About Me:
I'm the owner of a UAS services provider in Colorado. I am a Section 333 Exempted Operator.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm interested in seeing prototype UAS applications become become a reality, and either augment or replace an existing strategy.

"Hi Shaun;
I'm helping Robert with his X8 unit and we're struggling with power/motor/screw type, and noticed you mentioned using a KDE motor with an 8s pack. Did you do this since you posted this reply? Thx.

"Hi Alain, I will send some photos a little later today. State of use is: purchased November 2015, used about a dozen times onboard UAV, no incidents, no issues, works fine. May need a firmware update that I will perform for you. Thanks!"
I'm selling my Piksi GPS system, includes two Piksi units, two external GPS antennas, ground planes, but no radios. Uses standard 433 or 915 3DR type radios. This kit retails for $995. Great for anyone wanting to test out RTK and use for more…
"Shaun: 8x of those, you're a lucky dude!"
"I'm a big fan of the T-Motor, in fact I run 8 Navigator 4120s on a CarbonCore Cortex X8. For your purposes, you should look into these: http://www.rctigermotor.com/html/2014/Efficiency-Type_0314/198.html Pricey but you'll need some serious lifting…"
"Yep, sure did. Sorry I couldn't help but looks like you figured it out. I learned something too!"
"Jacques,
I highly recommend trying out two flight modes: FBWA and Cruise. Before you do this, you must ensure your travel on all surfaces are correct and not reversed. You may need to reverse the horizontal stab. As far as trim values are…"

"Get yourself a Castle ccBEC ($20) and you can program a clean 5V to the rail. This is how I do it with an APM setup and I'd imagine its universal. I've been there too, had a 1880 go nosefirst into the dirt at 50+mph... It happens! Good luck!"
"Great, thank you. Much better and more efficient!"
I have built my 2nd Skywalker, and running a Super 25 (excessive). 60A eFlite, 4S 4200, DSM2, but throttle response is off the charts - not sure of RPMs but this thing is scary sounding at even 1/2 throttle. Question is, is there any parameter that…
"Try and connect over telemetry if you have the radios hooked up, the power from the Battery Monitor (if you are using) will power the Pixhawk, and the ESC/BEC will power the rail. Also it could be your servo is bad??"
"Cute. I'm terrible at forums."
"@RPM: Please elaborate, I've been able to successfully achieve FRTK (gpsstatus2 = 5) with the Piksi with 5cm accuracy. I was one of the early ones, but don't see much use for it now that the M8 chipset is available from uBlox"
"How does Swift Navigation feel about this? :)"
"Colorado representing! Folks posturing and jockeying for position here, getting interesting... "
"Hi Marc;
Interesting. I am really new to Plane, but have been using Copter for a few years now. Fundamentally different flight management routines, and having a hard time figuring it all out. I'm going to seek some local assistance on this next…"
