Patrick Wells commented on Randy's blog post ArduCopter 3.2.1 released
"Randy,
Thanks for the clarification. I've personally had an MPU6k failure in flight that resulted in a pretty nasty crash. 3DR is replacing the Pixhawk for me so we're good there. I'm just wondering if the new update may prevent a crash in flight?"

" b) improved MPU6k health monitoring and re-configuration in case of in-flight failure
Could you expand on what exactly happens in this scenario with the new firmware?I've had the in flight hardware failure so I'm curious.

Thanks"

"Scott is spot on with his reference to pertinent data.

Scott- what are your maturity issues with 3DR?"

Patrick Wells commented on Colin Snow's blog post Drone Tech Winners and Losers at the Precision Aerial Ag Conference 2014
"I somewhat agree on the positioning.
The issue I see is that the price point has been set for the most part.  I would guess that most of the big companies will not be interested in producing equipment at that level of pricing."
