Experimental Arduino RC Plane Build Log

Went to do a test flight today but was unfortunately grounded by snow. Next Saturday's weather looks amazing so I'll be postponing the flight till then...

It flew! We had a successful test flight. Flew for somewhere around 5min and landed with no problems. I'll post pics and videos soon!

New build log for my next plane here!

Holy moly. This stuff is awesome. It could turn into a sort of low-cost UAV alternative to ardupilot which is a pretty hefty sum. Pretty neat!

Thank you!

I gotta be honest, nothing about my projects are low-cost .

Speaking of which, I'm working on a totally new plane design out of carbon fiber/fiberglass that I'm planning on getting to work before this year's Flite Fest in Ohio. It'll also have improved electronics/code! I haven't posted anything about it on the forum...yet.
