(Via AUVSI, really only relevant to USA-ers:)Click on the link below to send a timely and important e-mail to your Member of Congress supporting the House FAA Reauthorization Bill (HR 658), which includes provisions granting unmanned aerial systems…
"Very cool! I'm actually modding my TX to do something similar :-)"
"I had same problem as an earlier guy, but i had to make a paypal account. I put in #62 wire transfer, but it said distributor only, so i put in #63 w/ a new paypal account, which i now have to go cancel..."
"@Peter looks like top tube is the static tube. you can see the tiny holes in the side, and the end should be capped. the lower tube looks like the pitot tube (hole in the end)
My question is on the tubes as well. I thought rule of thumb was twice…"

"Now would be an excellent opportunity to look at the mechanisms by which we share the board designs. Right now there is no good (dedicated) solution.
SparkFun and DIYDrones Store have some products with links to the board files in the bottom, but…"

Hey guys,Has anyone else experienced a failure in the APM mux?I've been playing around with my APM and today I was playing with the dancing servo demo with some (really crappy somewhat dead) servos i've have scrounged from crashed planes.Now I've…
"There have been UAVs (rc planes) made with PEMFC's (this kind of fuel cell). Check out Ion Tiger: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/10/091013123350.htm
Just goes to show what kind of flight time you can get out of a Fuel Cell, a Hydrogen…"

(I applied for membership to the arducopter dev list but figured it was worth posting here anyways)I'm a student in Electrical Engineering student at university, and I'd like to work with ArduCopter in developing a new Electronic Speed Controller…
"This may be of interest to anyone using arduino's for the AUVSI Student Underwater Vehicle Competition. I'll ping my universities' team, and I'd advise others to do the same :-)"
"No idea how much you've delved into the RC flying community (sans drone/autopilots), but IMHO this community is sorta like an organic extension of that.
There are lots of airframes and styles, and there will always be many. The best systems and…"

"Any way to make this work under linux?"
"I have to give a quick <3 to the red-monokote covered telemaster :-)
We (NC State University Aerial Robotics) love our (modified) red 8' telemasters.

"maybe not suitable for a podcast (audio only) but i think it'd be neat to maybe do a lesson on some of the math behind autopilots and autonomous flying. theres a lot to explore, and i'm not sure if this community would rather see basics (overview of…"
"I wonder how the 'no discrimination against people/groups' will work out with ITAR restrictions. Especially here in the realm of unmanned/autonomous aircraft and autopilots. Small fast aircraft + autopilot + payload => guided missile, so we (I say…"
"You might get a different answer from everyone, so for what it's worth here's mine.
I'm in a university UAV team so we have all kinds of safety regulations when we fly. Long story short we have an external-to-the-autopilot end-all-be-all safety…"
