Just a thought, many years ago I watched a demo of a BRS for a model plane at Cosford in the UK. Apparently it was very lightweight but had clever triggering. In the event that the radio signal (controller to plane) was lost, the system cut the fuel off to the motor and released a spring loaded BRS which brought the model down for a vertical but gentle landing. Could you fit something like this on the UAV for loss of contact events? _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
