Video from my homemade drone.
When I was a kid I was into R/C planes, I built two planes and flew one once. I just didnt have the money to do more or access to a flying field unless I got someone to drive me 30 minutes away. Earlier this year I discovered that theres sort of a home-brew UAV movement going on based on inexpensive electic planes and multirotors with onboard computer autopilots and I decided to give it another try, I though it might be a good way to do some aerial photography.
My plane: It has a full autopilot that lets it fly autonomously and a data link to transmit information from the flight computer to the ground in real time. Plus a GoPro camera with an AV out feed going to a video transmitter which sends live video to the ground.  Heres some video from this week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5lk2Jz_BbM This video shows what I see on the ground station, the onboard video is from a cheap keychain camera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VX1LL...hannel&list=UL My Quadcopter: This doesnt have a full autopilot in it yet, but it does have a flight controller that can auto stabilize and maintain a chosen altitude and heading.  http://vimeo.com/43389666

The local Muslim community is going freak the fuck out, when they hear there's a black dude with a fleet of drones in town.
