Chris Norris commented on Jared Reabow's blog post Drone causes disruption at Gatwick airport, But where is the evidence AGAIN!

"I was thinking in the interest of clarity it might be an idea to keep track of what we're all doing as Ning doesn't seem to have that feature. Soooooo.....

Chris Norris commented on Patrick Poirier's blog post MINI-Zee: a $100 DIY smart drone with the Pi Zero and APM
