"Sorry can't show whole airframe, I'm paid for my work. This was almost two years ago, we build them bigger, and without control surfaces now.Just shared that pic too show well shapeways works, and that you can build in sections, and still achieve…"
"I did mine at Shapeways, two years ago, and it came out real smooth. People should consider this if they wish to pursue co-axle airframes :) "
"You should add the comment "and it's real" to your campaign :)"
"Everyone in the area, and the ski hill owners. have to sign they agree to the operation. The only issue is "the area" as I read it. So far we have been in remote area's. and have only needed land owners sign off. Since it has been for mining. there…"
"Next time you want to fly in winter, just use one of the large shops at my work place.... WTF Rob, its too damn cold :)(And I grew up in Northern Ontario)"
"True gyros.... aka mechanical, they give your true attitude, absolute, same units used for your instruments. MEMs gyros are just rate sensors.
The two cores run same program, if data is different, there is extensive code to determine which is…"

"One of my clients is a major manufacture of servo drives, they gave us the board they use in there drives. I will ask Monday if it is public info. As too frame, I suggest you watch Robert Lefebvre's video, on airframes. Pretty much tells you all you…"
"Anna, I program a commercial autopilot system, modifying it's UI to specific customers needs.
I did not write the primary code, but I have studied it, and the main difference being sensors input.
The commercial unit I work with uses TRUE gyro's,…"

"You can pulse more then one (we pulsed 4), and prop wash given the above example was no issue.
However the program that managed noise vs true signal, with PWM control, and comm's, went beyond a Arduino. We use a Windows CE board now, because it is…"

"Jasper, I have posted pic's of early prototypes, and have given out as much as I can. I have my own automation engineering company, with my primary client a manufacture of mining equipment /services. The unit we now produce, uses an airframe like…"
"If it's any help Jasper, we fly in a 8' x 8' tunnel, using one Sick TIM551. Very light weight and very good results.
We only went for TOF camera's, to increase our sweep resolution for…"

"As someone who has been flying with laser scanners commercially (under ground...avoids the law), for over a year now, I have to agree 100% with what LD states. We currently use a SICK scanner, and fly in a 8' x 8' tunnels, but have tried all other…"
"He is lucky he didn't have a pilots license TBH, transport Canada would have come down on him harder."
"Hal, your confusing Airline transport license with commercial license. There is little extra training, and nothing required annually, other then your medical. In fact, you can move down to private or up to commercial (once you have it), just by…"
"Commercial (which I have) vs Private pilot.... different medical examine and a little longer test.
That's it, doesn't make you a better drone pilot in any way :( "

"Rob, it comes down to the fact, in the end, like any business in North America, it will be the lawyers and insurance companies that control the industry. The regs, as they stated, will keep them at bay, and give us a set of rules that will make sure…"
