For tasks such as radiation and environmental monitoring using an unmanned air vehicle, it is necessary to maintain stable flight level. The authors used a PA-2 horizontal stabilization system, manufactured by Futaba Inc., to maintain the orientation of an unmanned aircraft during flight. This work represents the investigation of the characteristics of a PA-2 sensor unit in the laboratory. The authors obtained the optical and output characteristics of the sensor unit, operating angles, and dependence of output characteristics on UAV orientation.
