"Also, separate telemetry question...

Does anyone have any true performance metrics on using mavproxy VS ser2net VS ???.

I see many people use ser2net, so I assume it's a proven (flyable) method. Has anyone actually flown an aircraft using mavproxy…"

"I literally just read the past 55 pages of comments to make sure I was "up to speed" before entering the convo...
