I am working on a guillows cessna 172. It is designed for free flight or U control. Its a 36" span, wide chord and a nice fat fuselage for holding bits. Im going to work on making it a fully autonomous UAV for indoor use with no remote control. Not…

I agree with bGatti, using as many existing components will save a lot of money. Think for example of using an Easy Glider wing for example. Foster

Michael, that flying wing looks very interesting, if only the wing was from cut epp. Isobot, Why not use a v-tail mixer to mix rudder and elevator feeds? Foster

Potential to capture and broadcast FPV video through phone

My friend and I just set up our Easy Star following Chris's recommendations (brushless, ESC, and lipo). We wanted a cheap way to grab some FPV footage to show to our friends and family. We decided to cut a hole in our Easy Star fuselage cover to mount my Blackberry Curve so we could use it as a video camera. I bought a 2 Gigabyte SD card from Rite Aid for $19.99 and we we're set to go. Although the video quality is rather poor we think the smartphone serves as a cool platform to broadcast FPV in… Continue

Hey Dan,

I think that image was taken about 200 AGL. I do most of my r/c aerial photography below 300 AGL; currently my favorite camera is a Canon G9 even though it weighs over 13 oz. I have tried many other digital cameras but I have not been satisfied with the resolution; also many small lenses are too "slow" and have barrel distortion.

The santa image is a single picture. I'll have to review the telemetry log to determine the altitude at which it was taken.
