Default RE: Anyone here building a UAVP?


ORIGINAL: 13BRV3

I ordered some of these tail booms, and they're great. Thanks for all the info. The UAVP3 frame (sq CF tubing with holes drilled in it) is starting to split and have problems, so I'll be building a UAVP5 frame using the aluminum tubing. UAVP4's frame (same sq CF tubing) is holding up very well, but it's clamped rather than drilled and bolted. Just for fun, I put the Eagle Tree FDR on UAVP4 Saturday, and took it up as high as my courage would allow. I was actually surprised when I saw the data [X(]

I was in the middle of a big Navy airport that we use for R/C on the weekends, but I could have done this just as easily in my back yard. The open space did give me the ability to actually fly around some, and do some orientation practice. If it weren't for the 10 kt wind, it would have been soooo easy

Cheers,
Rusty
You are welcome. Interesting data, what is the altitude measured in (m or ft)?
