I'm NOT this guy:

I fly fixed-wing foam planes with Twogs/Tinys and IR;

  • EasyStar.
  • 450W 1.2m EPP wing (<1kg, based on windrider Beevolution)
  • 650W 2.5m EPP wing (>3kg, based on windrider QueenBee)

My current development focus is driven by:

  • a local OBC effort for 2011 (CanberraUAV), even though it's ArduPilot based :)
  • a civillian "reconossance for off-road convoy" use-case.
  • a livestock-tracking application.

I'm currently working on:

  • evaluation of a possible MavLink <--> Ivy/Paparazzi "bridge", so components of a Papparazzi UAS could interoperate components based on the MavLink protocol (e.g. QGroundControl).
  • A dedicated EZ* for playing with the bomb navigation subsystem at night.

I also plan to start getting into OpenCV in a few months.
