No But I want to develop a uav for over the ocean.  Do you know anyone that has done that?

Great.  We want to use one from a boat.   Can it be landed in that small an area?

John,

The only UAV I know of that can takeoff and land on a boat would be a helicopter or a tri - quad rotor aircraft.

I figured that.  But have you seen one do this?  The winds on the ocean and expense at dunking in the sea are huge obstacles.

John,

The only shipboard UAV operations that I know of are by the military or government.

This is not as difficult as it may sound.  Having the boat pointed into the wind, the plane can approach the boat slowly enough to be caught by hand.

What I would like to see is something for the masses that would assist as a lookout for boats in the sea.  A craft that would run a pattern with live shot beamed back to a monitor and then to come and land even into a net.  I think there would be a tremendous market for this.

SCANEAGLE was originally meant to do nearly the same thing.  It was meant to look for tuna from tuna boats instead of expensive helicopters...

I too am a newbie & would like to meetup with both of you. I have a 3DR Hex with Naza w/GPS and a 3DR Quad with APM 2.5 w/GPS. I only have them built but have yet to make them fly. I need help with calibrating both rigs. I'm in the SouthBay but will travel to north county.
