wow thats a great video. I love the design - it also makes a great sound during flight!

Is there a guide somewhere on how to hook up the pressure sensor? Does one tube go in front and one in back - how does it work?

Aye, you will be hard pushed for 2hrs endurance out of an easyglider.. You are looking at a battery with wings and a motor attached lol. Matt sounds about right though, grab yourself a small brushless motor and a 3s pack, then run it across a shunt…

Wow this is some amazing work. Nicely done - can't wait until i see the results up in the air...

I would guess that a small brushless with a 3s 2200mah lipo will get you 25-35 minutes in the air with cruise throttle. So that's a current draw between say 3.5 and 5 amp/h. That's before adding the extra weight of video gear. I also…

Well gooooooooooo brushless first and then look at it seriously, you certainly need to separate flight power from downlink. Also note flights greater than 30 minutes will require Notams in the future. So you might want to make 29 minutes your flight…

I think the best way is to rip out a calculator and the spec sheets or a current probe and measure the consumption for each of these parts. Then add all the currents up and do the math to see what power budget you have. Then you will know what the…

noooooooooooo -> what kind of lipo exactly. thats the point of my inquiry...

I think you will struggle to get 2 hours out of an easy glider, especially in a brushed fit, right away you need to go brushless. So its lipos for you!! Also separate flight battery from video/downlink. So thats two lipos. Good luck

Battery?

I have a narrowed down parts list, but am at a loss for a battery. I don't have much experience w/RC planes.What should i get to enable this setup to get the longest flight time possible. (2hrs?)Futaba 6Ch RC w/Reciever (i hear this is a workhorse)Multiplex Easy Glider Electric RR ARF (Permax 400Motor & ESC Included)…See More

a proper wiki is exactly what this website needs to bring all the accumulated knowledge into once place - can't wait to get editing!

Only take 5 minutes to add ailerons.

Easy Glider is okay but has space limitations. See Byran's work on how to get around them.

Wow ok, well lets cross the Global Hawk off the list, how about the Easy Glider Electric? Having throttle, elevator, rudder, and ailerons for control and a two piece wing sounds like the best option. The only reason i don't want to use an…

EDF (electric ducted fans) have a relatively high current draw and will typically give 4 to 8minutes of flight. They are more suited to higher air speeds so really not the best choice for a UAV. Peter

The Humble Beginnings of a UAV: The Parts List

Posted on May 15, 2009 at 10:30pm 9 Comments

I have started to assemble my parts list for my Globalhawk[1] UAV.

Google Docs: Teque5 UAV Build



I am having trouble deciding on a lot of specifics, but i hope to have something conclusive before the weekend is over. I am very open to comments on my first foray into the DIY Drones… Continue
