Has anyone considered the legal ramifications of circumventing ITAR ? Not drawing any conclusions myself but one can say an American exported an autopilot to china.

I have an idea. Get an old LP record turntable and replace the motor with a small 3 phase motor(low kv) with a controller that can be set to RPM mode. Turn table has rotational inertia due to its mass, their job is to run steady. You also have a big…

so the big boys use it. diydrones uses them . I am going to need one soon. and I've been thinking about how to build one on the cheap.a few thoughts1 cordless drill with an rpm meter (probably not very accurate but cheap)2 stepper motor (rpm accurate but motion not constant ie stepping)3 cnc type servo ( more expensive but might do the job)4 ask chris what he is using (unknown )anyone else have any thoughts ? I'm going to test drill and servo this week sometimeregardsSee More

the phenomena you are experiencing is known as vortex ring state. it is common with fixed pitch vtol rotors. the way to avoid this is to keep some foward movement while descending. see this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrsGM0PzQFo

EPP covering technique " the new stuff "

Posted on November 17, 2010 at 1:00pm 7 Comments





Expanded polypropylene is highly desired for fabricating small remote control airplanes and uavs . Its high impact stability low material cost and low weight makes it very good for this role . However the two main ways of manufacturing parts from the raw material have drawbacks . Molded EPP makes a great finished product and can be produced in many shapes including compound curves and can have a smooth finish. the major drawback is the high cost of producing the molds and… Continue

Wayne, lets plan to fly together in Jan sometime up there in WA. We can get you started with Beta Software then.

RE: Your small platforms, do you have access to a Nokia NSeries device (N95 etc). If so, we can get you up and running with them, if not, I think these will turn out to be a better set of devices to work with insofar as Autopilots go than the WM devices that Chris currently works with. But we will also be porting our acquisition code to WM6 in the new year. You can check out the new Tilt device on ATT since it is the best device in this family at the moment. But we highly recommend the nokia devices, and would like to be able to implement an autopilot with them as well.

Stay in touch,

Jeff

Wayne,

I don't know if this is the most private way to post my e-mail address. I thought I'd leave it here instead of in the forum. Here's my e-mail address:

joshua.ferguson[at]fergusontechnologygroup[dot]com

Drop me a line and we'll discuss.

I'm very impressed with the work you are doing here and interested in your C2 design as it looks very similar to what I'm toying around with. My plan was for a UAV based on that design for air potos primarily. I confess i just like the look as well. I have a ryobi 31cc converted ready to g and spectrum radio equipment. I was wondering if you had any drawing or palns that you'd be willing to hshare to help me get the proportions correct??

No, it's a 1944 Taylorcraft, similar to the type used durng WWII. In fact the one in the photo is the same type as one which was brought ashore during D-Day, then assembeld and flown as a spotter for navel guns. The pilot sits up front and observer can elect to sit facing forward or backwards. All tube and fabric construction.
