Chris commented on Haley Hu -'s blog post Tersus GNSS Easy Kits
"How about some prices, or at least the ball park. Its something that actually pushes me away from buying from places that in this day in age who use the internet do not think its reasonable to have their prices available online for a product.

If…"

Chris commented on JLJu's blog post DIY Air Data Computer Asgard
"@Jose, I agree with @robert and @hugues, I suggest you go back and review the website.  Its not clear, it seems to have technical info but that wont get people wanting to use the item.  You need to clearly articulate what the device does and how it…"

Chris commented on Kristaps Brass's blog post Precision of Vertical Maneuvers – It's All About Safety
"I suspect what's happening is that Arducopter is saying it's hitting the waypoint early as it goes up, thats why your getting a lift before and a drop before the actual waypoint.  Some tweaking of the parameters should yield far better results if…"

Chris commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post No more $5 FAA fee, John Taylor wins his case.
"Hi JB,
Good breakdown of the groups, it's how i look at it too.
I think it's important to clarify that Sub 2kg (or excluded category) flying have a bunch of additional rules that they have to follow - way more than a hobbyist.  Technically a…"

Chris commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Solo Android app update: rewind, pano, zipline and more
"Hi Chris A, thank you for making sure this happened.  Sadly today was a wet and windy day so no flying for me, hopefully I'll get to give the Zipline a go on the weekend.  Any chance we will see Geo Fence in the Android app?  No pressure but it…"

Chris left a comment on Outback Challenge
"Hi Tridge,
'that doesn't work as I tried to explain previously. The problem is the two radios in the support aircraft interfere badly with each other even if running on different frequencies.
If you use LBT_RSSI as I described earlier it can be made…"

"Hi Tridge, as a work around for people that arent lucky enough to have a RFD900x, surely running two telemetry radios off a companion PC in the support A/C, one to the retrieval a/c and the other to the base.  The companion PC would be connected to…"

"Hey,
Sadly SydneyRPA's is also not ready in time.  We had some motor delivery issues for our Support AC.  Sorry Aussie vendors you made us wait 6.5 weeks for a DLE 30.....  I got it in 3 days from an overseas vendor and it runs great.  We really…"

Chris commented on Alex Taylor's blog post Where Can I Fly My Drone In Australia
"James, thank you.
Hi WallyJas,
This is something that has seemed to gained a life of it's own.  The information here is from a hobby perspective (but note there is very little regulatory differences on this particular item so go figure....).   If…"

Chris commented on Alex Taylor's blog post Where Can I Fly My Drone In Australia
"Hi Alex, there are a number of inaccuracies in that article. Not sure if you have any connection to them but if you do then you should pass on the below.  My comments are for the hobby related items.
Firstly there is no ban on flying within 5.5…"

Chris replied to Jack's discussion RSSI log in 3DR SOLO
"The RSSI component will only be on the Tlogs they are on the controller as its the only one that knows the RSSI at that time.  If you put it then into MIssion Planner (and you to display choose remrssi) it will give the RSSI at that given moment -…"

Chris commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Using the new geofencing feature with the 3DR Solo
"Hi Chris A, I love my Solo (and my 6 other pixhawk flying machines) and I'm an avid Android user, I'm not sure I agree with the above comment about AR being particularly hard to on the hardware on Android.  It is unlikely that I'll invest in a IOS…"

Chris commented on Chris Anderson's blog post July 4th sale on 3DR Solo: $479 without gimbal, $599 with gimbal
"Hi JB,
Try a mail forwarder, thats how I ordered some stuff from them. Although not a Solo, I got that through GoOutdoors when they had the 20% off sale. With the cheap airfares it seems that it would almost be cost neutral to go over and buy it…"

Chris commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Using the new geofencing feature with the 3DR Solo
"Guys you have to remember that they lost a key dev only a few months back.  Be it that it was a choice at that stage to not continue with Android and they have changed or it was that persons decision to leave as they got a better offer we need to…"

Chris commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Using the new geofencing feature with the 3DR Solo
"Hi Chris A,
"will be coming to Android soon" - Thank you so much for listening to your user base on the Android issue, I had faith that 3DR would come around on this.  Its great to see companies listen and then act.  Hopefully this will continue and…"

Chris replied to Seppo's discussion RFD900, RFD900+ - New long range radio modem
"You should get much better range from the RFD900's compared to the 3DR style radios. Yes you can mix 3DR radios with RFD900's as long as you dont try the multi node stuff with the 2.x firmware.  I get around 1.5 times the range just with a straight…"
