"Toby! I have a very similar setup with a 890kv eflitte 450 motor. 9/6 prop. The motor is mounted aft of the mount just like in your setup. I started the first flight with half throttle and the plane went immediately into a very steep climb as if it…"

Toby Mills commented on Monroe's blog post Manned Autonomous Aircraft"I think this falls into the category of just because you can't doesn't mean you should.

Its now been a whole year since I got addicted to the crazy hobby of Autopilots.
What a wild ride!!!
There has been some fantastic moments and some of total frustration, but it has been an exciting and rewarding journey.
There are a lot of people who ask about getting into the hobby and have somewhat ambitious ideas about building a drone to do X…
Time for a new contest....

I think its time for a new DIY Drones contest which I would like to propose.
The T3 is fun, but it doesn't have any real point other than the winner gets some bragging rights.
At the end of the day, speed is not the goal for most of us so a competition that measuers speed yields no useful information that helps us move forward as a group.
The contest I would like to proprose…

The public cell network seems like the perfect solution for long range drones as it covers most countries and now supports extremely high bandwith.
I've done some experimenting with the dronecell and various…

I like to spend my time in the field actually flying and not spending hours plugging things in.
Here is the latest upgrade to my Ground Station which provides a single wire from my antenna to my laptop.
All I need to take to fly is the antenna, laptop, plane and an XBox controller.
A single USB cable goes…
