Ok, I can honestly say, that I would never even attempt this with Arducopter.
Check out the AeroQuad website, if you're interested in learning more.
Which Flight Controller Drives this Quad?
Posted on April 22, 2012 at 9:00pm 10 Comments 0 Likes
This is a pretty large quadcopter. I wonder what flight controller they are using. Would it be great if we can get Arductoper branding on this? Definitely need custom code for the heavy lifting.
Iran Cracks RQ-170 Stealth Drone Code.

Yee haw! Save your money boys and girls. Looks like Iran may be going into the flight controller business soon. Once commercialized, the RQ-170 based flight controller should outperform DJI, and Arducopter. Maybe even give Mikrokopter a run for its money.

Hi Ellison,
The camera used was a Canon 5D MarkII 21MP. The lens was a 16-35m F/2.8@F3.5
14 second exposure at iso 3200.

Hi Ellison,
well not to sure what you are asking re the use of foam - The wings on GUPPY are CNC foam cut and then vacuum bagged with Fglass, as are the horizontal stabs and vertical stab/rudder. The fuselage is 'wood' and that is the BEST medium for the rough and tough bush work we do - you can repair it anywhere, anytime, with some bits of wood, Cyno, epoxy, etc. Nice molded fuz is glamorous, great to look at, costly to make, and does not add any value to performance in the hard environment we work in. So, Foam has its place for wings - to much work to make many ribs, etc, but fuz, use wood!
Regards
Joe
