This website is a showcase of our RC projects. We design, build and utilize systems and components used in advanced RC aircraft. From Multicopters and Sailplanes used for FPV (first person view), to large scale aircraft with flight stabilization, Autopilot and robotic systems. We custom build systems for aerial photography, videography and 3D imaging.

Imagine learning to fly a UAV without it leaving the ground! 

A custom built RC Autopilot Flight Simulator is the best way to learn.

Helicopter, multicopter & fixed wing platforms. Please ask questions.

1. Gyro Stabilized Flight, allows the difficulty of the flight controls to be modified to make the aircraft easier to fly. Modes can be toggled in flight. These gyros can also be used to stabilize the movement of an onboard video camera.

2. FPV (First Person View) is the use of a Live camera, transmitter, ground reciever, and monitor to accomplish flying the aircraft remotely from the cockpit. Head Tracking gyros will then allow a 2 axis gimbled camera on the aircraft to follow the movement of the remote pilot's head.
3. Auto Pilot, is the accomplishment of preprogramming a flight plan prior to take off. Arduino based systems can manage hundreds of waypoints which can include altitude information. They can hold GPS position within a one meter area. With the use of sonar and motion sensors, they can avoid obstacles and hold relative position.

4. Autonomous Flight, is the ultimate goal. The aircraft knows what to do in certain circumstances; it can return home for example if radio reception is lost, it can land itself if the power supply is being exhausted, or it can reestablish an interupted grid flight pattern. The possibilities are endless.
