To put things in perspective, our TVs and DVDs use more encryption then the Predator's video downlink."

Adam Kaplan replied to mark's discussion I've never flawn an RC plane before. What simulator should I get to start out?"I would recommend searching out your nearest RC club and asking if anyone would be willing to give you some flight instruction. It will cost significantly less and give you a real feel for your platform rather than a simulated one."

"RTCA in my estimation (and participation) is biased and years off from delivering anything substantive. The sUAS ARC recommendations and SFAR (Public statements) are estimated to roll out fall of 2012. And even that date may be wishful thinking! The…"

Earlier tonight I had the pleasure of attending an AIAA seminar on Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the National Airspace System led by John Moore, a principal design engineer with Rockwell Collins.SC-203, a special committee requested by both the AOPA and the FAA, is currently drafting recommendations for policies that will "assure the safe operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) within the National Airspace System." A vast majority of the regulations SC-203 is in the process of drafting will…See More
Adam Kaplan commented on Hooks's blog post About Video Transmitter"Another important thing to consider is the included encryption option on some of those transmitters and receivers. FCC rules specifically forbid any encryption on 2.4ghz other than for remote control or telemetry. I would recommend steering clear of…"

"I used to have the thermaltake Tsunami, was pretty similar to your case"

"Adam,
Nice piece of work. However, since the reset pin spacing is less than 0.1 in, where did you get the connector from as it must be non-standard.

Adam Kaplan replied to Paul Har's discussion Ground Station Readout air speed"Does the "digital" number readout in the lower half of the gauge actually read 200 or does the "analog" dial point to 200?"

Do you have an unused PC lying around somewhere? Try ripping into your old desktop for its power button! My Thermaltake Soprano yielded a nice looking power button with a two-pin female connector, perfect for plugging right into the ArduShield.See More
Adam Kaplan commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Aurora VTOL drone prototype first flight"I haven't looked too far into the Excalibur's numbers, but does the promised 420 knots top speed (air or ground, anyhow?) account for payload? I read somewhere that it can pack four Hellfires."
Adam Kaplan commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post DIYdrones at Oshkosh?"And here you got me all excited for the DIY Drones booth. =P I'll actually be at Oshkosh for a day or two; if anyone has anything they'd like me to check out and report back on I'd be happy to make the rounds."
Adam Kaplan replied to Adam Kaplan's discussion EasyStar Fuselage Mod Question"The EzOSD? No, it consists of an OSD and a current-sensor plugged inbetween your battery and ESC. The NexStar comes standard with the speed breaks and wing extensions found here. They help with slowing the plane down for landing, but takesoffs with…"

"Adam,
The EZ* has speed brakes?

Adam Kaplan replied to Adam Kaplan's discussion EasyStar Fuselage Mod Question"Thanks Chris. Yes, I did mean the EasyStar (too many SomethingStars!), but it's been more than 15 minutes so I can't go back and hide my mistake. Anyhow, your response is exactly why I asked the question in the first place - without having…"
3D RoboticsChris Anderson replied to Adam Kaplan's discussion EasyStar Fuselage Mod Question
"You mean EasyStar, not NextStar, yes? I suppose you could find some way to use magnets to keep the body halves together, but it would be pretty risky and fiddly. What's the point? The advantage of the EasyStar is how easy it is to get to the…"
