[Canberrauav] Weekend recap Stephen Dade stephen_dade at hotmail.com Sun Aug 3 18:08:10 EST 2014 Hi everyone, This weekend saw a flurry of testing. This culminated in a 20 minute mini-OBC where the camera, bottle drop and full GCS system all worked together. This was successfully repeated on multiple flights. This is a huge step for us - it's the first time we've been able to test all of our UAV and GCS systems in the one flight! In a bit more detail , we tested: -GCS with full networked groundstation -The radio mast with full tracking antenna -GCS large screen TV -Joe detection -(Multiple) bottle drops, with mixed results -Automatic takeoff Unfortunately the Bushmaster suffered a small crash during a landing approach, due to a stall a few metres above the ground. The damage is definitely fixable and (hopefully) the Bushmaster will be up and running next weekend. Thanks Stephen
