Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

IMHO, the surge of developments in drones is a new exciting golden age era of aviation. Platform interests include: fixwing, single and multi-rotors helicopters, equipped with autopilot systems. UAV development interests include: prop-fix wing hybrids, full uav systems capacity/platform scalable, truly open cross (unix/linux) portable, enhanced (secured/redundant) communication mainly WIFI/TCP/IP, open (portable to OS pervasive variants like windows, ios, android and linux) GCS to include vitual tranmitter.

"Fantastic.. Remember been requesting this from you first time you came up with Andropilot... Took a bit of while, eh.  Next in line would be the 3 x 3-way toggle switches, 3 x 2-way toggle switches, 2 sliders and Andropilot will be perfect!  To…"

"Hi.
That sounds great. 
I have both UDB4s (on my Gliders, FPV, etc.) and APM2.5s (quad,  FPV plane).
Please confirm or clarify if UDB4 (MatrixPilot) already works with DroidPlanner with full flight plan functionality, that includes "real-time"…"

"Greetings all.
Just sharing my "backyard" test flights with varying results spanning 4 flights using UBLOX NEO 6M (1st 3 flights) and UBLOX LEA 6H (last flight).  Must say that my flights with UBLOX LEA 6H have been consistently stable and…"

And if the modest efforts help, I'll continue on posting simple tests (I'll leave the more complex ones to skillfull/fearless leaders like you) as dev churns out releases.
