"It's done, 75,000$ down!  Congrats Dennis!"

"How long until the quadcopters are stable and powerful enough to lift a Kinect + Atom board?"

"Hi Andrew, looks interesting but I wonder about the motor?  Why do you need it if all you're doing is returning (gliding) back from high altitude?"

"I'll re-iterate with the others here, interesting work.  I was planning on doing the same flight but with a Hobbyking Skyfun w/ APM2.  Keep in mind, a dive to 500kts will be guaranteed to rip off your wings even with the low air density.  Probably…"

"Yes the parts list clearly shows "MOSFET brushed motor drivers""

"I agree with Paul, penpen and Marco's comments, no worries if the box is well insulated.  
That said, the atmospheric model shown above is the 'standard.'  If you're looking to see if your box will perform well, you need to add standard temperature…"

"Could somebody link me to the text about the sub-4.4lb use?

thanks!"

"Actually the navigation and ground avoidance would be pretty easy on a phone or even an APM with enough storage.  
For example in Canada, you can download Digital Elevation Maps that are fairly accurate, a 1:50,000 scale map is only 500kb (8m…"

"This is a good idea, but I think the real problem with the gopro is its aerodynamics.  I think somebody should design an aerodynamic FPV (or motorsports, etc..) case that will definately sell well!"

"If the main source of blur is turbulence, maybe increase the wing loading on your plane?  It will make it more stable."

"Thanks!
It's pretty interesting, obviously as you say it needs some tweaking but you can already tell which areas of grass needs some watering ;)"

"Could you try running the imageJ macro found at the bottom of this page: http://www.maxmax.com/desert_study.htm?"

"Chris,
what's the flight speed of your aircraft?  Maybe the blur could be reduced at low speed (30km/hr) and slightly higher altidue."

"Good post, It would be interesting to try and get the NVDI filter (to run in ImageJ) from maxmax.com and try running your images through it..."
