"Good stuff Chris, thanks for posting, since I have been using 123D I have actually had some pretty good results, 1 year ago and this was “Star Trek” stuff. Can’t wait till next week."
"Maybe it is just me, but how is this a bad thing? True they are using an entry level airframe, but, how is that a bad thing? This has some positive attributes as well. For the stated mission of the aircraft, they are a perfect fit. Something an…"
"Tried today again, was able to orbit 5 locations and RTL with no problems using my Nexus 7, not sure what kind of problem you might be having with your Nexus or radio. That seems odd. Be sure and let us know what you figure out. I would suspect the…"
"Willing to help any way I can, still learning myself, bad part, I find myself having to learn something new everyday with the way the tech is going, but again, willing to help if I can"
"cool, thanks Scott"
"@Scott, would be interested in seeing a picture of your mount on your X8, trying to figure one out for mine"
"@Lars, thank you very much for the link from your blog on the Autodesk123D program, just started playing with it, but is is working quite nice, will continue to follow your progress, thanks again"
"I mount mine on the side of my makeshift sun shade with velcro, works quite well"
"Dang, you beat me to it Quadrocopter, but we all know they can't mention that because of the law suit against them
@Joshua - exactly"
@Joshua - exactly"
"I can see I am fighting a losing battle here, and frankly I agree with a large majority. I am simply stating the facts based on my own experience. Yeah, shit happens, but it did not. What happened was a good video of the Maker Fair. I am not here to…"
"I see where you are coming from, I really do, I cringe every time I see a DJI Phantom fly over a concert crowd. But, no shit, some of you are beginning to sound like an FAA no brainer. Flights over crowds can easily be managed with the proper…"
"Cool video Chris, thanks for sharing. Which I could have made it down to chat. Oh for the haters, since I have actually worked with 3DR on a project, I can guaranty every safety measure was in place for the filming of this video."
"Yeah Patrick, and from the sound of it, that is exactly what they plan on doing, ohe well, once a pirate always a pirate"
"I agree with most here, you will need both. But it also depends on what kind of agriculture industry you are planning on working. I currently work one winery with my 3DR X8 and it provides all the coverage that is required for the client. All the…"
"Yeah, the FAA would have a problem with it in some applications, but I see a nice little spot sprayer for agriculture, could pack a couple gallons on that. With say water being 8.345 pounds per gallon, if I am reading it right, a 15kg payload? I…"
"you going to add 4 more motors eventually, X8 is a great way to go. As for as the compass issue you are having, have not had any problems myself, hit up tech support, there are also videos on the 3DR youtube on compass call."
