I am Szilard Fulop from Hungary, who is familiar with sw, linux, GNU and rc, but new on electronics.

I keep in the air some planes in the last one and half year, what was very interresting, but not enough :-) Now I want to expand my p-13 glider to be able to made photographs, videos and allow to made FPV flights assisted by autopilot controll and autonomus. This is a great 2,5m wingspan, 1.4kg weight electric glider, which is now under reconfiguration.

Completed:

• I complied and installed the paparazzi3 on Ubuntu/Dapper environment.
• Rebuilded my p-13 and achieved the first flying test with simulated weight.
• Captured the video system: CAM420 line, 1W 2.4GHz transmitter, diversity receiver with thwo 12dBI patch and a GD520 google. Now I am in building this together.

On going:

• Purchase of assemled Tiny boards
• Purchase of ir sensor from FMA
• Purchase of LEAP-4 from ublox
• Finding 20mm antenna.
• Figuring out, which radio modems fit to my plane?

Some captured answers

Q: what are this time the most problematic things over the EMI? just in sentences.
A: - everything
- the GPS is sensitive to the distance and orientation of the video and modem antennas
- and the IR sensors, gyros, and wires to these sensors are sensitve to the video/modem emissions
- and of course the R/C is affected also - mostly from the modem
- the video sends a continuous wave at a very high frequency, but the modem sends "blocks" of data, so even though it is operating at high frequency, it is "turning on/off" at a much lower frequency, frequencies similar to R/C or analog sensors
