For the past month or so, I've been designing a drone.
This past week, I completed the design for the plane, run it by an aerospace engineer friend - who approved of the design, said it will fly -, and have shown off the 3d rendering to people. That's it on the side.
If it isn't obvious, the design is heavily influenced by the P38 lightning, so I only really need a rudimentary design, I already know that it should fly.
Now, for the brains.
I plan on purchasing an Android dev phone 1 soon, because I need a new phone (current one is 4 years old), and it's the sexiest Android phone on the market, in my opinion. The droid isn't sexy, sorry.
Also, the dev phone is fully open, meaning I will have no moral problem with running my own version of android, which will contain a native app that will serve as the brains to my drone.
I don't have much details on the actual software. I just know that, for the first version, I plan on the drone just being remote controlled.
