Return to UAS

Embedded controller: Arduino or clone.

The following as interesting and already in inventory: Arduino Decemilia, Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega 2560, Maple Mini, Maple (Rev5).

This is the initial sensor package:

The initial airframe must forgive mediocre piloting. We want docile flight characteristics combined with a rugged air frame.

Try to select a craft with spares to reduce cost of reconstruction.

These are our top candidates:

Phoenix Glider Pretty cool name... If the avionics fit into the cockpit I say go for it. (Note that we can add flaps!)
- Alternate source
Bixler Looks like a good place to start. Lots of surfaces to control, plenty of room for avionics, and reasonably priced.
Multiplex Cularis (2.6m)
Radian Pro

These are interesting alternatives:

Servos X 4
- want light ones, but strong enough to control the surfaces, might need to get the craft before we order/change the servos
