Chuck commented on trappy's blog post Costa Concordia
"Wow TBS did an amazing job here and the intro paragraph about the reasoning was well done. Can't believe some of the close flying these guys pull off, I would never have been ballsy enough to fly through that crane with the cabling."

"While I love seeing quads start to flood into the market, I just cringe to think of all the inexperienced people that will be operating these devices over our heads and without similar restraint shown in the community. This article does a good…"

Chuck commented on Yusuf Pirgali's blog post HD video for UAV's
"Yea, there was a IndiGoGo project that was using the SteadiDrone QU4D platform to build an iPad controlled APM Quad, not sure what happened with it but they had claimed their top package would include HD Video. "

"@Scott I saw different comments on HobbyKing regarding flashing these units, have you attempted to flash SimonK at all? From my understanding the chipset is supported."

Chuck commented on Drone Savant's blog post Ohio nonprofit to run NASA civilian drone contest
"@Neill the only reason I considered #1 is for the relay effect where the "drone" may have better reception to the signal than the ground station. Since the ADS-B signal is transmitted by the aircraft, then repeated by the FAA there will…"

Chuck commented on Jonathan Hesselbarth's blog post ArduVTOL
"I would be very interested in the horizontal flight mode figures with a 4S 5000mAh looks like there is a lot of potential here!"

"@Mark make sure to get a decent external antenna with range in the 900-1100 range depending on which ADS-B you are going for. The dinky TV antenna that came with mine is very poor at picking them up and I had to add a new antenna, once done I pick…"

"From my understanding there are two frequencies for ADS-B 978MHz - Low altitude (Below 18,000') 1090MHz - High altitude However it sounds like the FAA will have automatic repeaters setup to rebroadcast one eachother's frequencies so we…"

Chuck commented on Joshua Johnson's blog post DIYDrones Chat Feature Info
"Might actually be easier to just detect screen resolution. We have had issues accurately detecting all mobile devices and the resolution method ended up winning in the long run since almost everyone's width of their screen today…"

Chuck commented on Jonathan Hesselbarth's blog post ArduVTOL
"Also, do you have any specs on loiter time based on a specific battery size with takeoff/landing included? This seems like a really interesting alternative to parachute driven fixed wing craft."

"This is the one I use: http://www.readymaderc.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=165_74&products_id=1296 For me, the USB method seems more convenient as it allows you to cut a smaller hold in the side of the plastic case…"

Chuck commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Man refuses to stop drone-spying on Seattle woman
"Of course we only get one side of the story but it sounds like the woman and man were very cordial about the encounter and the operator should have followed their requests or at least attempted to make some concessions like "I won't fly…"

Chuck commented on Joshua Johnson's blog post DIYDrones Chat Feature Info
"To Parth's comment I think the Chat system also helps the newer users in the community as they are more willing to ask a quick question than write up a detailed post that they are unsure if the wording/terminology is even correct on."
