Concept CAD sketching of airframe

Successful flight test with wireless telemetry setup "taped" to the "wing". When in doubt, more tape. Not proud of this setup, but it was timely and got the job done for testing.

No crashes amazingly, but it is very obvious we need a different airframe for a test bed as we start adding components and ultimately the autopilot parts.

The GPS is talking to Arduino then sending that to the Xbee and then to PC successfully now.

Using Earth Bridge (http://mboffin.com/earthbridge/) for the ground station tracking right now. Very sweet application for plotting the data in google earth. The software is a little buggy (to be expected as it is beta), but it will work for now.

Now for putting this all into a package suitable for the flight testing.

Case for Xbee and Arduino Mini Pro board. GPS will be in different case in order to stay away from Xbee Antenna.

Progress Tonight!!! Using the Adafruit Xbee adapter instead of the SparkFun regulated board which I could not get both that I had to work.
