"I like the one with ducted fans, the thunderbird. I wonder if he heard of the coanda effect or vortex ring state. Anyway, I didn't enter so I will just be a cynical critic! :)"
"Watch these great videos on ducted propulsion and why the coander effect can be your worst enemy. The second one gets right to it, but the first one really explains some of the theory.

"Good to see Iris+ hanging out!"
"I guess Senate Bill S.2658 would basically put an end to this project, no? "
"I use a Xiaomi Yi that outputs to a 200mhz Vtx and I love flying around with goggles on. Video quality is much better than a board camera and it saves weight (delay doesn't matter). This alone makes my investment in my Iris+ worth every penny.

"I would HIGHLY recommend learning to fly on the sticks before you do anything else! Learning to fly is so much fun and it will seriously help you later on. I know of first and second hand experience where something went wrong and the pilot was…"
"There are other outfits out there that never really get discussed, like AirWare. They're after Enterprise business and are succeeding. When you get John Chambers on board you suddenly have a ton of access to serious business markets. These companies…"
