However, here is a fairly detailed design study of the…"

My T3 Entry

Catagory: Fixed Wing- 125cm Flying Wing
Total Time: 1:40.
This is the 3rd or 4th time I've flown my wing with the APM. (And my first experience flying with the APM.) Tuning is still in progress, but I've been very impressed with the system thus far. The stock PID gains have worked…
Continue Ground Locomotion: Crawling Quadrotors and MultiCopters
Posted on May 18, 2011 at 8:30am 2 Comments 2 Likes
One area of multi-rotor UAV research that has been barely scratched is ground locomotion. The definition of ground locomotion is the use of systems built into the flight vehicle to move on the ground, likely without using the flight propulsive systems. Basically, this is what you get when you combine a…

The best time I've gotten with this wing is 26 minutes on a 3s2200. I have upgraded to a 30C 3s2800, and have probably done over half an hour, have not bothered to check what the new endurance is yet. Cruising…"

Stephen Carlson commented on Stephen Carlson's blog post Google Earth UAV/FPV Flight Model"Hmm..
I think GE has gone through two revisions since I released the original file. True, the field of view could be modified, but, at least for me, the flight model is much more aggressive and fast for roll and pitch (as an aerobatic flying…"

Is it the project you alluded to last month?

- What manufacturer & model parachute did you use in your video "Parachute Deployment: Episode 2"?

- It was a hexagonal section I cut out from a black trash bag. I think it was 1 meter edge to edge. The shroud lines were regular nylon kite string. Each of the six lines were 80 cm or so long. I used a hexagonal cardboard riser about 4 cm edge to edge to zip down the lines during deployment. If needed, I can dig it up and take pictures/measurements.
Contests
Season Two of the Trust Time Trial (T3) Contest has now begun. The third round was a reliablilty/aerial photography round for both planes and copters, which is now closed. Stay tuned for the next round, beginning soon.A list of all T3 contests is here.
