"Hey Miguel, how's it going?
I bought the first parts of my quad. I got the 4 motors and ESCs from HobbyKing. Soon I'll get the gyros and accs.
One thing I've got to look into is the TX/RX... I have an "old" Futaba T6XA. Do…"

Miguel COLLADOS commented on Gian Carlo M.'s blog post New Project: Quadcopter - first hover, then OSD, FPV, UAV... the works..."Yeap, you are right, this seems quite complicate. And on top of that it will be dificult to understand the readings from the accelerometers during the transition from hovering to flight mode and viceversa... will be sufficient with the gyro data or…"
Miguel COLLADOS replied to Gian Carlo M.'s discussion Tilt Rotor Quadcopter for FPV/OSD/UAV"@ Gian Carlo: In my opinion if we use the motors for yaw the battery will be emptyed more quickly than with a rudder, but for big turnings, just spinning up two motors and spinning down the other side ones it should work.
@ Xander: You are right, we…"
Miguel COLLADOS replied to John_Mac's discussion Discussion of application of UAV Dev Board to CCPM RC Helicopters"Concerning the OSD, here you can see a video and some information: http://alai.h3m.com/~s0350672/catalogo/product_info.php?cPath=43_63&products_id=361 (how do you create a link here?)
And this is the FPV…"
Miguel COLLADOS replied to borneobear's discussion Altitude Hold for RC Helis"In my opinion the best is to use an ultrasonic altimeter up to 16meter, then the GPS shall do the work."
Miguel COLLADOS commented on Gian Carlo M.'s blog post New Project: Quadcopter - first hover, then OSD, FPV, UAV... the works..."@ Gian Carlo: I agree with you
@ Xander: Thanks for the link to Old Man Mike's, it's really a good job!
I never checked how long the hely will fly when fully loaded of batteries, but if you do so it will loose maneovrability and speed, so…"
Miguel COLLADOS replied to Gian Carlo M.'s discussion Tilt Rotor Quadcopter for FPV/OSD/UAV"When hovering it doesn't need anything extra, the stability is provided by the processor by the means of accelerometers and gyros. But for fast forward flying it definitivelly needs a kind of rudder; at high speeds the differential thrust of…"
Miguel COLLADOS commented on Gian Carlo M.'s blog post New Project: Quadcopter - first hover, then OSD, FPV, UAV... the works..."Hi everybody,
Based on my personal experience (I own an X-UFO and a few model helicopters e.g. Trex 450V2) I can tell you that if you want speed and battery life you need a helicopter. If you want just hover take some pictures, see the neigbourhood…"
Miguel COLLADOS replied to John_Mac's discussion Discussion of application of UAV Dev Board to CCPM RC Helicopters"Concerning telemetry, may be I could help:
For my FPV I am using an OSD wich sends telemetry back to me (current consuption, battery voltage, distance to home, heading, altitude, gps speed..) by te means of a 500mW video transmitter so I can see it…"
Miguel COLLADOS replied to John_Mac's discussion Discussion of application of UAV Dev Board to CCPM RC Helicopters"Hi everybody,
I am new in this pages, I found you by chance when searching for imus with 6 dof. I am very interested on this proyect, and I will like to contribute if possible.
I've been flying RC models for a while (planes & heli) at this…"

One thing I've got to look into is the TX/RX... I have an "old" Futaba T6XA. Do you think it does the job? I am worried about interference since I plan on flying on one of the most "electromagnetic-poluted" areas in São Paulo, near huge TV and Cell Phone transmission towers.
