"George, I have used one of the early Event38 E384 fixed wing drones for aerial surveying and 3D mapping of golf courses. It was very effective.

"Stephen, The Rpanion-server is interesting. Can Mission Planner be used to control the flight controllers through the Rpanion-server, by connecting Mission Planner to the Rpanion-server via WiFi."
"I noticed this OpenDroneID Project that is compatible with Mavlink data.
Looks like there are some development kits that will provide BlueTooth5 ID.

"I agree that the "amateur built aircraft" is being defined in a way that makes pretty much every model aircraft non-compliant.
It forces "amateur built aircraft" producers(us) into the same category as UAV producers for the purposes of UAV…"

"I noticed that Altitude Angle is already incorporated into Mission Planner. It already provides the Standard remote identification.

"It is possible that with ardupilot and the mission planner any drone could be compliant with the FAA identification standards and not be limited just to local flying fields. The tamper resistance requirement looks like the biggest road block. …"
"Crystal, Great to see that you are back. I am still enjoying flying my Techpod. Best wing I have ever flown!"
"That is one incredible design for an all terrain flying car!"

""one of the reasons that the Pixhawk autopilot has been so successful has been the remarkably low noise level of the MPU6000s." ... Well probably actually because the software/hardware is adequate to do the job and is CHEAP at < $200."…"

"Tom, One of the key parameters for an inertial navigation measurement unit for a navigation system like the Pixhawk, that is assisted with a GPS, is the angle random walk level of the gyros. The HG1120s are not that good of an IMU compared to…"
"Using the Solex Android App the Open Solo Update went well for me. Solex has a much better camera Heads Up Display for flying Solo."
"Looks like it is working. Here is a link to the installation instructions.

"I am approaching 3 years on my first Techpod. It is amazing how many hours of flight time you can build up on a Techpod. Typically I get about 2.5 hours of flight time at 13 m/s airspeed using two 6600 mAhr 4s batteries. Cruises at 13m/sec and…"
"I think that the 5v power supply on the standard 3DR power module will generate 5.3 volts down to a battery voltage of 6 volts or so. I have only tested this myself accidentally by drawing the batteries down to 7 volts in the lab. The 3DR power…"
