Noticed cogging here and there in the videos on their site, especially at the end of the second."

Muhammad Al-Rawi commented on Stefan Gofferje's blog post Control high power LEDs (1W, 3W) from the APM 2.5 LED output"Not a very good angle, but this is what I had going on my quad.

Muhammad Al-Rawi commented on Jeff Wurzbach's blog post Misadventures in power electronics"@ Charles That's a very good point. Looking around, I wasn't able to find a small switch that would take the current. "
Muhammad Al-Rawi commented on Jeff Wurzbach's blog post Misadventures in power electronics"I'd imagine it would be useful to have the power switch only toggle the motors in a multi-rotor application. That way one could make adjustments or adjust parameters or something with the safety of knowing the motors are dead.

Muhammad Al-Rawi commented on Paul Hanson's blog post Quad loses half a propeller mid flight"That's very impressive! Gotta keep an eye out for those stress marks. "
Muhammad Al-Rawi commented on ronin57's blog post Ninjacopters - New frame design"I wonder how much efficiency is wasted by all that flat surface area under the props.
Not too big a fan of all those pointy edges either..."

Great. Are you at the University or elsewhere? Are you pretty familiar with Mission Planner and the like, as well?

Just starting. This is pretty new to me. I'm looking to use it as a cheap remote sensing platform. If I haven't figured it out by then, I'd love to meet with you and see what you can tell me. I'm not sure if you're in school or working or what, but if you're looking to get involved with a research project, we're a neat lab and always looking for more folks.
