Status: offline 		Hey, everbody, I'm beginning the build of a large experimental UAV I plan on flying far out of my city in the months ahead using long distance satallite technology. Because I am more of a beginner in the rc plane world I'll need a little bit advice, especially from those experts! Such as, tips on building, what products you recommend, and some crash stories so I'm prepared for the worst. In a few weeks there will be pictures up on this post so you people can see how contruction is coming on the project. This aircraft will be entirely homemade. That includes all the wood sheets you would normally call, "die cut" or "laser cut"! In a couple days I'll have a little more information on this 'homemade' UAV.

I would be interested in finding out some info on what you are doing. Is it just a hobby thing or work- related?

I have been interested in something along the same lines for a long time and am just now starting to get really serious as a side thing to my PhD studying properties of UAVs of the fixed- and rotary- winged platforms.

get in touch with me when you can. Might have an interesting chat.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operations in the U.S. National Airspace System.. as you have been told in a other post you have.. there is no way you are going to fly that with out going threw the FAA and fallowing General Operating and Flight Rules (14 CFR Part 91).... you say in this post and others on this Form "I am more of a beginner in the rc plane world I'll need a little bit advice" well my advice if you have No Background in Aviation,UAV's or RC aircraft.. and Just have to Build this is Higher someone that knows what they are doing to Build this aircraft... you are talking about using "satallite technology"?? who's Sats are you doing to use??? you are talking Big Bucks for that kinda Tech. unless you are some kinda Billionaire with more money then sense and have a Good layer to keep you out of the Fed Pen . for sure if you do this with out going threw the FAA and just fly this thing Cross country threw ATO Airspace.. you are going to screw up this hobby for everyone ..

I think what you want to do is above the scope of experience of most modelers
that post here on RCU, I would suggest you contact some people who are already
involved in what you are trying to do.

Also I think you going to find that what you are trying to do is very exspensive for
one and two its more trouble than its worth.

Just my .02
