Hey Guys. It's been a while sense I last posted in the forums here. Last time I posted, I recieved help from a few members of this site with my UAV Design and Aerodynamics. So for a month or so, I retreated to my bedroom, and came up with my design. They helped a lot, but they just didn't know a lot about the electronics of these planes. So hopefully I get can get some help from you guys!
Okay so here's some details (Hopefully I'll get my CAD Drawings and some pictures up as soon as possible):
Plane Weight: 8.5 Pounds/ 102 Ounces
Fuselage Length: 54"
Wing Loading: 17.5 Pounds
Now the UAV's goal is to be able to fly upto 5 miles from it's starting point, and has to be able to send a video signal from two seperate video feeds at the same time back to my starting point. It's also designed to use an autopilot in order to maintain flight for a long time, upto 1.5 hours.
Now I'm not quite sure what to use for the control aspect of the plane. What would someone use as a microcontroller for a plane system that far away? Any ideas?
