Giovanni Esposito commented on Yana Tang's blog post Intelligent Electric Unmanned Helicopter "PARUS " released
"Are you using a fixed pitch propeller on the tail?  What's the size of the main rotor? Any flying videos?"

Giovanni Esposito commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Vision of a full-automated farm drone system
"Boring and useless.
Says nothing about the real data acquisition. What data are they capturing? How often? Are the data usefull, can the farmer use them to correct/enhance farming (without spending much more money)? 
These are the questions they…"

Giovanni Esposito commented on Tomi Piriyev's blog post DroneePLANE- The Professional Mapping & Surveying Drone with API
"Very good!  Professionally done, way better than the majority of the competitors...serious engineer and designer behind this, no amateurs...  I can't see any big flaws with it, even on the price side, that is what it should be. The only "thing" is…"

"I remember seeing this last year... any news of implementation in the px4 stack?"

Giovanni Esposito commented on cedivad's blog post fpv.blue's HD FPV first batch is now available at €499, a price decreasing by €3 per hour or €72 per day
"Cedivad, thanks for the info, please put them on the webpage too, with some pictures of the actual devices and maybe the user manual or the detailed menu (they look very nice, you should show them on your site, not in a third party review)
I admit…"

"Looks good! Transmitter dimensions? Weight?  Low-light camera performance / IR filter?  Embedded telemetry?"

Giovanni Esposito commented on HELIPSE's blog post New UAV helidrone from Helipse the HE 220 E
"Great design, mine has a lot in common! Always wanted to try a fixed pitch tail rotor to save weight and complexity, but had no time and not sure was worth it. Is it? Does it work correctly?
Were are you located in France? maybe we are not that far…"

Giovanni Esposito commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Simulation of a drone/airplane collision
"@Marc It has been simulated: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/simulation-of-8-lb-drone-being-...
It's not a surprise that a typical quadcopter sucked into a jet engine it will probably lead to catastrofic engine failure.
The test craft used in…"

Giovanni Esposito commented on jlcortex's blog post 2 hours and 5 minutes test flight with maximum takeoff weight
"Traditional helis now are serial killers and giant 20Kg 30" prop multirotors are safe crafts... but came on, guys! It's ridiculous.  A swashplate with 2 links is complex mechanics, while 4 engines with a gas motor and generator is simple?
Giant…"

Giovanni Esposito commented on jlcortex's blog post 2 hours and 5 minutes test flight with maximum takeoff weight
"How much fuel did you have on board? (gasoline/oil mix)
What motor/generator are you using? Fuel injected/carburator? Did you have electric starter onboard? Is it reliable? How many hours are you getting between engine rebuilds?
Traditional gas…"

Giovanni Esposito commented on Julian's blog post 3DR's Rise and Fall
"This means that there will not be any Pixhawk MINI? They say no more hardware, and then the Pixhawk (and most of the other producst) are back in stock?

To me Solo looked pretty good. Presentation video at Virgin Spaceport was stunning. So…"

Giovanni Esposito commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Delft VTOL project uses helicopter-style main rotor for effeciency
"How much more efficient in forward flight is compared to a conventional elicopter? How fast is the cruise speed?  10000mAah means nothing if you don't state the voltage... (it's 12S, so 44,4 Volt, right?)"

Giovanni Esposito commented on moglos's blog post Anatomy of a 425km Flight
"I second what Rob said! Have you tested another esc to compare data? Probably a much lighter Esc32 (for example) will do so much better in terms of efficiency (it's also a lot more tuneable) and save a lot of weight. Motor and prop too don't look…"
