Joystick Controlled Helicpter
From: Josh Alex

The two videos above were sent in by Josh Alex. Josh put together an incredible tutorial/infomative video on how he setup his PCTx and ServoCommander software to fly an R/C helicpter using a Saitek joystick. He reports that it took him less than an hour to get his helicopter setup and flying around with the system! Thank you for your submission Josh and keep those videos coming.

Joystick Controlled R/C Plane
From: Mark Harris

The PC controlled stryker was one of our first project submissions. Mark setup his PCTx along with some custom control software he wrote to controll his R/C plane via a joystick. From the looks of the videos it looks like this thing is a blast to fly around. Mark now runs a business called Intelligent Flight which markets nifty devices like an OSD board and camera systems for FPV flying. Check out what he is working on at www.intelligentflight.com.au

Security Rover
From: Thomas Coyle

This submission involves the use of a PCTx to achieve remote user control and tele-autonomous control of a security rover Thomas designed. Thomas is currently still in the process of building his rover but he plans to outfit it with an arm and camera that will be used to guide the rover by user control to interesing objects and then by using heat sensors to autonomously track obejcts of interest he finds wondering around his property. Keep it up Thomas!

GIS R/C Plane
From: Edan Cain

Edan designed an awesome software application that allows him to capture images via an R/C plane along with GPS coordinates of where the image was captured. A live video feed can (Black square not activated for screen shot) also be viewed from the application. GPS data is also fed back to the controller PC and incorporated into the HUD to provide the real time telemeter data you see in the image. Edan is currently working on building his own headtracker and writing a auto pilot/guidance system for the elevator and rudder to correct some of the planes drift.
