James replied to 924aussie Alan's discussion Hovering above or tracking a moving target"apart from the absolute position, which we know will lag by a small amount, i think it is important to send as much data as possible along the lines of heading, ground speed, vertical speed (imagine tracking a mountain bike downhill). this…"

Greg Fletcher replied to 924aussie Alan's discussion Hovering above or tracking a moving target"Why do you say there would be a 20 second delay. GPS delay 1 to 2 secand max. You could transmit new data at 4 Hz easily. GPS tracker is infinitely easier with DIYdrones parts. How are you going to sense an infrared becon, with a camera? You will…"
