ARDi - The Final Free-FallEven when you have crossed all your "t"s and dotted all of your "i"s, and have hundreds of hours on a model, things can and will go wrong. The most painful experience for an RC modeler (in which nobody gets hurt) would have to be permanently losing a model (It gets away and you never see it again) and perhaps the second most painful is having to kill your own model to avoid the first. If you feel strongly enough that you need to comment on this video, you can either do so where it was linked, or feed back in our lab. |

North Nahanni Wilderness Adventure - Episode 1In the spring of 2011, I had the rare opportunity to venture deep in the heart of the Canadian subarctic wilderness, into the wilds of the North Nahanni. I took my faithful flying robot ARDi along, and this video is the result of the first day of the adventure. For more info about this trip, the video or the robot, visit uavlab.spyd.com. |

The Story of ARDi and Project FireEyeThe aim of project FireEye is the application of WWVi's Aerial Research Drone 1 (ARDi) to the tasks of detection, observation and monitoring of wildfire. WWVi and ARDi join the scientists at the Canadian Boreal Research Community FireSmart Project in Fort Providence, NT to explore the potential applications that the Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (Micro-UAV) and Unmanned Aerial Robot (Micro-AUR) platforms can play in the areas that are high risk to human life and high cost due to aircraft availability and fuel costs |

RD3 test flight with TMF AQ50 Pro FC on defaults, no configOut of the box, onto the frame, pluggd it in, and spent 30 secs on tx calibrationn, and then flew on a dead 3s turnigy-nano 2200 mAh pack. It even passed my gyro confusing stationary lean test. this is going to be one fun FC. |

Maiden test flight of RD35 Codename HighCam500XSome things are not obvious in this video, the construction of both the frame and the landing skids is very very light. The mount point of the legs are offset to accommodate an odd mounting gimbal contraption. so even with moving the lipo back on the frame to compensate, this frame wants to fall over forward unless you pull back on the pitch at take off, so it wants to lean forward at all times and you have to ride negative pitch to fly. Next we have the motor mounts, they seem to have a hit and miss key in them so that they lock in place and do not rotate on the arm, 3 out of 4 of the arms, locked in, and the fourth had no such lock. lastly, all of the motor mounts are somewhat off, so every prop run on a different plane. this makes this really tough to tune.

RD-16 Test flight - LOS ConfigI removed the FPV equipment to prepare for a cold weather filming session of the local 4 x 4 club, first did a turnigy nano 2200 3S - flight was 5 minutes of indoor 22c hovering and intentionally bobbing up and down. This flight was on a turnigy nano 5000 4s - same config, same flight style, 10 minutes. I needed to know rough flight times with these batteries when setup for LOS filming.. |

RD35 payload test - observerAll Up Weight (AUW/Flying weight) of 1250 grams, I then used two carbon fiber 12mm tubes zip tied on ether side of the struts of the landing gear (See pics) and mounted my Panasonic camcorder using two nylon zip ties, a mall sheet of rx foam and a velcro strap. Camera weight: 480grams, makeshift mount, 40 grams for a payload of 520 grams: total 1770 grams |
