Hi Guys,

I would like to build UAV fixed wing with autopilot and on line video camera,
The functionality I will need is:

1. "Plug and play" system
2. Plane weight 12-15 kg
3. Ground control
4. Long range remote control to cam / tilt
5. Long range to remote control the plane by switching from autopilot to manual
6. Long range video camera transmitter and receiver
7. HD video camera with good quality.

I was look in the forumes and found:

MicroPilot - remote control range option 25km-50km
AttoPilot
ArduPilot
U-Nav
Kestrel autopilots
Paparazzi

All mention systems are for micro and small UAV as far as I understand except MicroPilot

Can some one recommend me on the autopilot systems regarding to specification ?

Thanks you in advanced

It is all a matter of how much money you have to throw at the system.

We set up a micro UAV for the UAV Outback Challenge here in Australia on a hobbyists budget, using the Attopilot.
We tried the Ardupilot without much success, but the Attopilot was a true plug and play system at 10% of the cost of the nearest rival.
And at the comp we saw the nearest rival dive a UAV into the ground at full throttle [:@]

The Attopilot we use is thermopile based but the IMU based version is now available as well.

Support for the product we found was excellent.

Worth a look I would say.
Good luck.

Mike

Thanks a lot mike.
