Here my video component of Deliverable 2 for the 2010 OBC. According to section 6.2 of the rules the video must show the following:

Hi All,

This update contains some flight test results with video as well as software simulation and programming using the Paparazzi ground station.

Hi All,

I am currently being plagued by PPM encoder issues so i have been unable to fly the plane yet but i have forced on and achieved the following:

• Installed Autopilot and failsafe electronics.
• Installed & tested water bottle drop mechanism
• Installed and calibrated IR sensors.
• Installed & tested GPS
• Due to issues with the ppm encoder i have only achieved partial system integration however I am still able to switch between full-auto mode and full-manual mode via a workaround.

The jiffy box houses the Autopilot - Encoder - RC receiver - Failsafe device.
