At school I'm building a custom FPV (first person view) aircraft as a project.
I forgot to take actual photos of the aircraft, but its a hobbyking EPP-FPV
1.8 meter wingspan
..big. lol
I did snap a picture of all the components (minus the buckboost psu for the electronics since it hasn't arrived yet, as with the gyro's and some of the sensors)
Anyway, the final capabilities of this thing (with all its equipment) are the following:
Range: 30km range Dragonlink UHF radio
Flight time: EST 30-60 minutes depending on if I fly with a lead foot or not
Flight ceiling: EST 2 miles, maybe higher
Flight range: No idea, but should be over 10 miles
Power pack: 2x 4s 5000mAh 20c batteries, 1x 3s 2600mAh (backup battery)
Redundancy circuit: Rapid switch to backup power pack in sudden or low voltage situation. Reduced power but enough to get it home or land safely.
Power supply: Buck boost 3A DC-DC
Speed controller: Eflite 60A
Motor: 26 Outrunner
Prop: 11x7 supposed to be 10x6 but I got a way overspec motor..
DOST+ V2 OSD system:
GPS
Autopilot
-Failsafe Autopilot return to home mode
The autopilot can be programmed via google earth to follow a set path wherever you want it to go.
Waypoint programmable flight path (like a UAV)
Altitude, Barometer, Temp, Speed, Compass, Current, and GPS sensors.
On screen display to overlay critical info into the video feed
Camera: CCD 600 line camera with tilt
Video TX: 1000mw 1.2ghz with Dipole Antenna
Video RX: Patch antenna with diversity controller
Video screen: Dunno yet. Either goggles or a laptop with composite in.
...other stuff.
