"I'm backing. Nice project. So that sail is replaced by a fixed wing?"

"I'm with Luke. It might not be good for the one selling the genuine products from a direct point of view but it does have benefits for sure. Just consider someone buying a fake product because he doesn't have the bucks for the…"

"that can't be very efficient use of electricity?"

"Nice picture. Too bad the buildings in the back aren't truely vertical. Allthough the grass below seems horizontal. Or is it just the man in the front leaning to one side tricking me? Maybe my eyes went bad. Anyway something doesn't look…"

"Nice write up. I agree on the managing role for opensource projects. As a project owner you spent so much time organizing releases, website, documentation, pr, ... that you might not even get to development anymore. For a project to be successful…"

"Still very nice gesture. Make sure to post your build progress here! Looking forward to it"

"Yes I confirm that the EasyStar is much cheaper here in Europe. The motorpod and removable tail is certainly a big step forward. As far as I know the bixler doesn't have these features? Less room in the nose is indeed a step backward. Not sure…"

"Or google "nokia ftdi cable" for a super cheap solution with a 4.4 USD cable ment for nokia phones that can be stripped and rewired to use as an ftdi like usb programmer. It's not ftdi but it works for arduino programming so it should…"

"@John Moore: on your tablet for sure :p I like the idea. Is it fast enough? Bluetooth isn't very fast and then you're running on Android, no real time processing."

"Make it modular so people can get this to get started and then upgrade antenna's, video rx/tx, controller and finally the plane :-)"

"You're probably right about the bunch of young, hacker-ish people :). Throttle is indeed an issue on some controller alternatives. Not sure if it's any good idea but that could be solved by software also I think. If the software remembers…"

"Cool frame. Should be perfect help for orientation :)."

"Is that flexing in the wing or dihedral? Anyway probably that pic is not related to the product anyway since I see no smartphone and an antenna instead. Looks like a big challenge to get a RTF plane + autopilot electronics for that price. What I…"

"Nice work, and thanks for sharing! I plan to do something similar using the frsky protocol passing the information to my android cell. No real time there (frsky protocol is also rather slow). More like nice to have and just because I can. If video…"

"Nice integration! Does the pitot tube have to stick out that far? Or is that only done for the visual aspect?"

"This wiki has some info (like the pinout) on how I used this thing to convert to bluetooth ttl module: http://projects.onomato.biz/projects/android-dash/wiki/BlueTooth"
