ATTOPILOT automatic flight for your RC aircraft.

AttoPilot is a small autopilot system capable of flying any fixed wing aircraft even in high winds. Thanks to the adaptive algorithms, 50Hz attitude control, and automatic gain scheduling based on airspeed, AttoPilot brings features to the sub-$1k autopilot market that were previously reserved for autopilots costing 10x more. AttoPilot includes over 100 user configurable parameters, integrated power sensing, integrated logging of 70 parameters to micro-SD card at up to 5Hz, 3D waypoints with airspeed targets and 6 scripting parameters, and several special features for crystal clear geo-referenced aerial photography.

A Ning is a pretty simple place for adding photos and files so crack on!!!

New GCS in Beta testing

If you talk very nicely to Andrew Dunlop of the Millswood engineering failsafe device he might send you a copy of his version of the GCS.

Very much in Beta testing at this time, this GCS will allow you easy access to camera control via maxstreams the fail-safe and a joystick.

I look forward to trying this myself, good work Andrew.… Continue

More flying

Going well, finally getting the airframe sorted out, I have trimmed the elevons physically and reduced the throws, Rob was right, I was yanking and banking way too much in manual flight.The wing was orgionally designed for slow speed soaring, I was asking a bit of it

Flying around and recording the data was the way to find efficient speeds.

I have also slowed t… Continue

Atto in Africa

Well a long held dream has happened, I need to sort my set file a little with Dean and sort out the CG on the wing, but yet again, it worked.

That's four different flying wings that I have installed an Atto 1.8 into and all worked out the box.

I could not bring our Manta 2 EPP from Flying Wings out with me because it was too big. Instead we made up two kit… Continue

During our scrutineering flight at the Outback Challenge, the judges made lots of co… Continue

Manta 2

Did a slightly foolish thing today, maiden flight of a modified airframe in front of a crowd (small) of quadrocopter pilots with Atto in it to boot.

The proof of success is in the plot above.

Needs some slight tweaks but, quite staggering really. Used the same SET file as last time and will fiddle a little bit now!
