Paul commented on Trent at MyGeekShow's blog post Building the Raptor"Saad,
Dihedral provides lateral/directional stability, which is needed for a stable airplane, but this is not necessary on a flying wing. Flying wings are a bit tricky. Lets discuss longitudinal stability first.
Every wing has a…"

Dude, I like your enthusiasm.
I have some recommendations for you. Go to www.cstsales.com and look at their FeatherCut hot-wire bows. You need to keep the wire very tight to get a smooth wing and not have ripples in the…"
Ahmed Rehan replied to Paul's discussion ArduPilotMega, XBee & OpenLog"I made a 5v regulator from LM2576-5 it is 5 volt 3A switching regulator works very fine with APM no resetting and wide input range. internal regulator on APM either goes into thermal shutdown or reset if you r using gps and xbee and other add…"
Paul commented on Trent at MyGeekShow's blog post The end of my Modular Test Platform and a new direction"Trent, I appreciate you passion for building and flying, but I recommend that you purchase an aircraft design book and do some reading before your next build. Either of the following will get you started and it is what we use in the aerospace…"
Paul replied to Paul's discussion ArduPilotMega, XBee & OpenLog"Problem solved. I was using the 6-12VDC power supply to the APM board (with solder jumper removed), and apparently I was somehow drawing too much current and it reset the on board fuse. I added the solder blob, and powered the APM via…"
Paul replied to Jonathan Challinger's discussion Cannot get logs"I am having a similiar problem. I am using APM 2.22, and everything works great except for when I try to access the logs, my cursor is stuck at the prompt:
"APM Trunk] logs"
Any suggestions?
I tried to go back…"
Paul replied to Paul's discussion ArduPilotMega, XBee & OpenLog"In both locations (ground and air) I cannot use a laptop, that is why I used the OpenLog, and it works quite well. Using the "GCS_PROTOCOL_MAVLINK", I can parse the Binary data after the flight in MatLab no problem.

"All the ground stations can already log that to the hard drive. Why not just use them?"

I am an aerobatic pilot (full-scale Citabria & Pitts S2C) I am trying to create a simple interface for logging my flight data for post flight analysis, and later pulling the data into MatLab and/or Excel. My background is 12yrs aerospace engineering, flight testing (military), with programming in Fortran, MatLab & C/C++.My setup is the following:- DIY Drones Ardupilot Mega Kit (Atmega 2560) + IMU- DIY Drones uBlox GPS Kit- DIY Drones Magnetometer- DIY Drones Wireless Kit (900 MHz)-…See More
Paul replied to Thomas J Coyle III's discussion The Raven Drone"Mark,
Please take a look at the link that I have attached for Johann. we have tried to make the very best design possible for the DIY Drone community, at the very lowest price. The real driver is the material, and we can build a custom material…"
Paul replied to Thomas J Coyle III's discussion The Raven Drone"Johann,
I have been working with some colleagues of mine, and we have put together a design which is specifically targeted at the DIY Drone community. I will make a formal posting in a few days, but here is a pre-release of the…"
Paul replied to Thomas J Coyle III's discussion The Raven Drone"Johann,
Thanks for the reply. I will post some pics at the end of the weekend, after the holiday. I would love to sell several of these and make them as cheap as possible, so needless to say I am interested in your ideas.…"
Paul replied to Thomas J Coyle III's discussion The Raven Drone"Johann,
From my experience, I would recommend a carbon/Kevlar fiber blend. Kevlar is not stiff, but will bend and provide excellent impact strength (this is why bullet-proof vests are made from Kevlar), while carbon is very stiff and…"
Paul replied to Thomas J Coyle III's discussion The Raven Drone"Chris,
I agree with you on the "disposable" view of these "UAV's". I will look at HobbyKing again and consider buying some of their equipement.
As for the XBees, I have isolated mine and I am using mil-spec…"
