"Hi there, you should update the photo at the top or your post. That nano talon couldn’t feasibly carry an object the size of that “medical bag.”"
"@ d j, you said a $50 smartphone as an RTK GPS? Can you make that please to verify your statement is correct?"
"Double Hard Pass."
"Hi there, just to be clear are you saying you want to build a solar powered quadcopter because it is less complex than a solar powered fixed wing aircraft because it only has to hover? And you want the solar powered quadcopter to stay aloft for…"
"Is it a helicopter?"

"I've got that motor set stashed somewhere at the bottom of a storage bin. Did you ever get any data from your tests you can plot?"
"I think a good rule of thumb is to steer clear of for-profit schools. Are there any community colleges in the area you're thinking of moving too? It could be a cheaper alternative and the credits can be transferable to a four year program if you…"
