"I have been fascinated by this design for a while, mostly due to it's compact size and I now have a project where range is not hugely important, but compactness is, so decided to give this a shot. This one is just roughly assembled to test the…"
"Will, This just logs GPS data? What advantages does that offer over the datalogs on the Pixhawk?."
"I had a clone LED/USB that never worked reliably, but the 3DR one has worked flawlessly."
"Since the laptop is no longer in the lid, I could ditch the fans and put in a set of small 3watt speakers there instead.They're powered by a PAM8403 board like this:

"Old laptop was kinda slow and used way too much power, so I got one of these instead:

"How does this work with regards to operating it in Canada? Don't you need permission from Health Canada to mount any laser on a UAV?"
"I used this one:

But you need to check with seller that it's compatible with your LCD display."

"Do you have picture of the mounting points on the Skywalker?"
"The pixhawk will estimate the windspeed and thereby the airspeed, even without an airspeed sensor."
"I'll check mine tomorrow. I actually never fly in FBWA. I fly in auto 90% of the time, the rest in manual or stabilized. (usually land in stabilized)."
"That's the idea. Ideally you should figure out the stall speed first and then set the fbw_min above that. It's a little tricky to find precisely, but to my best estimates my Talon has a stall speed of ~10m/s, so I have fbw_min set to 13m/s. This…"
"You might be better off lowering the arsp_fbw_min:

What if you reduce the values so that you can arm it by doing fake throws? Take the prop off first,…"
