"The Hermes spec sheet says they are 10C.
Each cell is 3.4 Ah at 3.8 V. So, if I make an 11.4 V battery out of three cells, will that still be 3.4 Ah, or is it 10.2 Ah?"

"Sounds like an Iris+. Flies 12-25 minutes?"
"What's the advantage of this new design? "
"Oh, ha! I thought that sounded too low! £19-24K sounds more reasonable. I'll get in touch.

"What's the status of this? It's hard to tell from your website. Is it $500? What exactly do you get for that?
The webpage throws out "ISR, Mapping, LIDAR, Multispectral" and even "transponder". Are these available options or just suggestions? What…"

You may have seen reports about SolidEnergy's batteries that use a new type of Li-metal anode which enables a doubling of the energy density of lithium batteries. I looked into it some more and found their first market is going to be drone…
"I set up one of my radio spring switches for that, it can be useful for more than just descending quickly. I was practicing maneuvering around trees, and getting very close to them, and of course my blades started getting into the leaves and then…"
"What's a good source of threaded insert for the standard Iris+ machine screws? I mean, it's one thing to be able to print the arms, but you still have to be able to screw everything together."
"What if I found it on Craig's List and paid cash. I have the original receipt from Fry's, but how do I prove it's mine?"
"Here's a consumer fuel cell called UPP. It uses hydrogen, and you can replace your spent fuel cell at places in the UK. It's only 5V though, delivering 25 wh, and weighs 620g. A 3DR Iris+ 5100 battery delivers around 55 wh and weighs 320g. Sure wish…"
"Cool! Thanks for the reply, that's exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for.
Now, is "we will release in 2015" a typo? Because there's not a whole lot of 2015 left."

I mean, I'd like to buy just the guts, and put them into my own airframe. Seems like this would be a good way to compete with DJI - you could get a lot more 3DR platforms out there that way, on airframes of all shapes and sizes, and let your…
"True, but why would they approve my device sight unseen? Maybe the best thing is to do the initial application for already approved UAVs like you said (one of which I already own) and then apply with an amendment for anything I build. That way it…"
I'm working on my FAA 333 exemption request, and I'm thinking about the part where it typically says something like:We are petitioning for exemption to enable AUAV to operate a series of UAS platforms that have been previously approved by exemption,…
"That's pretty cool, thanks! But now I'm not so sure about the advantages. Seems like you still need separate camera stabilization if it's windy."
