How to... / Autonomous Gliding

« Last post by hypnotoad on August 07, 2025, 21:17:10 PM »

Hi everyone,
I am new to the site and to gliding in general. I was wondering if you guys have a solution to mounting cameras at the wing tips? What do you recommend? I currently have picamera modules 3 and they are 25mm x 25mm so a bit bulky. I have developed a completely autonomous control system for a glider.....which probably defeats the purpose of what you guys are doing but .......well.......it is what it is.

Any tips regarding wingtip cameras are most welcome!

Events / Bray Air Display 2025

« Last post by Fred on July 28, 2025, 18:14:36 PM »

For the ones traveling to this year’s Air Display in Bray, go say Hi to the Model guys!

I believe they will be beside the Irish Army tents etc.

The Model Display will be managed by the lads from the SFRC and the Roundwood Clubs. Lots of time spent by the guys to organise the display, and I believe they will give flyers etc and showcase a few models from trainers to more advanced machines.

Anyway, go say hello if you are around.
