Drone Tinker commented on Drone Tinker's blog post Pixhawk Powered Wooden Quadcopter with High Performance
"@Hans D. Jung Thanks for the heads up! There was a bad configuration that was consuming all of the server's memory allowance. The site is working now."

Drone Tinker commented on Drone Tinker's blog post Pixhawk Powered Wooden Quadcopter with High Performance
"Hi magjogui
The quadcopter in the video is made from 1/4th inch wood square rods and 1/8th inch wood flats. I used only a mini hand saw with fine teeth and epoxy glue and heavy duty zip-ties for the motors to complete the build in only a few hours.…"

Here is a great wood quadcopter project made with Pixhawk. The top speed is over 60mph and flies for 15 - 25 minutes depending on 4s or 6s batteries. It is able to lift 15lbs with reliability and tolerates crashes very well. Enjoy the test…

Drone Tinker commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Pozxy ultrawideband positioning support from ArduCopter
"This is such an amazing concept brought up for people to take note of. My skull feels stomped in how nobody seems to be extremely excited and interested in features like this. This positioning feature has been on my mind for years and I didn't even…"

Drone Tinker commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Some good (painful) physics lessons in trying to put a 360 video rig under a drone
"I dont get it. They could have lifted 4 times that load for a fraction of the cost of some nearly useless product like the Inspire. Heck, even the hobbyking beerlift events pretty much show you how not to suck, and for low costs."

Drone Tinker commented on Chris Anderson's blog post DIY Drones at 79,000 members -- time to move to a new platform?
"exactly @Craig Issod. Whatever platform gets chosen ideally should be highly adaptable to the ever-changing cultural and technological environments of websites and the web user relation."

"I don't know Chris. I think the Wordpress/Buddypress/BBpress systems would be most ideal. This way, you can minimize or maximize any experience with each section/plugins system and not have to worry about finalizing your master plan and having…"

"Hmm, I suppose it's time to do something. I never liked Ning due to the non self hosting nature and other limitations. Jamroom looks to be a great choice considering the magnitude of the existing community here. I like the self hostable aspect of…"

Drone Tinker commented on Jonathan 's blog post Angled aluminum motor shims for 450 frame
"Yea, as someone said above. These shims should probably work best with a more aerodynamic frame. Although adjustable tilt controlled with servos would probably be the ultimate solution."

Drone Tinker commented on Jonathan 's blog post Angled aluminum motor shims for 450 frame
"Seems rather function-less with a traditional frame. Maybe a frame that had a purpose driven shape that could benefit from this motor positioning would offer various advantages. Was there any specific goal you had in mind with this design concept?"

Drone Tinker commented on cedivad's blog post Introducing Fpv.Red - A HD FPV video system that doesn't fear latency or range
"@The Sun I have not done any precise calculations, only rough estimations of bandwidth degradation. Im using 1W TX power to get the 50 mile range. This red system is very interesting though. The small size is wonderful unlike my setup which weights…"

Drone Tinker commented on cedivad's blog post Introducing Fpv.Red - A HD FPV video system that doesn't fear latency or range
"Very nice work. I have a project I'm working on that achieves roughly 40ms glass-to-glass depending on the latency of the monitor used.  But It's not a plug and play system I would be able to sell. It will cost me $1000~ by the time It's done and…"
