Wow, hmm for some reason rcgroups did not send me a message saying you posted. In response to your question:

The autopilot/GPS stuff was a picopilot N

Wing leveler was a BTA As-07

Video was 900mhz through homemade antennas with sony high resolution video camera with Gecko OSD

Still camera was Cannon a570 with a different firmware

RC gear was 7ch specktrum

ground link was into DVD recorder, I used to use a video capture card but the video quality greatly suffered.

Batteries are the ones I ordered from a place overseas. Incredible deal!!

As for a web site, we did not make one nor do we really plan to make one. This was for a technical elective for college (not just integrating the parts but the actual pictures and video, many of which are not on the included video) As for documentation we wrote a few papers detailing the project, the legality, and operations. Additionally this was an addition to a project that we started when I was in Afghanistan. (yes the orange plane in the movie has been to Afghanistan and pictures/movies (non-OPSEC) were obtained. Not necessarily for the aspect of real reconnaissance but more just to show that a recon uav could be built and used by combat soldiers for under $2000. Not that we are going to be starting a company or anything, just to make a point. I hope that answers your question, and once again sorry for the late reply.
