Re: [OSM-talk] Remote Sensing / DOP / DIY people

Hi Florian, Here is the photo [1] of my DIY Tiny Trainer RC airplane, which I built from the FliteTest speed build kit [2]. This is the 4 channel plane (ailerons, elevator, rudder, throttle). It flies surprisingly well. Actually, it can even perform basic aerobatics. At the store page there

Re: [OSM-talk] Remote Sensing / DOP / DIY people

Hi Florian, The DIY RC aircraft approach has got some other advantages, not only the initial cost: the plane can be easily repaired, parts may be reused for another project, one can build a airplane capable to carry any equipment, etc. Besides, if one learns to build an airplane one can

From my modest RPAS pilot experience, I can tell that during a flight planning, while using different sources: maps, satellite images, GPS traces, Wikimedia images, videos, etc. I kind of inadvertently build in my head a 3D model of an area, paying attention to distinctive landmarks, and

I worked for ten years as a GOO (ground operations) at a major airline. I realize that the OSM map is not used by airmen, at least not officially. I am a certified RPAS (remotely piloted aircraft system) pilot. While planning a flight at a certain place I look at the official special maps
