#Uav drone rc 720p

I have a StealthCam Epic HD 720p video camera with a wide angle lense I plan to hack and use for FPV video out the front of the fuse lodge. I hope to use a Zoom camera for this but due to budget limitations I will probably just use a 600tvl Sony HAD CCD. Other plans are to come up with a pan/tilt setup for the camera ball, I plan to make my own probably using a dome from a mini security camera dome. Still researching this but a ground station is probably close to a year away at this point.

Still a long way down the road but my beginning plans for a ground station will include an old Dual Core PC board I have with a 10-15' LCD built into a suitcase ran off lipo batteries. Still not sure what to do for the servo's. 4 will add 740g not counting with what I come up with for the missiles.Īlso ordered on 4/19/11 from hobbyking is a T3 Blade EP Propeller 12x8 / 305x204mm for $3.33 and Aluminum Prop Spinner 58mm / 2.25inch diameter for $6.24. If this proves to be too much weight I will drop down to two batteries. Minimum Capacity: 2200mAh (True 100% Capacity) from, ordered 4/18/09 on sale for $8.49 each!

#Uav drone rc plus

Plus make it a little easier to balance the plane, I will also make pods to hold two per side and do my best to make it look like the real deal. This will free up a lot of space in the fuse lodge for the electronics. I plan to use various model rocket parts to build 4 scale Hellfire missiles which I plan to house the 4 batteries. Many customers gave this motor good praises which is why I decided to try it out.įor the power cells I plan to use (4x) Turnigy 2200mAh 3S 20C Lipo Pack I plan to use all 4 for motor for 8800mAh or use one for other electronics. but since this is a gentle flyer running it less than that should be fine but I estimate I need to keep around at least 76-85w per lb. Most people seem to recommend 100w per lb. My total estimated weight on my entire build is somewhere between 7.5-8.5lbs. I plan to use 3S for mine but at least I know that if I need more power I can change to a 4S. One customer commented that they got 12圆 APC E 54.90A 15.12v 830W 10290rpm 2989g ef 77 % on a 4S lipo. Naturally I plan to order the Ardupilot Mega kit from the store, and in another build phase in the future the APM Telemetry kit.įor the motor: (Ordered 4/18/11 from, cost $23.53) They even have a tutorial download on VTail mixing.

#Uav drone rc install

I Plan to use er9x as my firm wire since it has ArduPilot Binaries all ready to download and install and tweek. Those interested SmartieParts offers a Turnigy programmer that is solderless and includes a backlight screen. You can find out some good info here on Hacking the Turnigy 9x by Chris Anderson. I plan to install a programmer to add new firm wire updates. (Ordered 4/18/11, cost $53.79, it was perfect timing to get it while it was in stock, only lasted a few hours online.) Recieved on 4/18/11 in great shape, well packaged.įor the TX/RX I plan to use a Turnigy 9x from hobby king. I purchased my PROJET MQ-9 Reaper from for around $166 shipped. One major complaint of the MQ-9 is lack of space, however I plan to make scale missiles to house batteries under the wings and open up the fuse lodge, by doing all this I will probably not know what to do with all the extra space! The super brain esc should be great for data logging. How you wonder? Well being able to eliminate the linkage cables in the plane I plan to build an access panel under the plane so I cam mount electronics near the CG, I also hope to make access there to make some kind of removable wing brackets for easier transport. The reason I chose to use 8 mini servos as apposed to the recommended 4 mini and 2 standard is to try to make space. I know these servos are cheap but have some pretty good reviews, I hope they can handle well. Posted by Zachariah L Hanson on Apat 10:00pm
