"Would it be better to use only bluetooth or only wifi? Which one is better for this application?"

"Jeremy, I take it you are not really using wifi (802.11), only the chipset right?"

"Wow thats fantastic! And yes your right about boosting the power and frying the chips, I've read about people bricking them online. Will you be posting a build log of your Overo Fire anytime soon? I bought one of those boards a few months ago…"

"That seems like an awfully big footprint to use in a plane though. Those boards are not that small, even though they dont weigh much. Just my opinion. With my gumstix I still have yet to pass 35% cpu usage and its streaming video sending data to the…"

"Well, my intention originally was using the link for video and telemetry (so latency is not really an issue as long as it stays under a couple of seconds or so)"
