Airplane--Fixed-Wing-UAV

An arduino based remote controlled airplane with PID control loop using MPU6050

It is a fully Arduino based RC plane.Flight controller, Transmitter all are made using Arduino.The range is more than 1KM.
Transmitter and receiver system are made using arduino and NRF24 transreceiver and there is also a LCD display showing the pitch and roll trim values on the transmitter. There was also an MPU6050 gyro and accelerometer sensor installed on the plane for PID control, self-balancing the airplane in strong winds.

THINGS USED:

A2212 1000kv brushless motor with 10x4.5 propeller.
30A simonk ESC.
One 9g plastic servo on the elevators.
One MG90S metal gear servo for the aileron.
Battery meter.

FLIGHT CONTROLLERS/RECEIVER:

Arduino Nano
NRF24l01(PCB Type)

TRANSMITTER:

Arduino UNO
nRF24L01+ PA/LNA(antenna type)
MB102 3.3v regulator
2 analog joysticks

NOTE

• The code is commented enough to understand everything.
  

• If the transmitter doesn't transmit connect a 100 microfarad capacitor on the NRFantenna module.If it doesn't work even after that then using the non-antenna type PCB NRF24 module on the transmitter will be the only solution I guess.The reason is that the antenna type gives too much of issues regarding power, noise, etc.
