Before testing the Arduplane autopilot on the Predator plasma UAV, we are sequentially testing each of its functions on a traditionally actuated Bixler glider. Today, we try out the loiter (maintain altitude given a radius of curvature to hover about) and waypoint navigation (go to predefined GPS coordinates) functions.

Here is the latest from Lake Lagunita:
