"I had also considered an induction-based charge method but saw issues with the amount of current required as well as the balancing ability.
A trickle charge application would be ideal for this, how would you charge and balance a 6S 10amp battery…"

"I've experienced this before as well and could only correlate it to fast forward flight coupled with not even altitude to absorb the dip that occurs as the baro situates itself.
I've read about people using better foam over the baro, does that…"

"@Patrick very good point, sir. I also just noticed you're about 2 hours away from me. Going to shoot you a message here shortly."
"@Patrick I'm using mavproxy on the companion board.
My reasoning is for the following scenario, mind you I'm leaving out all irrelevant details of a much bigger concept... A UAV that is geographically separated from the operator, even at launch.…"

"@Patrick, since I'm using BBB, there's not raspivid element... The command I use is just the gstreamer portion and I've only ever stopped/started it using an SSH session to execute a script.
I haven't tried it yet, but I assume I should be able to…"

"@Roberto -- correction to my post above, the link now mysteriously works ;) probably something I was doing."
"@Patrick, my thoughts exactly. I knew that the standard telem radios only supported ~57k so I figured pushing that through modern broadband would make negligible difference on the delivery.
@Roberto , not sure what I am doing wrong, but clicking…"

"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…"

"Wow... What happened?
Do you have any logs from this flight?"

"Realizing you wrote this 3 years ago, I am just curious if you still hold this opinion? Do you think the APM project (ie. PixHawk) has matured enough to be comparable to the DJI proprietary FCs?
If not, in what ways does APM fall short?

"Check again good sir, there are many of us in San Antonio, myself included!"
"Did you have any luck figuring this out? I had a similar experience twice in a row today.. Haven't had a chance to review my logs yet (flew on my lunch break) "
"Did this work?"
"Well in any case, if someone from the central Texas region stumbles upon this post, please check out the newly formed Central Texas Drone Users Group MeetUp site."
