  • Abstract
    A state-space model for a small radio-controlled helicopter in hover is developed. Linear estimation is used to identify parameters of the model. The parameter variances are used to develop an uncertainty description of the system. An LQG controller with setpoint tracking is designed and implemented on this system.
