I tried loading in the new firmware last night but my compiler is failing on the linking step with the 3.0 firmware.  I'll look more closely into that in the coming days but I did have another very successful flight with the…

UAV Devboard Funjet

After spending the last year or so experimenting with the UAV devboard on my larger flying wings I decided to spice things up a bit.  I had a funjet with a gopro mounted to the nose that I used for FPV.  Last summer it took a nasty crash when I lost radio signal (2.4ghz) and smashed the nose up really well.  Over the winter I rebuilt the…See More

Nice presentation but defiantly not something that going to last a considerable time in the field.  I could see large use of this for oilfield applications (similar to my line of work) but some sort of landing net might be a better idea.…

I agree Scott! Maiden Flight: Last weekend I decided it was time to see how the stability and waypoint functions worked in the air. After flying around in manual mode (super easy to fly, definatly my most stable wing yet!) to achieve yaw lock I…

Morli, thankyou for the compliments and insights! I will secure the GPS lead before flying. A motor pod fairing may be in the wings future. Gary, Yes sir, thankfully the wing is also Gene's design so the pods he builds are directly compatible…

Thanks! I actually got the center ABS pod from Centexflyer, he runs a SAR service out of the states using wings (http://www.rpflightsystems.com/MainPage.html), they have some amazing looking wing! The winglets are slightly larger then I originally…

Sentinel V2

Here is the successor of my previous wing. Basically the same as the old design with a new ABS molded center pod. It will be flying with the UAV devboard and now that the snow is finally melting in my field and I have the newest version of matrix pilot loaded, I will be doing some walk around tests tonight. I will have to work with the gain values but so far everything looks to be functioning correctly.

I built this one as my primary flier. Loads of room with tons of power and totally modular! Should work as a very nice UAV platform.



More details over in the build log on rcgroups:…
