We have a contingency plan consisting of several phases. Phase 1, at this point in time is nearing completion, as the Mugi Evo is nearly finished. It was mostly assembled kit, but so far it has helped us understand the basic control features of the plane ans well as transmitter programming, both essential for an autonomous vehicle.
So far, progress has gone well, with few upsets - the plane is now only awaiting a new clevis to attach the control rod to the servo, and a brushed motor controller to control the motors. We also need to find a way to attach the battery to both a servo lead as well as the standard battery connector.
Both are crrently being shipped in, with a total of approx 110 pounds spent on the project already.
Just so you know what Phase 1 will attempt to look like, here's a picture from the manufacturer's website.
