RC data logger with altitude capture
German page about a self-made RC data logger using PIC 16F84 and MPXS 4100A absolute pressure sensor.
CLONEPACs for Futaba Radios (16 kB CAMPAC)
Self-made memory extension modules for Futaba R/C transmitters. They do work and are currently in service in my Futaba FC18 V3 Plus radio. One 16 kB CAMPAC clone provides storage capacity for 11 models within the FC18 transmitter. See my own 16 kB ClonePacs here.
Considering more than 16 kB? Then have a look at Model-Gadget's Ultra-PAC-II available through these dealers.
Autonomous Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (AUAV)
Dave Jones impressive experiences with installing GPS receiver and gyroscopes on a model airplane to fly autonomously 48 miles or 1 hour 8 min. It worked, although it was very adventurously...
