Introduction
This page is part of a final thesis project made for Vaasa University of Applied Sciences. The idea in this project was to implement the Paparazzi hard and software to an RC airplane. The project began in June 2009.
The project is sponsored by WRD Systems
Hardware
The Plane
After a long period of choosing the plane, the Sig Kadet was chosen to be the one. Below are listed some characteristics why it was chosen.
- Big wing area (easier to control)
- Powerful electric engine (ability to take up extra payload)
- Light
- Semi-ready built (no balsa work)
Radio
- Hitec 6 Optic Sport
Battery
- Li-Po 1300 mAh 11V.
Why Li-Po? Li-Po batteries are light and small and have large storing capacity. As rule of thumb Li-Po batteries have four times the capacity compred to same sized and weighed Ni-Mh batteries.
Electronics
Software
Used Programs and operating systems
All of the programs were run on Mac OS 10.5 and virtualized Ubuntu 8.10 on VMWARE Fusion 2.0.
