"Well, I watched the final few minutes of bidding and it did not sell. There was only 1 bid and it did not meet the reserve."
"True, the 400 foot and LOS portions would still be there, and I agree with them. I suppose you could make a deeply philosophical statement and say if it improved his ability to earn income it must be commercial. If we go to that length though, would…"
"Was it $100K? I looked at one of these a while back and thought it was around $20K but maybe my memory is faulty. I do remember pricing the complete Carvec package last year at $14.5K for the smaller of the two systems they offered. These things are…"
"As I was reading this I wondered if the FAA actually has any say in his exact application of this technology. He is flying exclusively over his own property. He owns the CropCam and flys it himself so there isn't anyone else involved. The pictures…"
"This may be old school, but can you pulse the beacons? If so, can you pulse them in Morse Code? The numbers 1 through 9 are all done with a set of 5 pulses, either dashes or dots, but always in sets of 5. Your idea for the base pulse and length…"
"That HyperBlimp looked interesting, but I did not see anything on the website about dimensions, lift capacity, or anything else of that nature."
"I think these guys have made a good contribution to our efforts. "Results" don't happen instantly. We are being run over by a governmental beauracracy and I for one think we need all the help we can get. We also should explore every avenue open to…"
"Well, I have been looking at the documentation released by the FAA over the last few weeks and I am concerned. John, could you tell us if it will be legal to use: a slow stick, with an rc system controlling it, lifting a Pentax Optio camera, for the…"
"John, has there been any discussion of what information they will want logged and reported on a per flight basis? Given they are headed towards regulations, I am sure these will include some form of documentation on the part of the operators."
http://www.centeye.com/Guys, check out this site, they are doing some very interesting things. They have a chip that mimics the vision of insects using optical flow. This is mounted in a free flight model plane and keeps it from flying into…
"If I am following this right, this is an autopilot for a helicopter? I am looking for something that will give a stable hands-free hover so I can do some aerial photography. I plan on the flight being done by rc, I just want that ability to hover…"
"This reminds me of my previous life in the Army working with weather balloons. For a stretch of about 6 months we used the highest altitude weather balloon the Army has, design burst height was 105,000 feet. We routinely broke 90,000 feet and had…"
