Hey Dan,
Did you notice Chris Anderson's Blog posts of:
Oct 12, Nov 21, and Nov 30th, relating to things I had been talking about?

Have you had a chance to see the FPV at http://youtube.com/Gabriel2584 yet?

I ended up subscribing to Gabriel2584 because of his series of videos.

Hey Dan,

The blog I have really been following here is the ArduPilotPro. (due out by EndOfYear)
It will come with it's own stabilizor system and does not rely on a third party solution like the FMA.The straight ArduPilot does. (due out any day now)

These sections are now menued above.

I have been getting most of my stuff from Range-video.com.

It's really only for FPV, and DIYDrones is mostly opensource UAV.
Range-video just came out with (and is shipping this week after BIG delay) it OSD (onn-screen-display).
Whats really neat about it is that it has a failsafe using the GPS to return to base. (+ or - your altitude), so supposedly it is back into range of your R/C and you can land it.

I follow the FPV and UAV threads at rcgroups.com alot.

See ya tommorrow.
P.S. I hope to mainden EasyStar 2 on the weekend... the video lock looks good!

The emphasis seems to have shifted (for the time being at least) to the ArduBlimp.
I see Jordi has been doing alot of work there.

I know Chris did not want to interfere with the AttoPilot roll-out, but both seem to have "matured" at the same time, so I could imagine the Blimp is a cool project for the time being for Chris and jordi to have a holiday from the Pilot series'es.

As an underlining in that vein, I see Dean has posted more about that today... I haven't run through them yet.

I almost ordered an Arduino starter pack from Sparkfun last week, but then I hadn't talked to you guys about what would be necessary, and also the final boards for either Ardupilot project would be even better to see out soon.
