Abstract
This study will lead to realize a remote control support system for a model aircraft, especially a radio-controlled helicopter. Recently, the Aerial Photographing that uses the radio-controlled helicopter becomes active on business. However, it needs a skilled operator of the radio controller helicopter. Some autonomous control type radio-controlled helicopters were reported. But they consist of specialized airframe and special controller, and they are so expensive that the local government, a company, and etc. may not operate them. So, we present a remote control support system consists of hobby-class radio-controlled helicopter and microcomputers, various sensors. The aims of this system are simplification of the control operation and safety improvement. This paper reports some experimental results on automatic takeoff and landing in practical situation.
