Drone 1-2-3: An autonomously flying wing glider
Drone 1-2-3 is a glider Drone based on the Alula urban flying wing (parts already there), a Walkera WK-2801 PRO R/C (in my attic) and an Arduino based auto-pilot for stabilization and navigation.
So far the only parts that still needed ordering were: A Mini APM v3.1 (ArduPilot 2.6) and an external compass/GPS (Ublox NEO 6M GPS HMC5883L). Total costs: Less than 47 euro, including (free) shipping and (delivery free of) taxes.
Steps in this project:
1. Build the plane (trim and fly)
2. Make it remotely controlled (R/C)
3. Teach it to fly autonomously
The secondary goal of this project is: Extended flight time (longer than a day?).
The coexisting primary goals are planet domination, colonizing of space and sheer fun.
