Congratulations!

Congrats ATI Resolution 3, Hobby Lobby Senior Telemaster, Hobbyking Skywalker, and Avior-lite autopilot on your recent milestones!

Avior-lite (beaglebone + apm2 hybrid) autopilot:

300th logged flight
7000+ logged flight minutes (117.8 hours)
6400+ fully autonomous flight minutes (107.2 hours)
2895 nautical miles flown (3332 miles, 5362 km)

Hobby Lobby Senior Telemaster (8′ wing span)

Actively flight testing autopilot hardware and software changes since 2007!
200th logged flight.
5013 logged flight minutes (83.5 hours)
4724 fully autonomous flight minutes (78.7 hours)
2015 nautical miles flown (2319 miles, 3733 km)

Today (October 7, 2015) I logged the 300th avior-lite flight and simultaneously logged the 200th flight on my venerable Senior Telemaster. I realize these are just numbers, and they wouldn’t be big numbers for a full scale aircraft operation or even a production uav operation, but it represents my personal effort in the UAV field.

I’m proud of a mishap-free 2015 flying season so far! (Ok, err, well one mishap on the very first launch of the skywalker … grrr … pilot error … and fixable thankfully.)

Enjoy the fall colors and keep flying!
