RE: FPV for Search & Rescue mission
I crashed the first one due to a loosy nut on the horizntal stab. "elevator"!! my mistake! Now i'm flying an EPO skywalker! so far its good for calm weather and steady wind, but with gusty wind its real pain in the A** to have it straight! the thing is about reinforcing the fuselage! WHAT DO YOU THINK if i cover the wings with LEXAN "polycharbonate" by THERMO-FORMING it on the wing and body?? Because it theoratically UNBREAKABLE! and i notice some SAGGING on the wings when i do a hard pull-up!

RE: FPV for Search & Rescue mission
[quote]ORIGINAL: Gravityisnotmyfriend Your standard radio will already exceed your line of sight range. But, if you are asking how to autonomously fly a plane via GPS beyond line of sight, you are treading on very dangerous ground. As a person who enjoys this hobby, that's not information I'd share and hope that anyone else would do the same. What you are asking could potentially turn an RC plane into a weapon. And even if that is not your intention - posting that kind of information on a public message board would allow anyone access to that info. Nope, won't touch this subject with a 10' pole. [/quote] Thank You for sharing this! :) But believe me, now adays you can build a nuke from the internet as easy as drinking water! but my intentions are SAVING LIVE's! And I know a bit of what I want. But. i'm confused becuase the number of gadgets now adays in the market! So, I need someone to point them out for me to save the money and effort of trial'n'error !! I'm building this project on my own budget! So, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again and with my best regards,,,

FPV for Search & Rescue mission
Hi all, I need some help please! I work in marine firefighting & rescue. I'm planning to build a rescue UAV to help us locate victims at sea. I'm thinking of useing SKYWALKER as the platform for its ability to be hand launched and easy landings "may float if it lands on water"!! few things I need to know first: * whats the max wind speed it could handle? "fly in" * what is the best coast effective AUTO PILOT with way points sys. Because not all of the guys have the skill to fly! * how to extend the radio control range? * what is the best set-up for this project? Your help is highly appreceiated!! Thanks!

Hi rotordoc1 , one of my friends told that the Predator has a lot of vibration and may fall a part! with aerial photography in my mind, it won't do any good! Thanks,
