RC/Autonomous Aircraft
From Hack Manhattan Wiki
RC Aircraft
- Could be fun to experiment with some of these, hook up cameras, etc.
- Some cool links:
Quadshot - Awesome combination of a quadrocopter and airplane
Paparazzi - The paparazzi project, which is open source software for autopilots for aircraft
Brooklyn Aerodrome - low cost RC delta wing plane you might have seen at NY MakerFaire
Also check out this awesome video of a guy flying his RC plane over NY. I'm surprised the police were as cool with this as they appeared to be... I'm sure he violated some laws on the books somewhere.
