keeyen pang posted a discussionPower module voltage fluctuation
I'm setting up my new Skywalker with APM2.5 and power module. All work fine but I notice the voltage reading in the HUD is fluctuating within about 0.5 volt. It will not stay in one reading even though I didn't move anythings. The current also show 1 A with nothing moving. Is there any calibration to be done ? I've used attopilot with great success but this module seems not working well for me.Thanks for any feed back.See More
keeyen pang replied to Andrew Tridgell's discussion ArduPlane 2.73 released"It seems that from 2.71 onward there are some bugs which may jeopardise the safety of our UAV. It is now safe to use 2.73 for serious mapping works ?
Currently I'm using 2.69 which work great for me, hold very nice grid line in auto navigation.…"

keeyen pang replied to Andrew Tridgell's discussion ArduPlane 2.72 released"Hi
I update my firmware from 2.63 to 2.69 and found out that the navigation become bad. I spend a few days to tune the xtrack and it become better but sometime still unable to trace the grid line especially in high wind condition.
Looks like 2.72 is…"
keeyen pang commented on James's blog post Ucandrone - a UAS & 3DR Pit-Stop in Europe"I think Techpod is quite similar in performance, i.e 2 hours flight time, downward looking camera mount ect. But this plane is build from composite material which add the value."
keeyen pang commented on keeyen pang's blog post Techpod review"Sorry, I didn't measure the weight because it is so light with my current set up. I think the all up weight is about 2 Kg. I'll install APM, RDF900 and a camera when these items arrived. Then I'll have a more practical weight and…"
keeyen pang commented on keeyen pang's blog post Techpod review"Thanks for all the kind words. I'll upload some more picture.
Wayne, since I modify the wings hold down method, there is no need to cut the center carbon tube into half. Just plug into the fuselage wing root and epoxy it. I use normal foam…"
wayne garris commented on keeyen pang's blog post Techpod review"Hey Keeyen, thanks for the awesome review. I like the camera dome you have upfront.
I noticed you did not install the black nylon spar end pieces. The nylon tube needs to be cut in half and glued on the ends of the spars. Ill post some picteres. Did…"
criro1999 commented on keeyen pang's blog post Techpod review"Interesting review.
Can you post a picture with the motor mount? What mount are you using?
I have a glider with prop in front and i want to put is back for FPV purpose and aerial pictures.
Effectivelly I was thinking to put 2 smaller motors instead…"

Techpod is a special design FPV with hundred of hours of computer calculation and simulation went through during the design stage. With a high aspect ratio glider like wings, it is capable of long flying time. The designer claim for more than 4 hours of flight time with 2 pieces 6S 5000 mah battery in parallel.I build this plane for aerial photo purpose. I’m looking for a flight time of about 90 minutes. Longer flight time means…See More
keeyen pang replied to keeyen pang's discussion Autoland work around"According to wiki, it will cut throttle 2 seconds before the landing point or reach 3 meter in altitude, whichever come first. Since the plane is about 5 meter at the second last waypoint, and the land waypoint is just next to it, the plane simply…"

- I am totally new in this field. Would like to start with the most simple form of FPV and ultimately would like to build a low cost UAV capable for long range low altitude air survey and petrol. 2013 update : A few Skywalker base UAV had build for aerial mapping purpose. Result is quite promising.

The New Skywalker 1900 has been around for sometime. I just finish mine and test fly it last Sunday in strong wind condition. I barely able to trim for straight and level and P gain in stabilized mode.
It feel more or less like my old Skywalker 1900 but the rigidity of the tail section had been much…

I was testing my Maja in full manual mode this afternoon, an eagle come and join the fun of it. We flew a few round together before I realise that it actually come to defends it's airspace. A few attempt to close in with the plane and lower it's craw ready for a catch. Lucky it didn't success and I have power reserved to escape from situation.
MY Maja 2.2 M was build as per instruction with some reinforcement. AUW is 2.8kg. A 3S 2200 battery was put in front as…
