About Me:
I'm a tree fruit and table grape grower in California's Central Valley. We're constantly watching for technology that can better the industry in which I'm involved. This is by far the most exciting & entertaining tech development that's taken shape for quite some time.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Crop surveying is top on the list. I'm currently flying both a Skywalker & an IRIS+ with good results out of both. Let's fly!

"Hi hightechhobbie,
Have you worked with your TKOFF_ .... parameters? Don't think you should be able to throttle up with the RC in auto. You're accelerometer takes care of this & kick's the throttle on after the plane has left your hand. Set the…"

"Mark,
Thanks for the input. In the case of installing Pix4D, software installs fine, & appears to operate fine (initially). When I bring my pic's in & start a new project, my first warning shows up; 'Warning w0045: Less than 4GB of available RAM…"

"I have nearly the same setup as Mark. (Windows 8.1 via Parallels on a MacBook Air) I haven't run into issues flashing new firmware, but when I start looking at the post processing end of things, there's not much available for Mac, & even 'Window's…"
"Chad/Jimmy,
In relation to using the EFLA600 to trigger a Canon S110 (running CHDK) via the Pixhawk, I think I’ve combed thru most of what is floating around on the main forums. Still no dice. My complex;

"Have you tried re-calibrating your ESC?
3DR IRIS - Re-Calibrating the ESC
After updating parameters, only one direction spun for me, & the other two props had no response. After re-calibrating ESC's, the issue went away.
Good luck."

"Todd / Vu,
Simple solution = calibrate ESC...
Done!"
