When you're designing your airframe, try the following links:

  • Turbocad offers a free 2D CAD program. They also offer a very reasonably priced 3D CAD program. Their products seem to have a fair number of bugs, but when you really get frustrated, go get a price for Autocad. Look for Free Sortware under the site map.
  • The RcCad site offers a free CAD program as well as lots of plans (in the RcCad proprietary format).
  • An online aerodynamics text book (demonstration version)
  • DJ Aerotech has an excellent Question and Answer site with lots of good explanations of various RC model design issues
  • Yet another aerodynamics text (has different levels covering high school to introductory college)
  • A good RC related index.
  • A page containing equations for static thrust, engine horsepower, maximum speed etc.

When its time to build your airframe, the following links may be useful:

If you're looking for other experimenters working on UAVs, try:

There are many sensors you may wish to consider:

Some electronics and RC electronics links you may wish to investigate:

Ken Hewitt's RC electronics projects/kits
Another set of links to RC electronics sites

When the time comes to write your software, here are some links:
