"It's not directly scale, it's wing loading. Just look at the sensitivity to winds for huge manned sized solar powered aircraft. It just so happens that you can fit incredibly powerful turbines and huge fuel tanks in a large aircraft."

"Aerovel's Flexrotor and NG's TERN both use large diameter props...rotors really because each prop has a swash plate like a helicopter. Big rotors with rigid rotor heads have huge control power relative to a quadwing. You can still see the Flexrotor…"

"The center stick idea is pretty cool!"

"Here is a paper I had a hand in. Development of Autonomous Magnetometer Rotorcraft for Wide Area Assessment

"Reliable right up to the point the engine seizes. But maybe they've fixed that?"

"F3D is amazing. Imagine trying to tune gains at 200 mph, 60 seconds at a time. "

"An entry and an exit in 24 hours!"

"Actually we have a Goblin 770 and a Trex800...but no autopilot integration on those."

"Unfortunately the MaxiJoker is RIP (resting in pieces). That thing was faster than stuff we have now on account of the aerodynamic canopy, short flight time, and no payload. In other words, not useful. I'm not sure if the tilt rotor will be done in…"

"Yes, JB, gas has a higher energy density, that is why gas aircraft are more efficient. The question they need to answer is: if I have a gas aircraft, why would I want to supplement it with electric and make it hybrid? There are certainly compelling…"

"Yep, and their power required numbers to lift their design payload are not realistic."

"While it may not have all the features, your gimbal's stabilization performance is on par or better than a $20k+ Tase gimbal. Weighs less too.

"Check out what Douglas DalSoglio, NORAD Operations Division analyst, said about TFRs in 2010. Very poignant. 
[H]e said he wants to see more advanced notice on TFRs and a more "realistic application" of them, using them when necessary and not as a…"

"First they failed at banning all commercial drone operations. Looks like they are attempting a second method. I would like to see a case in front of a judge regarding an illegal flight of a Proto X or paper airplane under a TFR.

It's all about…"

"Looking good! I can't wait for the ship demo.

Small companies know how to get things done without a committee:
Master, on.
Fuel pump, on.
Throttle, idle.
Engine, start.
A/P switch, on.
Pilot, remove.
Duct tape over A/P switch, check.
Ready for…"

"Make sure to turn on youtube syndication. Then they will no choice but to drag you before a judge."
