I would like to share with you my latest Gluonpilot UAV/FPV platform.
Main idea that I had in mind while building this plane was to keep it simple, easy to transport and of course an option carry FPV system.
Tests will show if the plane will be capable of carrying additional camera for aerial photo-shooting.
Main brain of the platform is of course Gluonpilot with OSD extension board.
Here I would like to thank Tom for the great job he has put into this project.
As a data link I'm using xbee 868 placed on Sparkfun extension board (standard antennas)
Plane is equipped with 600TVL Sony super had CCD D-WDR Color Board Camera.
As a Video link I'm using Lawmate 1,2 500mW with standard antennas.
In close future I plan to attach inverted-Vee antenna on board the plane and Bi-Quad on ground.
Here are couple details regarding my platform:
Wingspan: 1450
Length: 350
Weight (ready to fly): 950g
Motor: TowerPro 2409-12T - for time being it provides enough power
ESC: Dualsky 30A
Batteries:
1x1300mA (Gluonpilot, GPS, xbee, camera, VTx)
1x2200mA (motor + servos)
And here are some photos for those who would like to see it:
Stay tuned for some videos.
