"Go to the Mavlink homepage - there is a reference implementation written in Python already."
"I've been working sporadically on something similar, to test the .Net port of the Mavlink generator code"
"I ran a 250g quad with Hextronik 10g motors (1811 I think?)
Now I have a Hex with the same motors ~380g
Both have 5x3 3 blade props.
These motors are quite cheap, there may be better ones out there."

"* Yes replace the bent motor shaft for sure.
* Balance all props, do not use any props which have nicks or dings from crashes. Reject any props which do not track straight.
* Check your center of gravity
If it still leans when all of the above seems…"

"Is there any recommendation for a android tablet which has USB? I see lots of android tabs coming from the east very cheap now, is there a minimum OS version, memory, etc?
I'd probably not use it for anything other than a GCS."

"+10 points to Jason - if you are getting into this hobby and are stocking up with tools and such, get yourself a tube of solder flux, and some tin/lead solder. 'Lead Free' solder is NOT better for the hobbyist, it's what most shops sell however. "
"I don't think the Crius AIOP can accept firmware form Mission planner, those images are for the APM.
I think you use ArduplaneNG compiled and uploaded via Arduino "

"Interesting - I bought something similar from ebay but it is really thick glass fiber - 3mm I think so very heavy, These would be perfect for mounting minimOSD, telemetry etc if they had holes/slots for zip ties to go through"
"Doesn't the planner do graphs already anyway?"
"As much as I find distastful this Carbon-Copy cloning of open source hardware, I wish I saw more evidence of what we all hoped would come from open source hardware - people developing furrther the hardware design. Say for example someone making an…"
"Possibly this is to cater for the difference in byte endianess between Mavlink v1.x and v0.9?"
"Is your array packing right? Looks like you are trying to pack a 12 byte payload + 1 byte start marker + 2 bytes crc into 14 bytes?
Watever it is, one approach would be to capture a live heartbeat from an APM, then set your hardcodes to be the same…"

"Mono compatibility."
"Perhaps post any available logs you have"
"This OSD (due to the Maxim chip that it uses) is quite picky about the number of video lines it is receiving. 'Better' cameras with a higher resolution tend to have more issues than poorer cameras.
As part of the debugging effort, try switching out…"

"I've heard that the USB -> serial support in the official RT API is weak to none. Perhaps it is possible with a jailbroken app, sounds hard.
We need someone to come up with a bulletproof and cheap 3DR -> Wifi Access point. Then you could use a…"
