"Might it be possible/helpful for the aft prop to rotate down instead of up? That way it could still be used for forward thrust instead of just getting dragged along."
"Thanks for the shout out Chim. I'm sorry to be an example of the wrong response to this sort of thing. My situation is probably different from most people in the hobby. To get the setup I want (I have a plane and radio) would mean using almost…"
"So Chim, there's nothing to worry about? I like your comment, because it's what I want to hear, but it seems like there is a lot of talk about drone regulation in all areas of the government (local, state and federal). I agree that this particular…"
"Though after seeing them side by side, I like Greg's more."
"Similarly to Greg, I went for visibility. Sorry for quality, I'm only using an old version on Powerpoint."
"Anxiously awaiting details... full specs, expected flight times/range, what (if anything) comes apart for transport, price, lead time?"
"Will this eventually be a commercial product? If it comes apart easily, then it's exactly what I'm looking for. Outstanding work!"
"I can't wait to see some build logs."
"Exactly... but where are the changes HK has made? As stated by others, I think it would be great if they took APM2.5 and did something different to it... add something... change something... experiment.
I'd just like those to stand to profit from…"

"I agree with Andrew Radford and Ellison Chan. Open source is free to all. Contributions are encouraged. This is a community based thing. When HK first put up APM 2.5 they didn't even mention DIYDrones or the people involved, though they did…"
"OK Vova, It's next week.... What's the price?"
"I posted this on FPVLab and someone posted this.

It's out of date but he said he would give me access so I can update it. Please look it over and post things it's missing."

I wonder if some has (or could make) a grid comparing the various autopilots out there. Perhaps put a cap on cost (under $1000?) so it's focused on the hobbyist. I'd love to be able to look at them all side by side.
"It looks from the site that it will come ARF, is this correct? Will this be an "add your RX and battery and go"? Will the wing extensions, additional fins and additional fuselages be available right away? Any idea of the cost of these?"
I'm always on the look out for a "perfect" plane. What I've learned is that there is no such thing, every airframe is a compromise. The idea now is to find the most versatile aircraft. This might be it.There has been a lot of buzz around this…
"I wonder why GoPro doesn't come out with a streamlined model. Something tells me that my search for the "perfect" camera is going to end up like my search for the perfect plane... it doesn't exist."
