Funjet UAV
This is my Funjet. I installed a Attopilot autopilot, now it's a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). This picture was taken after it's first successful UAV flight. Sept. 7, 2009. Well, it wasn't really much of a mission, it flew in a circle over the spot that it started from, and continued in that pattern indefinitely, staying at a predetermined height, speed, and radius of circle. It didn't really go to waypoints.
But later I sent it on missions of several miles. And I put a small video camera in the wing. if you want to see a video taken from the plane, on one of these missions go look on Youtube, search for "UAV flies to Steves house" . I sent it on a mission to my friend's house.
Now in year 2015, I haven't flown it for a few years, I've been flying a quad copter instead.
