"Thanks! Email sent."
"Nice work Bill. I was going to do a BoxBotix BBCopter Redux this Summer to make something a bit simpler than what we have, but I see you have a great design going already. Are you going to release your files? Understand if not. I just don't want…"
"Great work!"
"TFR's are typical for big events. Large area likely has to do with ability to control and/or intercept in crowded airspace. Not sure. Was not there. But FAA likely had input from those providing the intercept service, aka USAF. Please believe…"
"Very sorry to hear. Your support will be missed. Good luck Rob!
Best Regards,

"I would vote for option 1, but hard to make everyone happy. full PCIe would be nice for hi power WiFi."
"Yes, thanks Rob. Just can't bring myself to get into bigger R/C heli's, but you may change my mind. I flew CH-46's, which get's rid of that nasty tail rotor. Makes me want to create a tandem rotor BBot variant. Never enough time. Great info on…"
"Always interested in the details Rob. Very interesting data. We are also running KDE's. A bit of a mix right now until we settle on a good power setup. Right now it looks like BBCopter will work best with the 475kv and 14in props at 6s. Should…"
"Rob,
Thanks for sharing details. For those who are wondering just how much more efficient a trad hell might be: We have a quad that is getting 45 minutes but that's mostly hover work. It also weighs 14 pounds and needs a 22,000 6s. Running 4 x…"

"I have been struggling for a color scheme! Bucket of Chicken is on the list. Being from Fort Collins I was leaning towards can of microbrewery beer. But sadly I don't think the Flying Bucket would be a contender. And it's long since been…"
"Gary, I get no credit for having a Kickstarter and STILL freely sharing how we did it by making open source?
Just for that you will be subjected to the FLYING BUCKET OF DOOM..."

"Hey Gary. Bill helped us get the DCM setup so the board could be initialized pointing up and not screw up the math I don't really understand. I hacked together some code to handle a VTOL mode, which was really just tricking the board into hovering…"
"So cool that VTOL stuff is gaining ground! I had to go way back in my archives for this one. That's after Bill P helped us tweak the UDB4 for VTOL. Notice you never see it "land" in the video. It did. Just not vertically. I have to find some…"
