"Wow! Perfect!"
"If you are to discuss the skill level of the Luftwaffe pilots, the glider is not the only consideration.
I don't think anybody's trying to say the Glider was the ONLY consideration, indeed the usual explanation is that the Luftwaffe had so many…"

"I wonder if some of the techniques they're developing for the Makerplane could be used to make a DIY Schulgleiter?"
" An interesting concept came up in the comment thread for my recent blog post that it might be helpful to identify specific locations in every region where UAViators can experiment safely and meet others with similar interests. Is there anywhere…"
" Considering I'm in the midst my own flying wing project, the aerodynamics discussion is going to be majorly helpful, so I don't want to discourage anyone from adding further valuable insights on the matter.
But my mind keeps returning to how…"

"Not to keep piling on to the first comment but I must've overlooked this earlier-
No flying wings are not inherently more efficient then conventional aircraft.
So I'll just go ahead and say it... FLYING WINGS ARE INHERENTLY MORE EFFICIENT THAN…"

"I have read in a number of sources that the Ho IV suffered from stability issues due to an unforgiving C.O.G. Is this because it has such a broad wing sweep in proportion to the chord? Is that enormous bulge coming out of the bottom meant to…"
"I designed, built and flew a scale model of the Ho IX/229 some years ago, and later participated in the making of the NatGeo documentary, "Hitler's Stealth Fighter".
It looks like my hunch that DIYDrones would be the right crowd for this post…"

Hello All, This is my first post on DIYDrones though I have been active on MultiWii forums for a long time. I have been working on a very low-cost, aerial mapping UAV and documenting my efforts…
"Hello folks!
I'm in Harpswell, Maine and while I've been active in the PublicLab community for a couple years, I'm only just now getting acquainted with DIYDrones. I've been documenting a low-cost mapping UAV project…"

How a simple, DIY-inspired design helped create the worlds most dangerous flying corps. When World War 1 came to an end in 1918, the victorious allies took care to heavily restrict the military development of powered flight in the Treaty of…
" This looks fascinating! I'm a huge fan of MQTT, but I usually only ever see it being used in home automation, so this is certainly a laudable effort! I've been looking into using MQTT to transmit real-time vehicle tracking data within a hybrid…"
"I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but publicLab.org has done a lot of DIY infrared camera work over at- http://publiclab.org/wiki/near-infrared-camera
They have a free online tool for post-processing filtered imagery…"
