No problems at flying at 100'000 feet have done it during my PhD project building a meteorological drone flying back expensive Instruments of up to 2kg weight
The only challenges are to conquer the cold and the high flying speed once…"
"This type of glider or aircraft is already used on different measuring campaigns.
And it is used because the instruments used on the Glider are very expensive and they need to be berought back especailly in ares where there a re a lot of mountains…"

"In terms of safety its very likely that they fail on the same time since everything is the same (hardware, software etc.).
But I probably found now one from mtk..."
HyI currently use two NEO-M8N uBlox GPS/GLONASS receiver. Now since two identical manufactured GPS receivers do not really help for reliability I like to use one uBlox NEO-M8N and another manufactured one.Does someone have experience with other…
DJI has just released a new video with a new feature which comes very handy when you film from a copter and do all the camera controlling by yourself.You can slowly accelerate to maybe 10km/h then flip a switch on the transmitter and its keeping…
