I'm curious how you got horizon shots. Did you have a tilt servo on a camera to allow it to point forwards, or did you pitch the aircraft up to get this? All our photos are straight down (except when in turns that are beyond the servo limit of our roll stabiliser) so we didn't get any nice horizon shots :-) Cheers, Tridge |

"comms failure" test
In your debrief you mention having to do a comms failure test ,were you required to do this with the plane in flight to see if it would loiter? How was this test done .
thanks in advance ,great work. |

In our case we'd asked the scrutineers in advance if we could induce a comms failure by disabling the GCS heartbeat sent to the plane, rather than turning the radios completely off. They agreed with that, which allowed us to continue to receive telemetry from the plane, which was nice (for logging, and seeing that we were well clear of the geo-fence). I think some other teams (such as CompassUAV) just turned off their radios instead. Cheers, Tridge |
