Interesting wing - reminds me allot of the Cyber Bug.

I assume that the UAV flight systems AP-40 is ITAR controlled - how hard is it for a someone in Asia to get an ITAR controlled product like an autopilot from a US manufacturer?

@reed--

It must not be too hard, since this site (http://www.uavstar.com/) is seemingly doing just that.

I sure don't speak chinese, but I do find it interesting that they have action shots of U.S. UAV's on their site. Not that there's anything wrong with this, but I can't imagine that they're selling these there. Maybe someone with a bit more linguistic know-how can translate for us. Google and Altavista translators didn't do anything to it.

What the http://www.uavstar.com/ site says is that the MicoPilot is authorized by USA government to sell their products in China.

Good to know... what do they say about the U.S. UAV's that they have pictures of on their front page? Just curious.

Per the discussion in http://www.5irc.com forum, the model in the video posted here is remote-controled, not an UAV.

http://www.uavstar.com/ looks like a MicroPilot distributor in China - all MicroPilot commercial.

Not to get off topic, but I sure loved the song on that Chinese video. zhgpan, I wouldn't suppose you'd know what it is? :p Anyone else listen to Chinese music around here that would have a guess?
