Of course, I found this thread after posting about the manual somewhere else. When I click on "Using a Flight Simulator," I get the following error message: "Your client does not have permission to get URL /p/ardupilot/w/edit/FlightSim from this se…

Victor, You might try contacting the Acadamy of Model Aeronautics for info on legalities. Even though that's a US-based organization, they assisted Maynard Hill in his trans-Atlantic flight of an autonomous model airplane, which flew from Canada to…

About Me:
Long time R/C enthusiast. Fascinated with UAVs. Knew that homemade UAVs were possible based on Maynard Hill's transatlantic flight, but had no idea how far along the DIY community has come in the meantime. Incredible.

To anyone who landed here from the link on my own web site, have a look around DIY Drones. I think you'll be amazed at what you find. It might not happen soon, but I hope to build my own DIY UAV at some point.

DIYDrones Gets Nod in IEEE Spectrum Magazine

On the other hand, anyone not proactively looking might see something that would interest them. Still, if the moderators would prefer I not post these when I come across them, just let me know. Thanks.… Continue

Hi Paul,

I notice you live in Prior Lake, MN. I'm up in Circle Pines. All my gear is ripped apart right now after traveling to do a demo, but when I get it all back together and if we have a nice day at some point, I'd be happy to show you my setup in action.

Curt.
