"Sounds great! I would definitely be interested if they come up for sale. Cheers, Sam"

"Hi folks, Here is a quad update. I am doing some work on the side making models in blender etc. for making concept demo movies or just for design…"

"Room: N232 - Engineering North. Here are some pictures for your review. http://whatnicklife.blogspot.com/2010/02/4-channel-50hz-pwm-in-arduino.html Cheers, Tisham."

"That sound great! I'll defiantly have to come have a chat and check it out... I'll be in touch, Sam"

"We will need 4 more servos to tilt the rotors and a lot of fiddling , but yes it can be done."

"Could it be something like the canard version of the v-22 osprey? http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods/1/11/10661/thumb_620x2000/v44-1.jpg I've been toying around with the idea for a while, but I haven't put much thought into it."

"Hey Sam, I must be down he hall in the electrical engineering department. We are also making a quadcopter, basic no swash plate tilting. We have plenty of experience in coding and a lot of the parts. 1) Carbon fibre frame 2) 4 BLDC motor + ESC 3)…"

"Hi Sam, Regarding the GPS LED...the roll-pitch-yaw demo, MatrixNav, and AileronAssist run the GPS in binary mode, so the LED goes out. The self testing firmware, which you can download from the UAV DevBoard home page, runs the GPS in NMEA mode. So…"

"Hi Bill, Thanks for the pointers in the other thread. After playing around with the files you linked there, I tried the copies from my MPLAB install and everything seemed to work! Just a few Q’s though: with v5 of the MatrixNav firmware is…"

"It’s really difficult to predict the behavior of the control mixing until you go ahead a try it. Perhaps some sort of blending in the firmware so that at say 45 degrees the ESC's receive only half the input of that of a 0 control input…"

"I figure it’s worth noting that I also have been unsuccessful in connecting the UAV DevBoard to the ICD2 in MPLAB v8.x. I have E-mailed Spark fun and my understanding is that they are waiting on shipment of the new ICD2’s. However no…"

"Looks good! In regards to your design philosophy are you shooting for simplicity with the design and trying to keep everything as simple as possible? Without a tail, one would imagine the flying wing would fare better in slightly gusty…"

"Sam, An RC car is a great way to get started. I highly recommend it. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. Although my primary interest is in providing stabilization and return to launch to make it easier and safer for newbie…"

"Check out http://www.abacuspub.com/platinum/piaggio/piaggio_07.jpg and http://www.thaiflyingschool.com/images/Picture%20007.jpg The three surface design is similar to the canard, however it has a horizontal tail. Sam."

"Let me know how you go. Just looking at existing airframes, a canard or a three surface design may be a good option to consider due to the aft plane being greater in width than the fore plane. The video that you linked to earlier…"

"Hi, I'm heading down a similar path to you, with the intension of eventually building a tilt wing quad-copter. Similarly to you I’m building a quad-copter as a testing platform to eventually progress to vectored thrust and while I…"
