A concern I would have with this product is the required monthly fee, but other than that it seems like a nice concept.

It's always a good idea to optimize images when making posts. The images above are 3.5mb and 2.5mb which makes the entire drones site quite slow for some users. I hope you don't mind my pointing this out :)

Fab, +1.  I was wonder why all of a sudden my computer ground to a halt.

Also don't like the subscription fee.  We already pay too many monthly fees for this stuff.

Ellison. The same applies to the flash pictures at the top of the main diyd page. I suspect that some of those examples/photos are also very large. As a test I wrote an extension for IE that specifically blocked the flash control at the top of diydrones.com and the main page started to work at a great speed. It's worth suggesting to Chris that he reviews the size of those pictures. I think it might cause a number of people to avoid using diyd. If it's not the picture sizes then it's the flash control itself causing the slowness

Hi guys,

Can someone give more info about the imp card?...what's inside...which ICs are used....etc?

Comment by Ellison Chan on May 31, 2012 at 9:33am

Nick, go to their site. DIYDrones is not connected with them, so you're not going to get much info here.

Fab, I hadn't noticed, but I can mention it to Chris. We (moderators) have no control over that.  This post is fixed.  I save a smaller image and re-uploaded it.
