Hi,
I just returned from test flights of the new design of the
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) flying wing with the Kline-Fogleman modified, KFm2,
airfoil. This time it is a twin engine puller, or tractor, 75 cm
(approx. 30 inches) flying wing.
I've been working for quite a while on a DIY aerial platfo
I've built from scratch and tested an aircraft based on Kline-Fogleman
modified KFm2 airfoil. It's wingspan is 75 cm (aprox. 30 inches). The
cost of the airframe is less that 5 USD (a sheet of foam-board 2 USD, a
stick of hot glue 50 cents, the packing tape 1 USD, two zip ties 20
cents.).

Hi Simon,
The well known German company Lufthansa Technik offers different
training courses in the domain of drones [1], including the excellent
basic
free online course (Kostenlose Basisschulung). After this course

I think one problem with drones is they need special permission or there
are rules about who and where they can be operated in many parts of the
world. Some are capable of cm accuracy but does OpenStreetMap benefit from
this?

Hi Florian,
Here is the photo [1] of my DIY Tiny Trainer RC airplane, which I built
from the FliteTest speed build kit [2]. This is the 4 channel plane
(ailerons, elevator, rudder, throttle). It flies surprisingly well.
Actually, it can even perform basic aerobatics.

Hi Florian,
For building and getting things flying correctly, I would suggest
http://rcgroups.com That site has very experienced people in Remote
Control aircraft, multi-rotor, fixed wing, flying wing etc. Look for
the sections that say "scratchbuilt" as those are the Do It Yourself
forums.
For a

When I was looking at RC planes, the one that could hold a quality
camera+fly for for a relatively long time is the skywalker X8(~200$ USD) +
batteries, controllers and motors(~200-250) which comes out to about 450$
US.

I dont know what is picavet. But I dont think thatKite, or balloon or similar
flying objects could cover rapidly and systematically a rectangular area, be
stabilized and produce images of quality.
The fix wings are still expansive but can produce rapidly very precise
imageries and elevation mod
Still cant beat ~50$ for a good kite pieces of string and a block of wood

Hi Florian,
The DIY RC aircraft approach has got some other advantages, not only the
initial cost: the plane can be easily repaired, parts may be reused for
another project, one can build a airplane capable to carry any
equipment, etc. Besides, if one learns to build an airplane one can
build
cheaper and simpler would be a kite and a picavet system. I was looking
into building a FPV, but just getting it to fly in a pattern gets expensive
quickly(even building from scratch)

Hi,
is there a Mailinglist for the Technical aspects of DIY Remote Sensing
e.g. Aerial imaging?
I am talking about Drone/Copter/Autonomous flying like Sensefly Ebee
and the like.
As a lot of people are not capable of buying of the shelve equipment
like the Ebee it might be interesting to get p
