Brent commented on Chris Anderson's blog post PrecisionHawk gets first FAA waiver to fly beyond visual line of sight using LATAS system
"So how is it safe to fly BVLOS if there is no sense and avoid? What am I missing?
Why is the Cessna 150 flying around at 2000' agl the biggest risk?
ADS-B out is going to cost upwards of 10K to purchase and install on a general aviation aircraft,…"

Brent replied to Forrest Frantz's discussion Vibration--Finally Solved ... The Frantz Strut
"Nice work and application on the Frantz strut.
I agree on the need to balance and remove as much source vibration as possible. I always started with a balanced prop and motor combo then running each up individually. Turning the prop 90deg at a time…"

Brent commented on Jared Reabow's blog post Airbus in near miss with craft that ghosted into Britain’s biggest airport undetected by air traffic control
"Gary that's nonsense. A typical glideslope is 3 degrees from the touchdown zone of the runway so if you remember your trig you will find the aircrafts height at the distance from the runway. It's really easy, 300' per mile is the rule of thumb.…"

Brent commented on Chris Anderson's blog post FAA issues notice clarifying legal model aircraft use, bans FPV goggles?
"It's not a new law per say, it's a new defined definition of what the FAA deems "line of vision". The current regs which will be used to enforce are listed in the last page."

Brent commented on Chris Anderson's blog post FAA issues notice clarifying legal model aircraft use, bans FPV goggles?
"Clearly some of this heavy handed approach is in response to a very public FPV incident in which the feds were made to look less then competent in enforcing rules governing model aircraft operations.
It was only a matter of time before a reckless…"

Brent commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Ohio drone user charged for obstructing an accident scene
"Why would somebody think that was a good idea? Maybe he is a member and will give his side to the story."

"How about the 100KM badge? are those guys noobs also?"

Brent commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Glider pilot surprised by drone in thermal
"But know-nothing newbies should not have free reign to use our system to fly like this.

Brent commented on moglos's blog post Anatomy of a 100km attempt
"Maja is just not a nice clean airframe, reminds of a C-130 cargo plane. On the positive side it should have lots of room for batteries. You might even to be able to strap one under each wing next to the fuselage, I've seen this done on EZ stars for…"

Brent commented on Tissy's blog post DroidPlanner Telemetry Bluetooth Bridge
"What's the range. I think it would nice to put the module up on a twenty foot mast for good reception."

Brent commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post AscTec and E-volo VC 200 takes flight.
"Nice, but I'd be really impressed if a pilot climbed in it and flew it out the hanger door for a trip around the field. Why not?"

Brent commented on elad orbach's blog post Crowdfund A Collapsible RC Tricopter
"It's a solid tried and proven design, you just need to loose the metal. Every gram is robbing flight time. Replace it with carbon and use nylon hardware.
Also that stock Turnigy rx does not handle failsafe last time I checked so that could be an…"

"It's a pig.
Jonorama's old Creep tri's weighed half that using gyros, and half the cost also!

Brent commented on elad orbach's blog post Crowdfund A Collapsible RC Tricopter
"I started flying these on PG-03 gyro's and then switched to HK-401's  which were a big improvement.
Never as stable as a quad because of the tail rotor movement and gyroscopic forces, but they just look cool and still loads of fun."
