Je vous prie de bien vouloir aviser favorablement mon appartenance à ce projet. Je vous prie de ma faire savoir si le système de stabilisation – navigation peut être appliqué pour un hélicoptère.

Cordialement, Georges

Hello George,

Google Translate leads me to believe that you are asking if this
project could control a helicopter.

This project currently only supports airplanes, but with some small
software changes, it might be able to stabilize and navigate a
helicopter too.

The hardware should work very well for a helicopter, since it includes
support for a range sensor, which could be used to keep the helicopter
hovering at a set distance above the ground.

The one potential problem for a helicopter is that octopilot only has
gyroscopes for rotation around 2 axes (pitch and roll). Your
helicopter will need to have a built-in yaw-gyro to stabilize the
heading.

Best of luck!
Ben
