Eddie,
I am a bit confused about something. Is this just a friendly competition or is this a try out for something or another. Are you looking for a UAV design to use commercially? I know of a company that has designed this already and has the system working flawlessly and actually has 2 different size uav's that both fit your specifications if you are looking to purchase something.

Its a friendly competition where I will be checking the feasibility of autonomous flight. That is all.

Eddie, this UAV thing means that you can install a onboard camera on your plane and fly in a trailer or something? If so, this competition would be more a military style evaluation program, and that have some implications..,

I originally thinked that you mentioned UAV´s as a mere technicallity for us to have a sport competition in U.S. territory, and we are supposed to fly as normal r/c models.

And no flying buddies? that would be not fun!!!!

Best regards, Enrique

Refer to the" fastest jet" forum and it might explain what he is wanting to do in around about way.

Eddie,
I have a flying buddy who works for a company that has fully autonomous uav's. I am talking about a system where a pilot launches the uav switches it over to a computer and it flys itself using full GPS to different waypoints designated by someone on the ground. They designed and market the whole system as a complete kit including computer terminal, gps software, and fully functioning UAV. If this is what you are looking for let me know and I will send him an email pointing him to this thread. They have sold systems to different agencies throughout the country. If I am way off in what you are looking for then I apologize and will not respond further.

Patrick.

Now you are thinking.....

I'm working up a special UAV Competition pricing package for the Eagle Tree system. I forward this information to Eddie when completed.
