<font face="Comic Sans MS">This is a good video overview of building
a hobby drone. He explains the systems pretty well. </font>The
controller is Ardruino based and does gyroscopic attitude control
and navigation. It can be programed for way points. You fly the
plane either by the usual RC set (which these days is Spread
spectrum around 2.4 GHz) or a separate data radio so you can use a
laptop to program the computer in flight. There is a camera for FPV
(First Person View). The radio for the video stream has a box on
it which overlays data from the Ardupilot so as you fly you have an
OSD (On Screen Display) showing attitude, position, direction,
altitude, battery charge and other stuff. BTW the software which
you control the OSD has a provision for entering your call sign in
case you use a ham band, that allows you to be legal IDing your
station. It has GPS of course. It's all OTS! <br>
